A math teacher randomly selects one student in a class to write a probability question on a chalkboard. The teacher then randoml

y selects a different student to answer the probability question. There are 12 boys in the class, and the ratio of boys to girls is 2:3. Find the probability that the teacher selects a girl first and a girl second. Write your answer as a decimal rounded to the nearest thousandth.

Answer:

The probability that the teacher selects a girl first and a girl second is 0.352

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of boys in class = 12

let number of boys in class = 2x

number of girls in class = 3x

According to the question,

2x = 12

x = 6

So, number of girls = 3x = 3 × 6 = 18

Total number of students = 18 + 12 = 30

$Probabiltiy=\frac{Number\:of\:favorable\:outcome}{Number\:of\:Total\:outcome}$

Probability of selecting a girl first and second girl = $\frac{18}{30}\times\frac{17}{29}$

$=\frac{51}{145}=0.352\:(nearest\:thousandth)$

Therefore, The probability that the teacher selects a girl first and a girl second is 0.352

<h2>Answer:</h2>

Ques 1)

$g(x)=-12x+48$

Ques 2)

$g(x)=|3x|+4$

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

Ques 1)

We know that if a graph is stretched by a factor of a then the transformation if given by:

f(x) → a f(x)

Also, we know that the translation of a function k units to the right or to the left is given by:

f(x) → f(x+k)

where if k>0 then the shift is k units to the left

and if k<0 then the shift is k units to the right.

Here the graph of f(x) is transformed into the graph of g(x) by a vertical stretch of 4 units and a translation of 4 units right.

This means that the function g(x) is given by:

$g(x)=4f(x-4)\\\\i.e.\\\\g(x)=4(-3(x-4))\\\\i.e.\\\\g(x)=-12(x-4)\\\\i.e.\\\\g(x)=-12x+48$

Ques 2)

We know that the transformation of the type:

f(x) → f(x)+k

is a shift or translation of the function k units up or down depending on k.

If k>0 then the shift is k units up.

and if k<0 then the shift is k units down.

Here, The graph of the function f(x)=|3x| is translated 4 units up.

This means that the transformed function g(x) is given by:

$g(x)=|3x|+4$

Answer:

His 95% confidence interval is (0.065, 0.155).

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of $\pi$ , and a confidence level of $1-\alpha$ , we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

$\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of $1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}$ .

For this problem, we have that:

$n = 186, \pi = 0.11$

95% confidence level

So $\alpha = 0.05$ , z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of $1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975$ , so $Z = 1.96$ .

The lower limit of this interval is:

$\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.11 - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.11*0.89}{186}} = 0.065$

The upper limit of this interval is:

$\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.11 + 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.11*0.89}{186}} = 0.155$

His 95% confidence interval is (0.065, 0.155).
