Mary 's sheep=n

Sam's=4n

n+17<4n-8

17+8<4n-n

25<3n

8.333<n

least value= 8.4

Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

a. X is a binomial random variable with n = 50 and p = 0.04

b. Y is a binomial random variable with n = 40 and p = 0.015

Step-by-step explanation:

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.

X: the number of US residents (out of 50) with blood type AB.

Blood type AB is the rarest blood type, occurring in only 4% of the population in the United States

This means that $p = 0.04, n = 50$

Y: the number of Australians (out of 40) with blood type AB.

In Australia, only 1.5% of the population has blood type AB.

This means that $p = 0.015, n = 40$

Z: the total number of individuals (out of 90) with blood type AB.

Here

$n = 90, p = 0.04*\frac{50}{90} + 0.015*\frac{40}{90} = 0.0289$

Which of the following is true about the random variables X, Y, and Z?

Options a and b are true, while c is false.

Iron Man Training While training for an iron man competition, Tony bikes for 60 miles and runs for 15 miles. If his bikes speed

ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

<u>Tony biked 1 hour 40 minutes and run 3 hours 20 minutes.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

How long did Tony speed on his bike?

Let s to be Tony's running speed, then 8s is Tony's biking speed

Let's recall that Time = Distance/Speed

Bike time + Running time = 5 hrs

Replacing with the real values, we have:

60/8s + 15/s = 5

8s as Lowest Common Denominator

60 + 8 * 15 = 5 * 8s

60 + 120 = 40s

-40s = -180

s = -180-40

s = 4.5 ⇒ 8s = 36

Tony run at 4.5 mph and biked at 36 mph

Now, we can calculate the time, this way:

Bike time = Bike distance/Bike speed

Replacing with the real values, we have:

Bike time = 60/36

Bike time = 5/3 (Dividing by 12)

5/3 hours * 60 = 100 minutes or 1 hour 40 minutes

Running time = 5 hours - 1 hour 40 minutes = 3 hours 20 minutes

<u>Tony biked 1 hour 40 minutes and run 3 hours 20 minutes.</u>
