In 2014, 85 percent of households in the United States had a computer. For a randomly selected sample of 200 households in 2014,

DochEvi [55]

Answer:

The mean of C is 170 households

The standard deviation of C, is approximately 5 households

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The percentage of households in the United States that had a computer in 2014 = 85%

The size of the randomly selected sample in 2014, n = 200

The random variable representing the number of households that had a computer = C

Therefore, we have;

The probability of a household having a computer P = 85/100 = 0.85

Let

Therefore;

The mean (expected) number in the sample, μₓ, = E(x) = n × P is given as follows;

μₓ = 200 × 0.85 = 170

The mean of C = μₓ = 170

The variance, σ² = n × P × (1 - P) = 200 × 0.85 × (1 - 0.85) = 25.5

Therefore;

The standard deviation, σ = √(σ²) = √(25.5) ≈ 5.05

The standard deviation of C, σ ≈ 5 households (we round (down) to the nearest whole number)

A rectangular portrait measures 50cm by 70cm. It is surrounded by a rectangular frame of uniform width. If the area of the frame

snow_tiger [21]

Let us assume uniform width = x cm wide.

Length of rectangular portrait = 50cm and width of rectangular portrait = 70cm.

Therefore, length of rectangle made by frame = 50 + x+x = (2x+50) cm.

And width of rectangle made by frame = 70+x+x = (2x+70) cm.

We know, the area of rectangular portrait = 50 × 70 = 3500 cm^2.

Total area of the rectangle made by frame would be = (2x+50) * (2x+70)

We know,

Actual area of frame = Area of rectangle made by frame - area of rectangular portrait.

We also given "the area of the frame is the same as the area of the portrait."

We can setup an equation now,

3500 = (2x+50) * (2x+70) - 3500.

Subtracting 3500 from both sides, we get

3500-3500 = (2x+50) * (2x+70) - 3500-3500.

0 = (2x+50) * (2x+70) -7000.

FOIL (2x+50) * (2x+70), we get

0 = 2x*2x +2x*70 + 50*2x +50*70 - 7000.

0 = 4x^2 +140x +100x +3500 -7000.

4x^2 +240x -3500 = 0.

Dividing whole equation by 4, we get

x^2 +60x - 875 =0

Applying quadratic formula $=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$ , we get

$=\frac{-60\pm \sqrt{60^2-4\cdot \:1\left(-875\right)}}{2\cdot \:1}$

$x=\frac{-60+\sqrt{60^2-4\cdot \:1\left(-875\right)}}{2\cdot \:1}=5\left(\sqrt{71}-6\right)$

$x=\frac{-60-\sqrt{60^2-4\cdot \:1\left(-875\right)}}{2\cdot \:1}:\quad -5\left(6+\sqrt{71}\right)$

We cant take negative value.

So, $x=5\left(\sqrt{71}-6\right)=12.13$

We could take approximately 12 cm.

Identify whether the series summation of 12 open parentheses 3 over 5 close parentheses to the I minus 1 power from 1 to infinit

Finger [1]

∑ from 1 to infinity of 12(3/5)^(i - 1)
Since the common ratio is less than 1, the series is convegent. [i.e. 3/5 < 1]

Sum to infinity of a geometric series is given by a/(1 - r); where a is the first term, and r is the common ratio.

Sum = 12/(1 - 3/5) = 12/(2/5) = 30.

Grandma is trying out a new recipe for raisin bread. Each batch of bread dough makes three loaves, and each loaf contains 15 sli

Tom [10]

Answer:

0.108

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the poisson probability process :

Where :

P(x =x) = (e^-λ * λ^x) ÷ x!

Given that :

Each batch of bread = 3 loaves

Each loaf = 15 slices

Total slice per batch = 15 * 3 = 45 slices

Number of raising added = 100

Average number of raisin per slice, λ = 100/45 = 20/9

Hence,

Probability that a randomly chosen slice has no raising :

P(x = 0) = (e^-λ * λ^x) ÷ x!

P(x = 0) = (e^-(100/45) * (100/45)^0) ÷ 0!

P(x = 0) = (0.1083680 * 1) / 1

P(x = 0) = 0.108
