Answer:

0.1348 = 13.48% probability that 3 of them entered a profession closely related to their college major.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each graduate, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they entered a profession closely related to their college major, or they did not. The probability of a graduate entering a profession closely related to their college major is independent of other graduates. This, coupled with the fact that they are chosen with replacement, means that 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.

53% reported that they entered a profession closely related to their college major.

This means that p = 0.53

9 of those survey subjects are randomly selected

This means that n = 9

What is the probability that 3 of them entered a profession closely related to their college major?

This is P(X = 3).

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

P(X = 9) = C_{9,3}.(0.53)^{3}.(0.47)^{6} = 0.1348

0.1348 = 13.48% probability that 3 of them entered a profession closely related to their college major.

An airplane flying at an altitude of 1000 feet spots a runway beacon 4000 feet away.What should the airplane’s angle of descent
eimsori [14]

tan(theta) = opposite side/adjacent side
So tan (theta) = 1000/4000= 1/4
so theta= arc tan(1/4)= 0.245 radians= 0.245*180/pi = 14degree
So option a is correct.

Heya mate....

Step-by-step explanation:

This is ur answer....

<h2><em>-</em><em>-</em><em>></em><em> </em><em>ADDITIVE INVERSE!</em></h2>

<em>Additive inverse simply means chan</em><em>ging the sign of the number and adding it to the original number to get an answer equal to 0. The properties of additive inverse are given below, based on negation of the original number. For example, x is the original number, then its additive inverse is -x.</em>

The following data represent the chemistry grades for a random sample of 12 freshmen at a certain college along with their score
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

R = 0.862

Strong positive relationship

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data:

Test Chemistry Student Score,

x Grade, y

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

Score,x = 65 50 55 65 55 70 65 70 55 70 50 55

Grade, y = 85 74 76 90 85 87 94 98 81 91 76 74

Using technology :

The CORREL function in excel, calculators will give accurate value of the correlation Coefficient between two variables, x and y. The correlation Coefficient obtained using technology is : 0.862

The correlation Coefficient value ranges between (-1 and 1) with values closer to either - 1 or 1 reflecting stronger relationship. A value of 0 means there is no relationship between the variables. Negative values indicate negative relationships while positive indicates positive association between the variables.

Therefore. With a correlation Coefficient of 0.862, the correlation Coefficient can be interpreted as meaning that ; there is a strong positive relationship between score and grade.
