The length of the shorter leg is √2

<h3>Pythagoras theroem</h3>

To get the length of the shorter leg, we will use the Pythagoras theorem. According to the theorem:

hyp^2 = opp^2 + adj^2

Given the following

Hyp = √4

Opposite = √2

Required

Adjacent side

Substitute into the formula

(√4 )^2 = 2 + adj^2

4 - 2  = adj^2

adj^2 = 2

adj = √2

Hence the length of the shorter leg is √2

At a university, 12% of students smoke. Calculate the expected number of smokers in a random sample of 140 students from this un
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

a) The expected number of smokers in a random sample of 140 students from this university is 16.8 smokers.

b) No, it is unlikely that smoking habits and waking up early to go to the gym on Saturday are independent.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the expected numbers of smokers in a sample with size n=140 and proportion p=12%, we use the expected value of the binomial distribution:

E(x)=n\cdot p=140\cdot 0.12=16.8

The expected number of smokers in a random sample of 140 students from this university is 16.8 smokers.

If we take a sample at the opening of the gym, the sample is not expected to be representative of the population of the students. Most of the students that go to the gym usually have healthy habits, so the proportions of smokers is expected to be lower than the average of the university population.
