Using the lognormal and the binomial distributions, it is found that:

  • The 90th percentile of this distribution is of 136 dB.
  • There is a 0.9147 = 91.47% probability that received power for one of these radio signals is  less than 150 decibels.
  • There is a 0.0065 = 0.65% probability that for  6 of these signals, the received power is less than 150 decibels.

In a <em>lognormal </em>distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the z-score of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{\ln{X} - \mu}{\sigma}

  • It measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean.  
  • After finding the z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score, which is the percentile of X.

In this problem:

  • The mean is of \mu = 3.5.
  • The standard deviation is of \sigma = \sqrt{1.22}

Question 1:

The 90th percentile is X when Z has a p-value of 0.9, hence <u>X when Z = 1.28.</u>

Z = \frac{\ln{X} - \mu}{\sigma}

1.28 = \frac{\ln{X} - 3.5}{\sqrt{1.22}}

\ln{X} - 3.5 = 1.28\sqrt{1.22}

\ln{X} = 1.28\sqrt{1.22} + 3.5

e^{\ln{X}} = e^{1.28\sqrt{1.22} + 3.5}

X = 136

The 90th percentile of this distribution is of 136 dB.

Question 2:

The probability is the <u>p-value of Z when X = 150</u>, hence:

Z = \frac{\ln{X} - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{\ln{150} - 3.5}{\sqrt{1.22}}

Z = 1.37

Z = 1.37 has a p-value of 0.9147.

There is a 0.9147 = 91.47% probability that received power for one of these radio signals is  less than 150 decibels.

Question 3:

10 signals, hence, the binomial distribution is used.

Binomial probability distribution

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

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

The parameters are:

  • x is the number of successes.
  • n is the number of trials.
  • p is the probability of a success on a single trial.

For this problem, we have that p = 0.9147, n = 10, and we want to find P(X = 6), then:

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

P(X = 6) = C_{10,6}.(0.9147)^{6}.(0.0853)^{4} = 0.0065

There is a 0.0065 = 0.65% probability that for  6 of these signals, the received power is less than 150 decibels.

Answer: The number is 54!!!

Hope it helps!!!



Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the number x.

So, 5/6 (of or multiplication) = 45

5x = 45* 6

x = 270/5

x = 54

Miss Berk has 8 pairs of pajama pants and 3 pairs of slippers. Three pairs of the pajama pants are Harry Potter themed and one p
shusha [124]

The probability that both items will be Harry Potter themed is 1/8.

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

Total Number of pajama pants n(P) =8

Total number of slippers n(S)= 3

Number of Harry Potter themed Pajama pants n(H.P)=3

Number of Harry Potter themed slippers n(H.S)=1

We have to determine the probability of selecting pants and slippers that are both Harry Potter themed.

If two events A and B are independent, then the probability of A and B is given by

P(A and B)=P(A)*P(B)

Here the events selecting Harry potter themed pants and selecting harry Potter themed slippers are independent.

P(Harry\ Potter\ pants)=\frac{n(H.P)}{n(P)}

                                       =\frac{3}{8}

P(Harry\ Potter\ slippers)=\frac{n(H.S)}{n(S)} \\                                         =1/3

P(Harry\ Potter\ pants\ and\ Harry\ Potter\ slippers)=P(Harry Potter pants)\times P(Harry potter slippers)

=\frac{3}{8}\times  \frac{1}{3} =\frac{1}{8}

Hence probability of selecting Harry potter themed pants and Harry potter themed slippers is 1/8
