Answer:

a) 0.3921 = 39.21% probability that fewer than 14 of them have had a physical examination in the past two years.

b) 0.107 = 10.7% probability that at least 17 of them have had a physical examination in the past two years.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each women, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they visit their doctors for a physical examination at least once in two years, or they do not. The probability of a woman visiting their doctor at least once in this period is independent of any other women. This 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.

70% of adult women visit their doctors for a physical examination at least once in two years.

This means that $p = 0.7$

20 adult women

This means that $n = 20$

(a) Fewer than 14 of them have had a physical examination in the past two years.

This is:

$P(X < 14) = 1 - P(X \geq 14)$

In which

$P(X \geq 14) = P(X = 14) + P(X = 15) + P(X = 16) + P(X = 17) + P(X = 18) + P(X = 19) + P(X = 20)$

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

$P(X = 14) = C_{20,14}.(0.7)^{14}.(0.3)^{6} = 0.1916$

$P(X = 15) = C_{20,15}.(0.7)^{15}.(0.3)^{5} = 0.1789$

$P(X = 16) = C_{20,16}.(0.7)^{16}.(0.3)^{4} = 0.1304$

$P(X = 17) = C_{20,14}.(0.7)^{17}.(0.3)^{3} = 0.0716$

$P(X = 18) = C_{20,18}.(0.7)^{18}.(0.3)^{2} = 0.0278$

$P(X = 19) = C_{20,19}.(0.7)^{19}.(0.3)^{1} = 0.0068$

$P(X = 20) = C_{20,20}.(0.7)^{20}.(0.3)^{0} = 0.0008$

So

$P(X \geq 14) = P(X = 14) + P(X = 15) + P(X = 16) + P(X = 17) + P(X = 18) + P(X = 19) + P(X = 20) = 0.1916 + 0.1789 + 0.1304 + 0.0716 + 0.0278 + 0.0068 + 0.0008 = 0.6079$

$P(X < 14) = 1 - P(X \geq 14) = 1 - 0.6079 = 0.3921$

0.3921 = 39.21% probability that fewer than 14 of them have had a physical examination in the past two years.

(b) At least 17 of them have had a physical examination in the past two years

$P(X \geq 17) = P(X = 17) + P(X = 18) + P(X = 19) + P(X = 20)$

From the values found in item (a).

$P(X \geq 17) = P(X = 17) + P(X = 18) + P(X = 19) + P(X = 20) = 0.0716 + 0.0278 + 0.0068 + 0.0008 = 0.107$

0.107 = 10.7% probability that at least 17 of them have had a physical examination in the past two years.

Two teams of movers are lowering a piano from the window of a 10 floor apartment building. The rope breaks when the piano is 30

GuDViN [60]

By solving the motion equations for the piano, we will see that they have 0.7 seconds to react.

<h3>How to find the motion equation for the piano.</h3>

So the piano is in a free fall from a height of 30m.

The motion equations will be given by:

The only force acting on the piano will be the gravitational one, thus the acceleration of the piano is the gravitational acceleration: a(t) = -9.8m/s^2 (Where the negative sign is because it is falling down).
To get the velocity we integrate over time, because the piano has no initial velocity, the constant of integration is zero: v(t) = (-9.8m/s^2)*t
To get the position equation we integrate again, here the initial position is 30 meters above the ground, so that will be our constant of integration: p(t) = (1/2)*(-9.8m/s^2)*t^2 + 30m

<h3>How long takes to fall?</h3>

We want to find the value of t such that the position is equal to zero, so we need to solve:

0 = (1/2)*(-9.8m/s^2)*t^2 + 30m

30m = (1/2)*(9.8m/s^2)*t^2

2*30m/(9.8m/s^2) = t^2

6.1 s^2 = t^2

√(6.1 s^2) = 2.5s = t

This means that the piano falls to the ground in 2.5 seconds.

But the workes notice it when the piano is 14 meters above the ground, it happens when:

p(t) = 14m = (1/2)*(-9.8m/s^2)*t^2 + 30m

Solving that we get:

30m - 14m = (1/2)*(9.8m/s^2)*t^2

2*16m/(9.8m/s^2) = t^2

3.27s^2 = t^2

√(3.27s^2) = t = 1.8s

So the piano falls in 2.5 seconds, and the works notice it 1.8 seconds after it starts falling, meaning that they have:

2.5 - 1.8 = 0.7 seconds to react.
