Answer:

The number of 7th students on the Jackson Middle School basketball teams is 17 and the number of 8th students on the Jackson Middle School basketball teams is 36

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the number of 7th students on the Jackson Middle School basketball teams

y ----> the number of 8th students on the Jackson Middle School basketball teams

we know that

There are 53 students on the Jackson Middle School basketball teams

so

x+y=53 -----> equation A

The number of 8th graders is 15 fewer than three times the number of 7th graders

so

y=3x-15 ----> equation B

substitute equation B in equation A

x+(3x-15)=53

solve for x

x+3x=53+15\\4x=68\\x=17

Find the value of y

y=3(17)-15=36

therefore

The number of 7th students on the Jackson Middle School basketball teams is 17 and the number of 8th students on the Jackson Middle School basketball teams is 36

Kelvin and Lewie each design surveys in order to determine the average number of people who buy food at the mall. Kelvin surveys
Lisa [10]

Answer:

Lewie Survey produces less valid result.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

1. Kelvin surveys every other person leaving the food area.

2. Lewie surveys every fifth person leaving the mall's main entrance.

Therefore,

Kelvin will able to produce valid result as he is surveying every person who is leaving food court.

Means,

There are high chances that would have bought food from the court.

Whereas,

Lewie is surveying every fifth person leaving the the mall's entrance.

Therefore,

Here probability to produce valid result is less as they may have not buy food or they may visited other shops.

So, Lewie survey will produce less valid result.

Approximately 80,000 marriages took place in the state of New York last year. Estimate the probability that for at least one of
sasho [114]

Answer:

a)0,45119

b)1

Step-by-step explanation:

For part A of the problem we must first find the probability that both people in the couple have the same birthday (April 30)

P=\frac{1}{365} *\frac{1}{365}=\frac{1}{133225} \\

Now the poisson approximation is used

λ=nP=80000*1/133225=0,6

Now, let X be the number of couples that birth April 30

P(X ≥ 1) =

1 − P(X = 0) =

1-\frac{(e^-0.6)*(-0,6)^{0} }{0!}

P(X ≥ 1) = 0,45119

B)  Now want to find the

probability that both partners celebrated their birthday on th, assuming that the year is 52 weeks and therefore 52 thursday

P=52*\frac{1}{365} *\frac{1}{365}=\frac{52}{133225} \\

Now the poisson approximation is used

λ=nP=80000*52/133225=31.225

Now, let X be the number of couples that birth same day

P(X ≥ 1) =

1 − P(X = 0) =

1-\frac{(e^-31.225)*(-31.225)^{0} }{0!}

P(X ≥ 1) = 1

Suppose that the ages of members in a large billiards league have a known standard deviation of σ = 12 σ=12sigma, equals, 12 yea
asambeis [7]

Answer:

n\geq 23

Step-by-step explanation:

-For a known standard deviation, the sample size for a desired margin of error is calculated using the formula:

n\geq (\frac{z\sigma}{ME})^2

Where:

  • \sigma is the standard deviation
  • ME is the desired margin of error.

We substitute our given values to calculate the sample size:

n\geq (\frac{z\sigma}{ME})^2\\\\\geq (\frac{1.96\times 12}{5})^2\\\\\geq 22.13\approx23

Hence, the smallest desired sample size is 23
