Answer: The correct answer is B) 21%

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a binomial model probability problem. We need to find the probability of 6 out of 10 new births at a hospital being boys. The information we need is the number of trials observed, the number of successes and the percentage chance you have of any birth being a boy. The number of trials are 10, with the number of successes being 6 (the number of trials we want to be boys) It states that 51% or 0.51 of all births in the US are boys so we can use this value to determine our answer using our binomial model formula. After simplifying we get our answer of 21% I hope this has been of use to you :)

Have a wonderful rest of your day!

SIZIF [17.4K]
To figure out this question, I first divided 24 into 3, which gives me an answer of 8. then I divided 52 into 7 , which also is 8 . because the two numbers are the same, I know the ratios are equivalent.

If cos(t) = 2/7 and t is in the 4th quadrant, find sin(t).
Yuliya22 [10]
We can use the Pythagorean Trigonometric Identity which says:
sin^2(t)+cos^2(t)=1

Since we need to find sin(t), we have to solve for it:
sin(t)= \sqrt{1-cos^2(t)}

Let's plug in the given cos(t) value:
sin(t) = \sqrt{1-cos^2( \frac{2}{7})}

And solve sin(t):
sin(t) = \sqrt{1- \frac{4}{49} } = \frac{x}{y} \sqrt{ \frac{49}{49}- \frac{4}{49} }

Simplify further:
sin(t) = \sqrt{ \frac{45}{49} } = \frac{ \sqrt{45} }{7} = \frac{ \sqrt{9*5} }{7}

And it all simplifies down to:
sin(t) = \frac{3 \sqrt{5} }{7}

Since it's in the 4th quadrant, the sin(t) value is going to be negative. So, your final answer is: 
sin(t) = - \frac{ 3\sqrt{5} }{7}

Hope this helps!

20 points<br> What is the linear function equation represented by the graph?
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

F(x) = 2/3x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

I found this out by first starting off with the equation, f(x) = mx + b. (b is the y intercept, m is the slope.) The y intercept, where the line passes through the y axis, is 3. (f(x) = mx + 3) Now, look at rise over run, and see that the slope is 2/3, since for every one it goes over, it goes up 2/3. your final equation is f(x) = 2/3x + 3

Fed [463]
*Hint: In order to find the coordinates, you plug in the coordinates into the rule and solve.

(x, y) → (x + 2, y - 8)
(4, -5) → (4 + 2, -5 - 8)
(6, -13)

The coordinates of B' is (6, -13).

sammy [17]

Answer:

Since we know the population deviation, is better apply a z test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:  

z=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}} (1)  

z-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".  

The best answer would be:

A. Z test

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation  

\bar X=36670 represent the mean average

\sigma=6362 represent the population standard deviation for the sample  

n=1225 sample size  

\mu_o =37100 represent the value that we want to test  

\alpha represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.  

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)  

p_v represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)  

State the null and alternative hypotheses.  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the mean is equal or not to 37100, the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:\mu =37100  

Alternative hypothesis:\mu \neq 37100  

Since we know the population deviation, is better apply a z test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:  

z=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}} (1)  

z-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".  

The best answer would be:

A. Z test
