Answer:

Given

Sneeze Revisited According to a study done by Nick Wilson of Otago University Wellington, the probability a randomly selected individual will cover his or her mouth with a tissue, handkerchief, or elbow (the method recommended by public health officials) is 0.047. Suppose you sit on a bench in a mall and observe people’s habits as they sneeze.

a)

Let x be the number of person do not cover their mouth.

Let the probability a randomly selected individual will cover his or her mouth with a tissue, handkerchief, or elbow (the method recommended by public health officials) is 0.047.

P=0.047

Let the sample size n=15

Let x follows binomial distribution with parameter np.

Here n=15 and P=0.047

The probability of a mass function of a binomial distribution is

P(X=x) = , for x = 0, 1, 2, . . . , n

Here we find the probability that among 10 randomly observed individuals exactly 4 do not cover their mouth when sneezing.

P(X=2) =

P(X=2) = 0.124049

Therefore the probability exactly 2 cover their mouth with a tissue, handkerchief, or elbow is 0.124049 .

b)

Let the probability that among 15 randomly observed individuals fewer than 3 cover their mouth with a tissue, handkerchief, or elbow.

We know that

Here P=0.047

Let the sample size n=15

Let x follows binomial distribution with parameter np.

Here n=15 and P=0.047

The probability of a mass function of a binomial distribution is

P(X=x) = , for x = 0, 1, 2, . . . , n

Here we find the probability that among 10 randomly observed individuals exactly 4 do not cover their mouth when sneezing.

P(X<3) = ++

P(X<3) = 0.485728+0.359327+0.124049

P(x<3) = 0.969104

C)

Yes.We would be surprised if, after observing 15 randomly observed individuals, more than 4 covered the mouth with a tissue, handkerchief, or elbow.

Here n=15 and P=0.047

The probability of a mass function of a binomial distribution is

P(X=x) = , for x = 0, 1, 2, . . . , n

P(x>4) = +++...+

P(x>4) = 0.000425573+..+1.20633E-20

P(x>4) = 0.000462885

P(x>4) 0.0005.

I am surprised that the probability of more than 4 individuals covered their mouth with a tissue, handkerchief, or elbow out of 15 individuals is approximately 0.05% which is extremely small.

The following system has a solution: x=10, y=-3, z=14
wolverine [178]
<h2>Answer:</h2><h3>False</h3>

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

In this problem, we have the following System of Three Equations in Three Variables, so our goal is to determine whether x=10, \ y=-3, \ z=14 is the solution to this system, that is, the ordered triple P(x,y,z) where three planes intersect.

The easier way to find the answer is to plug in the x, y and z values in the equations and figure out whether the equations satisfy the solutions. Then:

First \ Equation: \\ \\ 3(10)+7(-3)-14=-5 \\ \\ It \ satisfies \ the \ first \ equation \\ \\ \\ Second \ Equation: \\ \\ 9(10)-(-3)-4(14)=37 \neq 17 \\ \\ It \ doesn't \ satisfy \ the \ second \ equation

STOP HERE! Since the x, y an z values doesn't satisfy the second equation, the x=10, \ y=-3, \ z=14 is not the solution to the system of equations.

Solve the quadratic equation 3x²+x-5=0
PIT_PIT [208]
This does not look easy to factor, so I'd suggest using the quadratic formula:
        -1 plus or minus sqrt( 1-4(3)(-5) )
x = -----------------------------------------------
                               2*3

         -1 plus or minus sqrt(61)
    = ------------------------------------
                             6

Thus, there are 2 real, unequal, irrational roots / solutions.
