Using the hypergeometric distribution, it is found that there is a 0.7568 = 75.68% probability that neither can wiggle his or her ears.

The people are chosen from the sample without replacement, which is why the <u>hypergeometric distribution</u> is used to solve this question.

Hypergeometric distribution:

P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

The parameters are:

  • x is the number of successes.
  • N is the size of the population.
  • n is the size of the sample.
  • k is the total number of desired outcomes.

In this problem:

  • 1000 people means that N = 1000
  • 130 can wiggle their ears, thus k = 130
  • Two are selected, thus n = 2.

The probability that neither can wiggle his or her ears is P(X = 0), thus:

P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}

P(X = x) = h(0,1000,2,130) = \frac{C_{130,0}C_{870,2}}{C_{1000,2}} = 0.7568

0.7568 = 75.68% probability that neither can wiggle his or her ears.

Estimate the product of 2.28 × 5.59 using compatible numbers.
Ierofanga [76]

The quotient of 2.28 × 5.59 using compatible numbers is approximately 12.75

<h3>What are products?</h3>

Quotients are result derived from the multiplication of two rational or integers. Given the expression

2.28 × 5.59

Convert to fraction

2.28 × 5.59 = 228/100  ÷  559/100
2.28 × 5.59= 127452/10000

2.28 × 5.59=  12.75

Hence the quotient of  2.28 × 5.59  using compatible numbers is approximately 12.75

I need a written response to solve all 4 steps
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

a. -2

b. s = 2 and y = -5

c. (2.5, -9)

d. -7x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

a. In the image, I have used rise over run, which is -8/4 or -2.

b. slope formula is mx + b = y, where m is slope and b is the y-intercept. In the equation 2x - 5y = -10, 2 is the slope and -5 is the y-intercept.

c. Plug in all given numbers into an equation and the ones you do not have will be in the points you need it to be. Once you graph the equation you will receive (2.5, -9).

d. y = mx + b

   5 = (-7)(-1) + b

   5 = 7 + b

   -2 = b

y = -7x - 2

Is 12.89 irrational
STatiana [176]

No.  It's the ratio of  1,289  to  100 .

Also, it can be written as a fraction with whole numbers
on top and bottom, like this:    1289 / 100 .

Also, it can be written down on paper completely, using
digits and a decimal point or fraction bar.  (You did that.)

Any one of these three facts makes it a rational number.
