Answer:

"Spin the spinner 5 times with 4 equal segments. One of the segment represents vanilla on either the spinner as well as three parts reflect certain flavors" would be the right answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The actual probability of the given scenario will be:

⇒  (1-\frac{1}{4})^5

⇒  (1-0.25)^5

⇒  (0.75)^5

On solving the power, we get

⇒  (0.237304)

Now on multiplying the above value in 100, we get

⇒  23.73%

Approximately 23.73% chance vanilla was not chosen by either of the five. So that the above is the right answer.

Nataly [62]

Answer:

b. The values X and Y are independent therefore, the mean is 34 seconds and the standard deviation is 50 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtraction between normal variables:

When two normal variables are subtracted, the mean is the difference of the means, while the standard deviation is the square root of the sum of the variances.

Before the training, the mean running time for the students to run a mile was 402 seconds with standard deviation 40 seconds.

This means that \mu_X = 402, \sigma_X = 40

After completing the program, the mean running time for the students to run a mile was 368 seconds with standard deviation 30 seconds.

This means that \mu_Y = 368, \sigma_Y = 30

Which of the following is true about the distribution of X-Y?

They are independent, so:

\mu = \mu_X - \mu_Y = 402 - 368 = 34

\sigma = \sqrt{\sigma_X^2+\sigma_Y^2} = \sqrt{40^2+30^2} = 50

This means that the correct answer is given by option b.

Use the values on the number line to find the sampling error.
pantera1 [17]
Part 1:

Given a number line with the point \bar{x}=3.8 and the point \mu=4.27

The sampling error is given by:

\bar{x}-\mu=3.8-4.27=-0.47



Part 2:

Given a number line with the point \bar{x}=26.43 and the point \mu=24.67

The sampling error is given by:

\bar{x}-\mu=26.43-24.67=1.76

marissa [1.9K]

Given

jacinta buys 4 pounds of turkey and 2 pounds of ham & pays a total of $30, turkey costs $1.50 less per pound than the ham.

find out the combined cost of 1 pound of turkey and 1 pound of ham

To proof

As given in the question

jacinta buys 4 pounds of turkey and 2 pounds of ham

total pay by jacinta = $30

let us assume that the price of the ham = x

as given in the question

turkey costs $1.50 less per pound than the ham

turkey costs becomes = x - 1.50

then the equation becomes

30 = 4 (x - 1.50) + 2x

30 = 4x + 2x - 6

36 = 6x

x = 6

thus

ham cost per pound = $6

turkey cost per pound = 6 - 1.50

                                    = $ 4.5

Now find out

cost of 1 pound of turkey + 1 pound of ham = $ 6 + $ 4.5

                                                                       = $ 10.5

Hence proved

brilliants [131]

Answer:

a) Calculate the probability that at least one of them suffers from arachnophobia.

x = number of students suffering from arachnophobia

= P(x ≥ 1)

= 1 - P(x = 0)

= 1 - [0.05⁰ x (1 - 0.05)¹¹⁻⁰ ]

= 1 - (0.95)¹¹

= 0.4311999 = 0.4312

b) Calculate the probability that exactly 2 of them suffer from arachnophobia? 0.08666

=  P(x = 2)

=  (¹¹₂) x (0.05)² x (0.95)⁹

where ¹¹₂ = 11! / (2!9!) = (11 x 10) / (2 x 1) = 55

= 55 x 0.0025 x 0.630249409 = 0.086659293 = 0.0867

c) Calculate the probability that at most 1 of them suffers from arachnophobia?

P(x ≤ 1)

= P(x = 0) + P(x = 1)    

= [(¹¹₀) x 0.05⁰ x 0.95¹¹] + [(¹¹₁) x 0.05¹ x 0.95¹⁰]

= (1 x 1 x 0.5688) + (11 x 0.05 x 0.598736939) = 0.5688 + 0.3293 = 0.8981
