If the likelihood of boys being born is 56%, then the complement of that is the likelihood of girls being born which is 100% - 56% = 44%.
Since we are given that of the baby girls born, 12% are premature, the probability of a premature baby girl  being born is:
(0.44)(0.12) = 0.0528 or 5.28%
The closest answer is the FIRST OPTION (5%).

What is 6 ones 7 hundredths -2.3
zmey [24]

6 ones 7 hundredths -2.3

We make a place chart for 6 ones 7 hundredths. We write 0 in the remaining place value.

Hundred     tens    Ones   point     tenths     hundredths       thousandths

  0                0          6            .             0             7                             0

6 one 7 hundredths is 6.07

Now subtract 2.3 from 6.07

6.07 - 2.3 = 3.77

Answer : 3.77

6.In a sample of 131 women with cosmetic dermatitis from using eye shadow, 12 were diagnosed with a nickel allergy. In a sample
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

a) 0.0916 - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.0916(1-0.0916)}{131}}=0.0422

0.0916 + 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.0916(1-0.0916)}{131}}=0.1410

So then we can conclude that the true proportion of women with cosmetic dermatitis from using eye shadow at 95% of confidence is between (0.0422 and 0.1410)

b) \hat p = \frac{25}{250}= 0.1

0.1 - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.1(1-0.1)}{250}}=0.0628

0.1 + 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.1(1-0.1)}{250}}=0.1372

So then we can conclude that the true proportion of women with cosmetic dermatitis from using mascara at 95% of confidence is between (0.0628 and 0.1372)

c) For this case we see that both confidence intervals contains the value of 0.12 so then we can't conclude that only one group is referenced at the significance level of 0.05 used.

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a

The estimated proportion of women with cosmetic dermatitis from using eye shadow is given by:

\hat p =\frac{12}{131}= 0.0916

The confidence  interval is at 95% of confidence, our significance level would be given by \alpha=1-0.95=0.05 and \alpha/2 =0.025. And the critical value would be given by:

z_{\alpha/2}=-1.96, z_{1-\alpha/2}=1.96

The confidence interval for the proportion is given by the following formula:  

\hat p \pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}

Replacing we got:

0.0916 - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.0916(1-0.0916)}{131}}=0.0422

0.0916 + 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.0916(1-0.0916)}{131}}=0.1410

So then we can conclude that the true proportion of women with cosmetic dermatitis from using eye shadow at 95% of confidence is between (0.0422 and 0.1410)

Part b: A 95% confidence interval for the women with cosmetic dermatitis from using mascara

\hat p = \frac{25}{250}= 0.1

0.1 - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.1(1-0.1)}{250}}=0.0628

0.1 + 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.1(1-0.1)}{250}}=0.1372

So then we can conclude that the true proportion of women with cosmetic dermatitis from using mascara at 95% of confidence is between (0.0628 and 0.1372)

Part c: Suppose you are informed that the true proportion with a nickel allergy for one of the two groups (eye shadow or mascara) is .12. Can you determine which group is referenced? Explain.

For this case we see that both confidence intervals contains the value of 0.12 so then we can't conclude that only one group is referenced at the significance level of 0.05 used.

Ethan and Leo start riding their bikes at the opposite ends of a 65-mile bike path. After Ethan has ridden 1.5 hours and Leo has
Ksenya-84 [330]

let Leo's speed = x mile/hr

so Ethan speed = (x + 6) miles per hour

Distance = Speed × Time

so distance traveled by Leo in 2 hours = x × 2 = 2x

and distance traveled by Ethan in 1.5 hours = 1.5( x + 6 ) = 1.5x + 9

since  they meet on the path , After Ethan has ridden 1.5 hours and Leo has ridden 2 hours , so together the have traveled on complete path that is 65 miles.

⇒  distance traveled by leo in 2 hours + distance traveled by Ethan in 1.5 hours = 65

⇒  2x + 1.5x + 9 = 65

⇒ 3.5x = 56

⇒ x = 16

Hence Leo's speed = x miles/hr = 16 miles/hour

and Ethan's speed = (x + 6) miles/hr = 16 +6 = 22 mile/hour
