If you have a stack of pennies without counting them how do you know if there is an even or odd number of them

If I have a stack of pennies. And I have to tell that without counting whether there are even number of pennies or odd.

Even numbers are the numbers which are divisible by 2 and odd numbers are the numbers which are not divisible by 2.

Then I will put the given pennies in 2 rows and then I will match them to form a pair of 2 pennies. After matching, if there is 1 penny left over, then there is an odd number of pennies and if all the pennies have a match,then there is an even number of pennies.

A television sports commentator wants to estimate the proportion of citizens who "follow professional football." Complete parts

masha68 [24]

Answer:

626 and 654

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a television sports commentator wants to estimate the proportion of citizens who "follow professional football."

Part I:

p = 0.48

$q=1-p = 0.52\\se = \sqrt{\frac{pq}{n} } \\\frac{0.4996}{\sqrt{n} } =$

Margin of error = $2.045*\frac{0.4996}{\sqrt{n} }626$

Sample size should be >626

Part II:

If unknown we take p = 0.5 because maximum std error for this

Here everything would be the same except insted of 0.48 we use 0.5

Margin of error = $2.045*\sqrt{\frac{0.5}{\sqrt{n} } } 654$

-------------------------

a and b are too close because 0.46 proportion is close to part b proporti0n 0.5

Let X, the number of flaws on the surface of a randomly selected boiler of a certain type, have a Poisson distribution with para

kvasek [131]

Answer:

(a) 0.932

(b) 0.0653

(c) 0.032

(d) 0.316

(e) 0.251

Step-by-step explanation:

From the table with mean parameter μ = 5, we can compute the following cumulative and density probability

(a) $P(X \leq 8) = 0.932$ (cumulative)

(b) P(X = 8) = 0.0653 (density)

(c) $P(9 \leq X) = 1 - P(X \leq 9) = 1 - 0.968 = 0.032$ (cumulative)

(d) $P(5 \leq X \leq 8) = P(X \leq 8) - P(X \leq 5) = 0.932 - 0.616 = 0.316$ (cumulative)

(e) $P(5 < X < 8) = P(X \leq 8) - P(X \leq 5) - P(X = 8) = 0.932 - 0.616 - 0.0653 = 0.251$

mixas84 [53]

Answer:

A) 3.5

B) 1.6202

Step-by-step explanation:

In binomial distribution,

E(X) = np and Var(X) = npq while

SD (X) = √(npq)

Where n is number of cards drawn

p is probability of getting one particular shape

q = 1-p

So from the question, n = 14

p = 13/52 = 1/4

q = 1-(1/4) = 3/4

So;

A) E(x) = np = 14 x 1/4 = 3.5

B) SD (X) = √(npq) = √(14 x 1/4 x 3/4) = √(42/16) = √2.625 = 1.6202
