on a nearby pond, black and white ducks are swimming in groups of three. James wants to find the experimental probability of two

white ducks one black duck swimming together. design a simulation using a coin flip and explain why it is the best choice for james

<span>There are only two choices, a black or white duck, so a coin is the best choice. To represent a set of possible outcomes, toss the coin three times. Repeat the experiment multiple times. To find the probability, divide the observed desired outcomes by the total number of trials.</span>

Solution:

Total number of Ducks = 3 Black + 3 White = 6 Ducks

Total Favorable Outcome = 2 White + 1 Black

Total Possible Outcome = Selecting 3 Ducks (2 White +1 Black) from 6 Ducks

Formula to Calculate Probability

= $\frac{\text{Total Favorable Outcome}}{\text{Total Possible Outcome}}$

Use ,C(n,r)= $\frac{n!}{(n-r)!r!}$

Probability of two white ducks one black duck swimming together

= $\frac{_{2}^{3}\textrm{C}\times_{1}^{3}\textrm{C}}{_{3}^{6}\textrm{C}}=\frac{9}{20}$

Simulation Using Coin Flip

H→White duck, T→Black Duck

HHH→Three White Ducks Sailing together

TTT→Three black ducks Sailing together

HHT→Two white duck and a Black Duck sailing together

HTH→Two white duck and a Black Duck sailing together

THH→Two white duck and a Black Duck sailing together

TTH→Two Black duck and a White Duck sailing together

THT→Two Black duck and a White Duck sailing together

HTT→Two Black duck and a White Duck sailing together

Other than coin which is used here for simulation, you can use Two different colored balls each being three in number.

What’s the angle it’s looking for ?

Law Incorporation [45]

Given:

m(ar KN) = 2x + 151

m(ar LN) = 61°

m∠NMK = 2x + 45

To find:

m∠NMK

Solution:

By property of circle:

<em>If a tangent and a secant intersect outside a circle, then the measure of the angle formed is one-half the positive difference of the measures of the intercepted arcs.</em>

$$\Rightarrow m\angle NMK=\frac{1}{2} (m \ ar(KN) - m\ arLN))$

$$\Rightarrow 2x+45=\frac{1}{2} (2x + 151-61)$

$$\Rightarrow 2x+45=\frac{1}{2} (2x + 90)$

Multiply by 2 on both sides, we get

$$\Rightarrow 2\times (2x+45)=2\times \frac{1}{2} (2x + 90)$

$$\Rightarrow 4x+90=2x + 90$

Subtract 90 from both sides.

$$\Rightarrow 4x+90-90=2x + 90-90$

$$\Rightarrow 4x=2x$

Subtract 2x from both sides.

$$\Rightarrow 4x-2x=2x-2x$

$$\Rightarrow 2x=0$

$$\Rightarrow x=0$

Substitute x= 0 in m∠NMK.

m∠NMK = 2x + 45

= 2(0) + 45

= 45

Therefore m∠NMK = 45.

a woman is looking for a bigger square office. she finds an office twice the area of her square office. if the perimeter is 88ft

UNO [17]

Answer:

Option C is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of current office = 88 ft

We have perimeter = 4a , where a is the side of square.

Equating

4a = 88

a = 22 sqft

Area of current office = a x a = 22 x 22 = 484 square feet.

Area of new office is twice the area of current office.

Area of new office = 2 x 484 = 968 square feet.

Option C is the correct answer.

6.5% of people in the U.S. Have A- blood type. You randomly select 6 Americans and ask them if their blood type is A-. a) Find t

Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

a) 7.54189*10^-8

b) 0.99999999

c) E ( X ) = 0.39 , s ( X ) = 0.604

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:-

- We will assume the proportion of people with A- blood group is independent and remains constant for a fairly small sample of n = 6 Americans selected at random.

- We will denote a random variable X = The number of americans out of 6 that have blood group type A-.

- The random variable is assumed to follow binomial distribution.

- The probability of success is the proportion of people in U.S that have blood group type A-, p = 0.065:

X ~ Bin ( 6 , 0.065 )

Where, r represents the number of americans out of selected 6 have blood group A-. The pmf of a binomial variate is given as:

P ( X = r ) = nCr * ( p ) ^r * ( 1 - p ) ^ ( n - r )

a) Find the probability that all 6 are type A-

- We will pmf given above and set r = 6. And evaluate the resulting probability:

P ( X = 6 ) = 6C6 * ( p )^6 * ( 1 - p ) ^ ( 0 )

= p^6

= ( 0.065 )^6

= 7.54189*10^-8

b) Find the probability that at most 4 of them are type A-

- We will pmf given above and evaluate the following expression:

P ( X ≤ 4 ) = 1 - P ( X = 5 ) - P ( X = 6 )

P ( X ≤ 4 ) = 1 - 6C5 * ( p )^5 * ( 1 - p ) ^ ( 1 ) - p^6

= 1 - 6*(0.065)^5 ( 0.935 ) - 0.065^6

= 1 - 6.50923*10^-8 - 7.54189*10^-8

= 0.99999999

c) Find the mean and standard deviation.

- The mean E ( X ) of the defined random variable distributed binomially is given by:

E ( X ) = n*p = 6*0.065 = 0.39 people

- The mean s( X ) of the defined random variable distributed binomially is given by:

s ( X ) = √n*p*q = √(6*0.065*0.935) = 0.604

Describe how you regroup when you find the sum of 64+43

damaskus [11]

Here, regrouping is basically carrying.

64+43 shown vertically would be:

64
+43
-------
107
4+3 is 7, so seven is in the ones place, but that's not the point.
60+40 is 100, so you regroup by carrying the one to the hundreds place.

Hope I helped!
