The mailing list of an agency that markets scuba-diving trips to the Florida Keys contains 78% males and 22% females. The agency

choli [55]

Answer:

a) 0.98% probability that 17 of the 29 people are men.

b) 3.86% probability that the first woman is reached on the 8th call

Step-by-step explanation:

For each person chosen by the agency, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is a man, or it is a woman. The probability of selecting a man or a women in each trial is independent from other trials. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

(a) What is the probability that 17 of the 29 people are men?

This is P(X = 17) when $n = 29, p = 0.78$ . So

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 17) = C_{29,17}.(0.78)^{17}.(0.22)^{12} = 0.0098$

0.98% probability that 17 of the 29 people are men.

(b) What is the probability that the first woman is reached on the 8th call?

On the first 7 trials, all men, each with a 78% probability.

On the 8th trial, a women, with a 22% probability. So

$P = (0.78)^{7}*0.22 = 0.0386$

3.86% probability that the first woman is reached on the 8th call

The point A(–1, 4) is translated five units right and three units down. Which rule describes the translation?

lozanna [386]

Answer: SECOND OPTION.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following point identified as "A":

$A(-1,4)$

You can identify that the x-coordinate of the point is:

$x=-1$

And its y-coordinate is:

$y=4$

According to the exercise, this point is translated five units right and three units down. This means that, in order to find the new coordinates, you need to add 5 to the original x-coordinate and subtract 3 from the original y-coordinate.

Therefore, you can conclude that the rule that best describe the translation of the point $A(-1,4)$ is the following:

$(x,y)$ → $(x+5,y-3)$

Then, the point translated is:

$A'(-1+5,\ 4-3)$ → $A'(4,1)$

Leokris [45]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

The enormous sinkhole that appeared in the middle of Guatemalan neighborhood in the year 2010 swallowed a three story building above it and the sinkhole has an estimated depth of about 100 feet

How much material is needed to fill the sinkhole?

Then , the material needed to fill the sinkhole will be dependent on the volume of the sinkhole.

Determine what information is needed to answer the question.

The information that is needed to answer this question are:

the base area of the sinkhole will be required; &

the height should also be known

if the base area is determined then we can proceed to determine how much material is needed to be calculated.

Do you think your estimate is more likely to be too high or too low

No, the estimate is not likely to be too high or too low rather the estimate of the material required will be almost equal to the volume of the sinkhole, but that does not implies that it will be exactly the same since the sinkhole is not uniform and regular in shape.

Please help!!! the question is in the picture above— this is geometry

Serga [27]

Use the co‐interior rule, corresponding angle rule, alternate angle rule and vertical opposite angle rule to solve the question above.

angle G5 = angle K1 reason : corresponding angles

angle J1 = angle H3 reason: vertical opposite angles

angle J2 = angle K4 reason: vertical opposite angles

angle G5 = angle K4 reason: co‐ interior angles

angle F6 = angle K4 reason: alternate angle
