53% of U.S. adults have very little confidence in newspapers. You randomly select 10 U.S. adults. Find the probability that the

faltersainse [42]

Answer:

a

$P(X = 5) = 0.2423$

b

$P( X \ge 6 )= 0.4516$

c

$P( X < 4 )= 0.12694$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The population proportion is p = 0.53

The sample size is n = 10

Generally the distribution of the confidence of US adults in newspapers follows a binomial distribution

i.e

$X \~ \ \ \ B(n , p)$

and the probability distribution function for binomial distribution is

$P(X = x) = ^{n}C_x * p^x * (1- p)^{n-x}$

Here C stands for combination hence we are going to be making use of the combination function in our calculators

Generally the probability that the number of U.S. adults who have very little confidence in newspapers is exactly five is mathematically represented as

$P(X = 5) = ^{10}C_5 * 0.53^5 * (1- 0.53)^{10-5}$

=> $P(X = 5) = 252 * 0.04182 * 0.023$

=> $P(X = 5) = 0.2423$

Generally the probability that the number of U.S. adults who have very little confidence in newspapers is at least six is mathematically represented as

$P( X \ge 6 )= P( X = 6) + P( X = 7) + P( X = 8) + P( X = 9) + P( X = 10)$

=> $P( X \ge 6 )= [^{10}C_6 * [0.53]^6 * (1- 0.53)^{10-6}] + [^{10}C_7 * [0.53]^7 * (1- 0.53)^{10-7}] + [^{10}C_8 * [0.53]^8 * (1- 0.53)^{10-8}] + [^{10}C_9 * [0.53]^9 * (1- 0.53)^{10-9}] + [^{10}C_{10} * [0.53]^{10} * (1- 0.53)^{10-10}]$

=> $P( X \ge 6 )= [0.227] + [0.1464] + [0.0619] + [0.0155] + [0.00082]$

=> $P( X \ge 6 )= 0.4516$

Generally the probability that the number of U.S. adults who have very little confidence in newspapers is less than four is mathematically represented as

$P( X < 4 )= P( X = 3) + P( X = 2) + P( X = 1) + P( X = 0)$

=> $P( X < 4 )= [^{10}C_3 * 0.53^3 * (1- 0.53)^{10-3}] + [^{10}C_2 * 0.53^2 * (1- 0.53)^{10-2}] + [^{10}C_1 * 0.53^1 * (1- 0.53)^{10-1}] + [^{10}C_0 * 0.53^0 * (1- 0.53)^{10-0}]$

=> $P( X < 4 )= 0.09051 + 0.03 + 0.0059 + 0.000526$

=> $P( X < 4 )= 0.12694$

The cost of six hens and one duck at the university poultry farm is GH₵40. While four hens and three ducks cost GH₵36. What is t

Anon25 [30]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call hens h and ducks d. The first algebraic equation says that 6 hens (6h) plus (+) 1 duck (1d) cost (=) 40.

The second algebraic equations says that 4 hens (4h) plus (+) 3 ducks (3d) cost (=) 36.

The system is

6h + 1d = 40

4h + 3d = 36

The best way to go about this is to solve it by substitution since we have a 1d in the first equation. We will solve that equation for d since that makes the most sense algebraically. Doing that,

1d = 40 - 6h.

Now that we know what d equals, we can sub it into the second equation where we see a d. In order,

4h + 3d = 36 becomes

4h + 3(40 - 6h) = 36 and then simplify. By substituting into the second equation we eliminated one of the variables. You can only have 1 unknown in a single equation, and now we do!

4h + 120 - 18h = 36 and

-14h = -84 so

h = 6.

That means that each hen costs $6. Since the cost of a duck is found in the bold print equation above, we will sub in a 6 for h to solve for d:

1d = 40 - 6(6) and

d = 40 - 36 so

d = 4.

That means that each duck costs $4.

What must be true for lines a and b to be parallel lines? Check all that apply.

Dima020 [189]

Answer:

Option (1), (2) , (7) and (8) is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: a║b and d and c be transversal , We have to find the value of x and measure of angle 1 and 2.

Since, a║b and d be a transversal then ,

∠BXZ = ∠AZP = 58° ( corresponding angles )

Thus, m∠2 = 58°

∠BYC = ∠XYZ = (4X-10)° (vertically opposite angles)

Since, a║b and c be a transversal then,

∠XYZ = ∠QZU = (4X-10)° (Corresponding angles)

Thus, m∠1 = (4X-10)°

Also, Since, 'a' is a straight line.

Sum of angles on a straight line is 180°.

⇒ ∠PZA + ∠PZQ + ∠QZU = 180°

⇒ 58° +(3X-1)°+(4X-10)° = 180°

⇒ 58° + 7x - 11 = 180°

⇒ 47° + 7x = 180°

⇒ 7x = 180°- 47°

⇒ 7x = 133°

⇒ x = 19°

Put x = 19 in (3X-1)° and (4X-10)° , we get

(3X-1)° = (3(19)-1)° = 56°

(4X-10)° = (4(19)-10)°= 66

Thus, (3X-1)° ≠ (4X-10)°

Thus, option (1), (2) , (7) and (8) is correct.
