Suppose that 50% of all babies born in a particular hospital are boys. If 6 babies born in the hospital are randomly selected, what is the probability that fewer than 3 of them are boys?

Answers

Answer 1

Using the binomial distribution, it is found that there is a 0.3438 = 34.38% probability that fewer than 3 of them are boys.

What is the binomial distribution formula?

The formula is:

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

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

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.

In this problem, the values of the parameters are given as follows:

n = 6, p = 0.5.

The probability that fewer than 3 of them are boys is given by:

[tex]P(X < 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2)[/tex]

In which:

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

[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{6,0}.(0.5)^{0}.(0.5)^{6} = 0.0156[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 1) = C_{6,1}.(0.5)^{1}.(0.5)^{5} = 0.0938[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 2) = C_{6,2}.(0.5)^{2}.(0.5)^{4} = 0.2344[/tex]

Then:

[tex]P(X < 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) = 0.0156 + 0.0938 + 0.2344 = 0.3438[/tex]

0.3438 = 34.38% probability that fewer than 3 of them are boys.

Find the slope rise/run

Answers

Answer:

m = -1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Find two points in order to calculate slope:

(0, 2) (3, 1)

Slope (m) =

ΔY /ΔX= -1/ 3= -0.33333333333333

( ΔX = 3 – 0 = 3ΔY = 1 – 2 = -1 )

Slope intercept:

y = -0.33333333333333x + 2

Answer:

Slope = - 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Choose the point on the right and move upwards. How many times did you move upwards until you were at the same level as the point on the left? You moved once, which means your rise is 1.

Now from the point where you are at now, move right or left depending on where the point is. In this case, it's on the left which means our run will be negative. Now move left until you reach that point on the left. How many times did you move left? You moved three times, which means your run is 3.

Rise/Run = -1/3

Slope = Rise/Run

Slope: - 1/3

Answers

Answer: x = -28

Step-by-Step Explanation:

3(2x + 12) = 2(2x - 10)
3 * 2x + 3 * 12 = 2 * 2x - 2 * 10
6x + 36 = 2 * 2x - 2 * 10
6x + 36 = 4x - 20
6x - 4x + 36 = -20
2x + 36 = -20
2x = -20 - 36
2x = -56
x = -56/2
=> x = -28

Therefore, x = -28

Expand and simplify: (-7y - 8) (y - 4)

Answers

Simplification

Expand and simplify: (-7y - 8) (y - 4)

To expand an expression, use FOIL method.

F - First

Multiply the first term in each expression inside the parentheses.

-7y and y are the first terms in each expression.

(-7y)(y) = -7y²

O - Outside

Next is to multiply the terms outside. (The first term in the first expression and the last term in the second expression)

-7y is the first term in the first expression

-4 is the last term of the second expression

(-7y)(-4) = 28y

I - Inside

The next step is to multiply the terms inside. (The last term in the first expression and the first term in the last expression)

-8 is the last term in the first expression

y is the first term in the second expression

(-8)(y) = -8y

L - Last

Last step is to multiply the last term in each expression.

-8 is the last term of the first expression

-4 is the last term of the second expression

(-8)(-4) = 32

Combine all simplified terms.

-7y² + 28y - 8y + 32-7y + 20y + 32

Teams with varying numbers of players are playing a group card game. the time taken by each team to complete one game is given in the table. What is the relationship between the two variables?

Numbers of players on team are going to be 1, 2 , 3, 4, 5.

time taken to complete game (in minutes) 32, 26, 20, 14, 8

(Select the correct answer)

A. Positive linear association

B. Exponential relationship

C. Negative linear association

D. No relationship

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step-by-step explanation:

Lower x values (numbers of players on team) are correlated with higher y values (time taken to complete game)

[note: I know which values are x and y because of a cause-and-effect relationship. x causes y. number of players causes a change in minutes {it wouldn't make sense for the number of time it took to cause the number of players} ]

So, if we were to graph this relationship, we would see a downward-slope / negative slope of a line, because greater x-values are associated with lower y-values.

So, you would see a negative line, showing a negative linear association.

It’s been a while since I did Math but, in most scenarios, when you solve for an equation with only 1 x variable and you substitute it back in, it should always be true and equal the answer in the original equation(?).
For this equation, the answer was x=7, but when I substitute it back in, I was unable to get the original solution back, which means it is “no solution” after all.
Why is that?

Answers

Let's replace every copy of x with 7 and simplify.

[tex]\sqrt{5x+1}+9 = 3\\\\\sqrt{5*7+1}+9 = 3\\\\\sqrt{35+1}+9 = 3\\\\\sqrt{36}+9 = 3\\\\6+9 = 3 \ \text{ .... note the 6 on the left isn't negative}\\\\15 = 3\\\\[/tex]

Which is clearly false. This is probably the set of steps you followed to get "no solution".

Why is there no solution? Well let's subtract 9 from both sides to isolate the square root

[tex]\sqrt{5x+1}+9 = 3\\\\\sqrt{5x+1}+9-9 = 3-9\\\\\sqrt{5x+1} = -6\\\\[/tex]

Recall that the result of a square root operation is never negative. The range of [tex]y = \sqrt{x}[/tex] and [tex]y = \sqrt{5x+1}[/tex] is the set of nonnegative numbers. There is no way we can have the left hand side result in -6

If there was a negative sign out front the square root and we have this instead

[tex]-\sqrt{5x+1}+9 = 3\\\\[/tex]

then the answer would be x = 7

Unfortunately, there isn't such a negative sign, so we stick with "no solutions".

Find sin A for the triangle below. Give the exact value as an expression and an approximation to the nearest ten-thousandth. Note: The triangle is not drawn to scale.

Answers

the exact value of sin A  to the nearest ten- thousandth is 0. 6625

Using the pythagorean theorem

a² + b² = c²

The opposite side is unknown, so use the pythagorean theorem to find it

c = hypotenuse = 4

a= opposite site = ?

b= adjacent side = 3

Substitute into the formula

4² = a² + 3²

16 = a² + 9

a² = 16 -9 = 7

Find the square root

a =√7 = 2. 65

To find Sin A, use

Sin A = opposite side ÷ hypotenuse

Sin A = 2. 65 ÷ 4 = 0. 6625

Thus,  the value of sin A is 0. 6625

Which statement best describes the difference of the mean of the two data sets?

Answers

statement best describes the difference of the mean of the two data sets 2.8 is about 1.5 times the mean absolute deviation of either set.

What is mean?

Mean is the average of the given numbers and is calculated by dividing the sum of given numbers by the total number of numbers.

The mean of William's set.

To find the mean, add all of the data points together and divide by the number of data points:

=89+90+97+74+78/5

=85.6

Now, mean absolute deviation,

=|89-85.6|+|90-85.6|+|97-85.6|+|74-85.6|+|78-85.6|/5

= 3.4+4.4+11.4+11.6+7.6/5

=7.68.

The mean of Andre's set.

To find the mean, add all of the data points together and divide by the number of data points:

=73+81+87+91+82/5

=82.8

Now, mean absolute deviation,

=|73-82.8|+|81-82.8|+|87-82.8|+|91-82.8|+|82-82.8|/5

=9.8+1.8+4.2+8.2+0.8/5

= 4.96.

Hence, the difference between the means of the two sets is

85.6-82.8=2.8.

2.8 is about 1.5 times the mean absolute deviation of either set.
