A factory employs several thousand workers, of whom 35% are Hispanic. If the 17 members of the union executive committee were ch

osen from the workers at random, the number of Hispanics on the committee would have the binomial distribution with n = 17 and p = 0.35. (a) What is the mean number of Hispanics on randomly chosen committees of 17 workers? (b) What is the standard deviation σ of the count X of Hispanic members? (c) Suppose that 10% of the factory workers were Hispanic. Then p = 0.1. What is σ in this case? What is σ if p = 0.01? What does your work show about the behavior of the standard deviation of a binomial distribution as the probability of a success gets closer to 0? As p decreases, σ decreases. As p increases, σ increases. As p increases, σ decreases. As p decreases, σ increases.

Answer:

as p decreases, sigma decreases.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that 35%are hispanic. For a sample of 17 members

n = 17

p = 0.35

and the number of Hispanics on the committee would have the binomial distribution

a) Mean of X = E(x) = np = 17(0.35)\\= 5.95

b) Std dev X = \sqrt{npq} =\sqrt{5.95(0.65)} \\=1.9665

c) Here n =17 and p =0.1

Mean = 1.7\\\sigma = \sqrt{17(0.1)(0.9)} =1.234

d) When p = 0.01

Mean = 0.17\\\sigma = 0.410

Thus we find that as p decreases, sigma decreases.

Answer:

C. y= 14x+20

Step-by-step explanation:

By looking at the table, you can put in the x-values into all of the equations until you find the corresponding y-values that matches with the values in the table. For example: y= 14(2)+ 20, y=48. y= 14(20) +20, y=300. Hope this helped!

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other , then

CO = OA = b

DO = OB = a

(a)

CA = CO + OA = b + b = 2b

(b)

DC = DO + OC = a - b

(c)

CB = CO + OB = b + a = a + b

José vende dos bicicletas, cada una a 198 soles. Si en una ganó el 10% y en la otra perdió el 10%. ¿Cuanto ganó o perdió pir la
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

I win 10% = 217.8

I lost 10% = 178.2

217.8 + 178.2 = 396

198 + 198 = 396

396 = 396

I neither gain nor lose anything: V

If EH = 76, calculate DI.
Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

DI = 38

Step-by-step explanation:

Δ EHC and Δ DIC are similar and ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

\frac{DI}{EH} = \frac{DC}{EC} , substitute values

\frac{DI}{76} = \frac{1}{2}  ( cross- multiply )

2DI = 76 ( divide both sides by 2 )

DI = 38
