Okay so probability is just percentage of a whole, right?

So you have 14 White Eggs + 15 Brown Eggs + 11 Lemons.

Add all those numbers together and you get your whole.

14 + 15 = 29    29+11 = 40

40 is your whole. 

So because you want to know how likely it is to pick up an egg, you would follow these steps.

100/40 = 2.5 (For each part of the 40, it is worth 2.5 percent.)

2.5 x 29 = 72.5

Your probability of picking an egg out of the bask is 72.5 percent or 72.5 out of 100.

Answer:

The exact probability that Taylor picks an egg from the basket is 29/40

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a basket containing 14 white eggs, 15 brown eggs, and 11 lemons.

The total objects we have are: 14 + 15 + 11 = 40. It means Total posibilities are T = 40.

Taylor is in a hurry to make breakfast and she picks something from the basket randomly. We need to calculate the probability she picks an egg.

The basket contains two types of eggs: brown and white. So, eggs are the sum of both 14 + 15 = 29. It means favorable possibilities F = 29.

Now we can calculate the probability as the relationship between favorable possibilities and total possibilities.

P = F/T = 29/40.

Finally, we can conclude that the exact probability that Taylor picks an egg from the basket is 29/40.

According to Net Market Share, Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser has 53.4% of the global market. A random sample of 70 users
Natalija [7]

Answer:

Probability that 32 or more from this sample used Internet Explorer as their browser is 0.9015.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that according to Net Market Share, Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser has 53.4% of the global market.

A random sample of 70 users was selected.

Let \hat p = <u><em>sample proportion of users who used Internet Explorer as their browser.</em></u>

The z score probability distribution for sample proportion is given by;

                            Z  =  \frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }  ~ N(0,1)

where, p = population proportion of users who use internet explorer = 53.4%

           \hat p = sample proportion = \frac{32}{70} = 0.457

           n = sample of users = 70

Now, probability that 32 or more from this sample used Internet Explorer as their browser is given by = P( \hat p \geq 0.457)

      P( \hat p \geq 0.457) = P( \frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } } \geq \frac{0.457-0.534}{\sqrt{\frac{0.457(1-0.457)}{70} } } ) = P(Z \geq -1.29)

                            = P(Z \leq 1.29) = <u>0.9015</u>

The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 1.29 in the z table which has an area of 0.9015.

Byron has 1 7/10 kilograms of black pepper. He uses 7/8 of the black pepper and splits between 7 pepper shakers. How much pepper
IrinaVladis [17]
Amount of black pepper = 1 7/10 kg = 17/10 kg.
Amount used is
(7/8)*(17/10) = 119/80 kg

This amount is split between 7 shakers. Each shaker has
(119/80)/7 = 17/80 kg = 0.2125 kg

Answer: 17/80 kg (or  0.2125 kg)

Most US adults have social ties with a large number of people, including friends, family, co-workers, and other acquaintances. I
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

t=\frac{669-634}{\frac{732}{\sqrt{1700}}}=1.971    

p_v =2*P(t_{(1699)}>1.971)=0.049  

If we compare the p value and the significance level given \alpha=0.1 we see that p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, so we can conclude that the true mean is different from 634 at 10% of signficance.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation  

\bar X=669 represent the sample mean

s=732 represent the sample standard deviation

n=1700 sample size  

\mu_o =68 represent the value that we want to test

\alpha=0. represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.  

t 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 different from 634, the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:\mu = 634  

Alternative hypothesis:\mu \neq 634  

If we analyze the size for the sample is > 30 but we don't know the population deviation so is better apply a t test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:  

t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}  (1)  

t-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".  

Calculate the statistic

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:  

t=\frac{669-634}{\frac{732}{\sqrt{1700}}}=1.971    

P-value

The first step is calculate the degrees of freedom, on this case:  

df=n-1=1700-1=1699  

Since is a two sided test the p value would be:  

p_v =2*P(t_{(1699)}>1.971)=0.049  

Conclusion  

If we compare the p value and the significance level given \alpha=0.1 we see that p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, so we can conclude that the true mean is different from 634 at 10% of signficance.

AT&amp;T has a family plan of four lines for $125 and additional lines are $15 each per month. If Jason wants to spend at most $
denis-greek [22]

Given:

Cost of four lines = $125

Cost of each additional line = $15

Jason wants to spend at most $200 per month on cell phone expenses.

To find:

The inequality for the given situation.

Solution:

Let x be the number of additional line.

Cost of one additional line = $15

Cost of x additional line = \$15x

Total cost = Fixed cost + Addition cost

                = 125+15x

It is given that Jason wants to spend at most $200 per month on cell phone expenses. It means the total cost must be less than or equal to 200.

125+15x\leq 200

Therefore, the correct option is C.
