There are 20 students in sixth grade

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Find the number of sixth-graders in the school.

Total number of students = 90

Number of sixth-graders = 2/9 of total students

⇒ Number of 6th graders = 2/9 × 90 = 20 students

Brett plays an acoustic guitar at an event for $500. At the end of the event, the sponsor tips him 20%. How much does Brett make

Blababa [14]

Brett makes $510

First you’ll have to multiply $500 by 0.020 (you have to convert 20%) and you’ll get 10. You then add the 10 to 500 to get $510

Len [333]

This item can be answered through the concept of fundamental principles of counting. In the first of the four digits, there are 10 possible digits. The same with all the other 3 places or digits of the code. That is,
n = 10 x 10 x 10 x 10
Giving us the answer of 10,000. Thus, there are 10,000 possible keys for the keyless entry.

The random variable x is said to have the yule simon distribution if

balu736 [363]

The Yule-Simon distribution is a discrete probability distribution. It is named after Udny Yule and Herbert A. Simon.

The Yule–Simon distribution was originally created by Yule as a limiting distribution model for a particular stochastic process, called the "Yule process" or the "preferential attachment process," in his study of the distribution of biological taxa and subtaxa.

The random variable X is said to have the Yule-Simon distribution if

P (X=k) = <u> 4 </u> where k = 1,2,...<u>
</u> k (k+1)(k+2)

The following histogram shows the relative frequencies of the heights, recorded to the nearest inch, of a population of women. T

Airida [17]

Answer:

The following histogram shows the relative frequencies of the height recorded to the nearest inch of population of women the mean of the population is 64.97 inches and the standard deviation is 2.66 inches

(a) Based on the histogram, what is the probability that the selected woman will have a height of at least 67 inches? Show your work

Answer:

0.22268

Step-by-step explanation:

z-score is z = (x-μ)/σ,

where x is the raw score

μ is the population mean

σ is the population standard deviation.

(a) Based on the histogram, what is the probability that the selected woman will have a height of at least 67 inches? Show your work

At least means equal to or greater than 67 inches

z = 67 - 64.97/2.66

z = 0.76316

P-value from Z-Table:

P(x<67) = 0.77732

P(x>67) = 1 - P(x<67) = 0.22268

The probability that the selected woman will have a height of at least 67 inches is 0.22268

In your sock drawer you have 5 blue, 7 gray, and 2 black socks. Half asleep one morning you grab 2 socks at random and put them

pentagon [3]

The question is incomplete! The complete question along with answers and explanation is provided below!

In your sock drawer you have 5 blue, 7 gray, and 2 black socks. Half asleep one morning you grab 2 socks at random and put them on. Find the probability you end up wearing the following socks. (Round your answers to four decimal places.)

a) 2 blue socks

b) no gray socks

c) at least 1 black sock

d) a green sock

e) matching socks

Answer:

a) P(2 blue socks) = 0.1099 = 10.99%

b) P(no gray socks) = 0.2307 = 23.07%

c) P(at least 1 Black sock) = 0.2748 = 27.48%

d) P(green sock) = 0%

e) P(Matching socks) = 0.3516 = 35.16%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Information:

5 Blue socks

7 Gray socks

2 black socks

Total socks = 5 + 7 + 2 = 14

a) The probability of wearing 2 blue socks

P(2 blue socks) = P(B1 and B2)

P(B1) = no. of blue socks/total no. of socks

P(B1) = 5/14 = 0.3571

Now there are 4 blue socks remaining and total 13 socks remaining

P(B2|B1) = 4/13 = 0.3077

P(B1 and B2) = 0.3571*0.3077 = 0.1099 = 10.99%

b) The probability of wearing no gray socks

5 Blue socks + 2 black socks = 7 socks are not gray

P(no gray socks) = P(Not G1 and Not G2)

P(Not G1) = no. socks that are not grey/ total no. of socks

P(Not G1) = 7/14 = 0.5

Now there are 6 socks remaining that are not gray and total 13 socks remaining

P(Not G2 | Not G1) = 6/13 = 0.4615

P(Not G1 and Not G2) = 0.5*0.4615 = 0.2307 = 23.07%

c) The probability of wearing at least 1 black sock

5 Blue socks + 7 Gray socks = 12 socks are not black

P(at least 1 Black) = 1 - P(Not B1 and Not B2)

P(Not B1) = no. socks that are not black/ total no. of socks

P(Not B1) = 12/14 = 0.8571

Now there are 11 socks remaining that are not black and total 13 socks remaining

P(Not B2 | Not B1) = 11/13 = 0.8461

P( Not B1 and Not B2) = 0.8571*0.8461 = 0.7252

P(at least 1 Black) = 1 - P( Not B1 and Not B2)

P(at least 1 Black) = 1 - 0.7252 = 0.2748 = 27.48%

d) The probability of wearing a green sock

There are 0 green socks, therefore

P(Green) = 0/14 = 0%

e) The probability of wearing matching socks

P(Matching socks) = P(2 Blue socks) + P(2 Gray socks) + P(2 Black socks)

P(2 Blue socks) already calculated in part a

P(2 Blue socks) = P(B1 and B2) = 0.1099

For Gray socks

P(G1) = no. of gray socks/ total no. of socks

P(G1) = 7/14 = 0.5

Now there are 6 gray socks remaining and total 13 socks remaining

P(G2 | G1) = 6/13 = 0.4615

P(2 Gray socks) = P(G1 and G2) = 0.5*0.4615 = 0.2307

For Black socks

P(B1) = no. of black socks/ total no. of socks

P(B1) = 2/14 = 0.1428

Now there is 1 black sock remaining and total 13 socks remaining

P(B2 | B1) = 1/13 = 0.0769

P(2 Black socks) = P(B1 and B2) = 0.1428*0.0769 = 0.0110

P(Matching socks) = P(2 Blue socks) + P(2 Gray socks) + P(2 Black socks)

P(Matching socks) = 0.1099 + 0.2307 + 0.0110 = 0.3516 = 35.16%
