Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

because, 190% as a decimal is 1.9. So 1.9 times 20 is 38. Not 380.

Answer: No, Marcus is not correct. He converted the percent to a decimal correctly and he multiplied correctly, but he put the decimal in the wrong place in the answer. There should be two decimal places in the answer, so the answer should be 38.

Step-by-step explanation: because I said so also I took the quiz.

Here is the scale model of a fountain at a museum the scale is 1:30 how many boulders are in the real fountain

wlad13 [49]

Answer:

When we do a scale model of something (like a building, a house, or whatever) al the properties of the original thing must also be in the model.

So for example, you want to do a model of a house, and in the backyard of the house there are 4 trees, then in the model of the house you also need to put 4 trees in the backyard (indifferent of the scale of the model).

Then the number of boulders in the really fountain should be the same as the number of boulders in the scale model of the fountain.

In choice situations of this type, subjects often exhibit the "center stage effect," which is a tendency to choose the item in t

Complete Question

Answer:

The probability that he or she would choose the pair of socks in the center position is $p =\frac{1}{5}$

The correct answer choice is

X has a binomial distribution with parameters n=100 and p=1/5

The mean is $\mu = 20$

The standard deviation is $\sigma=4$

The probability, $P =0.0002$

The correct answer is

The experiment supports the center stage effect. If participants were truly picking the socks at random, it would be highly unlikely for 34 or more to choose the center pair.

Using the R the probability $Pe = 0.0003$

The probabilities $P \approx Pe$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the person selects his or her desired pair of socks at random , then the probability that the person would choose the pair of socks in the center position from all the five identical pair is mathematically evaluated as

$p =\frac{1}{5}$

$=0.2$

The mean of this distribution is mathematical represented as

$\mu = np$

substituting the value

$\mu = 100 * 0.2$

$\mu = 20$

The standard deviation is mathematically represented as

$\sigma = \sqrt{np (1-p)}$

substituting the value

$= \sqrt{100 * 0,2 (1-0.2)}$

$\sigma=4$

Applying normal approximation the probability that 34 or more subjects would choose the item in the center if each subject were selecting his or her preferred pair of socks at random would be mathematically represented as

$P=P(X \ge 34 )$

By standardizing the normal approximation we have that

$P(X \ge 34) \approx P(Z \ge z)$

Now z is mathematically evaluated as

$z = \frac{x-\mu}{\sigma }$

Substituting values

$z = \frac{34-20}{4}$

$=3.5$

So using the z table the $P(Z \ge 3.5)$ is 0.0002

The probability P and Pe that 34 or more subject would choose the center pair is very small So

The correct answer is

The experiment supports the center stage effect. If participants were truly picking the socks at random, it would be highly unlikely for 34 or more to choose the center pair.
