The probability that a student is accepted to a prestigious college is 0.3. If 5 students from the same school apply, what is the probability that at most 4 are accepted

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:0.849185

Step-by-step explanation:

Binomial probability formula we will use:

[tex]$P(x)=\frac{n !}{x !(n-x) !} p^{x} q^{n-x}$[/tex]

where,

[tex]n=5$\\$\mathrm{P}$ (probability of success) $=0.3$\\q=1-p[/tex]

The computation of the probability will be :

[tex]$P(x \leq 2 ; 5,0.3)=P(x=0 ; 5,0.3)+P(x=1 ; 5,0.3)+P(x=2 ; 5,0.3)+P(x=3 ; 5,0.3)$\\$=\left[\frac{5 !}{5 !(5-0) !}(0.3)^{0}(1-0.3)^{5-0}\right]+\left[\frac{5 !}{5 !(5-1) !}(0.3)^{1}(1-0.3)^{5-1}\right]$$+\left[\frac{5 !}{5 !(5-2) !}(0.3)^{2}(1-0.3)^{5-2}\right]$$++\left[\frac{5 !}{5 !(5-3) !}(0.3)^{3}(1-0.3)^{5-3}\right]$$++\left[\frac{5 !}{5 !(5-4) !}(0.3)^{4}(1-0.3)^{5-4}\right]$\\$=0.1681+0.3601+0.3087+0.006615+0.00567$\\$\Rightarrow 0.849185$[/tex]

The probability that at most 4 are accepted = 0.849185

Bill Board is "lording" his SAT score over his friend, Rhoda Dendron, who took the ACT. "You only got a 25 in math," he chortled, "while I got a 300 in math." Given that the SAT has a μ of 500 and a σ of 100, and the ACT has a μ of 20 and a σ of 5, what is wrong with Bill’s logic (give the answer in both z scores and percentile ranks).

Answers

Answer:

Rhoda, whose ACT has a z-score of 1, scored in the 84th percentile in the ACT, compared to Bill, whose SAT has a z-score of -2, who scored in the 2nd percentile on the SAT. Due to the higher percentile(higher z-score)  on her test, Rhoda did better on her respective test than Bill, and thus, his logic is wrong.

Step-by-step explanation:

Z-score:

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Bill:

Scored 300, so [tex]X = 300[/tex]

SAT has a μ of 500 and a σ of 100.

His z-score is:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{300 - 500}{100}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -2[/tex]

[tex]Z = -2[/tex] has a p-value of 0.02.

This means that Bill, whose SAT score has Z = -2, scored in the 2nd percentile.

Rhoda

Scored 25, so [tex]X = 25[/tex].

ACT has a μ of 20 and a σ of 5

Her z-score:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{25 - 20}{5}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1[/tex] has a p-value of 0.84

This means that Rhoda, whose ACT score has Z = 1, scored in the 84th percentile.

What is wrong with Bill’s logic ?

Rhoda, whose ACT has a z-score of 1, scored in the 84th percentile in the ACT, compared to Bill, whose SAT has a z-score of -2, who scored in the 2nd percentile on the SAT. Due to the higher percentile(higher z-score)  on her test, Rhoda did better on her respective test than Bill, and thus, his logic is wrong.

Answer:

209 (Sorry if wrong)

Step-by-step explanation:

12x12=144

13x5=65

144+65=209

Answer:  174 square meters

==================================================

How to get that answer:

We have a 12 by 12 square of area 12*12 = 144 square meters.

Then on top of this we have a triangle with base 12 and height 5, so its area is base*height/2 = 12*5/2 = 60/2 = 30 square meters

Overall, the two areas combine to 144+30 = 174 square meters

---------

Side notes:

The missing side of the triangle can be found through the pythagorean theorem. You could use the trapezoid area formula as an alternative path, instead of finding the area of each smaller piece.We can condense the unit "square meters" into "sq m" or "m^2".

Similar Triangles

Write the ratio of corresponding sides for the similar triangles and reduce the ratio to lowest terms.

Kyle is studying migration patterns of birds. Specifically, he is comparing the distance travelled by geese and the distance travelled by pelicans in a year. Do geese travel significantly more distance than pelicans do?

Geese Pelicans
M = 191 miles M = 190 miles
n = 61 n = 61
s = 1.429 s = 1.355

Required:
a. State the null and alternative hypotheses in words.
b. Locate the critical value that defines the critical region.
c. Calculate your statistic.
d. Make a decision with respect to the null.
e. Write a concluding statement in everyday language.

Answers

Answer:

H0 : μ1 - μ2 = 0

H0 : μ1 - μ2 > 0

Test statistic = 3.96

Critical value = 1.67

Reject H0

We can conclude that there is significant evidence to support the claim that geese do travel more Than pelicans

Step-by-step explanation:

M= xbar1 = 191 ; M = xbar2 = 190 miles

n1 = 61 n2 = 61

s = 1.429 ; s2 = 1.355

Hypothesis :

H0 : μ1 - μ2 = 0

H0 : μ1 - μ2 > 0

Test statistic :

(x1 - x2) ÷ √[(s1²/n1) + (s2²/n2)]

(191 - 190) ÷ √[(1.429²/61) + (1.355²/61)]

1 ÷ √[(0.0334760) + (0.0300987)]

1 ÷ √0.0635747

1 ÷ 0.2521402

= 3.966

Degree of freedom :

df = n - 1

df = 61 - 1 = 60

Critical value :

Tcritical at 0.05%, df = 60

Tcritical = 1.67

Decision region:

Reject H0 if Tstatistic > Tcritical

Since ;

3.96 > 1.67 ; We reject H0

We can conclude that there is significant evidence to support the claim that geese do travel more Than pelicans

Answer:

( d ) 12x³ - 15x² + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 3x⁴ - 5x³ + 2x - 1

The derivative of a polynomial is the sum of the derivatives of its terms. The derivative of a constant term is 0. The derivative of axⁿ is nax^{n-1}.

[tex] \small \sf \: y = 4\times 3x^{4-1}+3\left(-5\right)x^{3-1}+2x^{1-1} [/tex]

multiply 4 × 3.

[tex] \small \sf \: y = 12x^{4-1}+3\left(-5\right)x^{3-1}+2x^{1-1} [/tex]

Multiply 3 × -5

[tex] \small \sf \: y = 12x^{3}-15x^{3-1}+2x^{1-1} [/tex]

subtract the exponents

y = 12x³ - 15x² + 2⁰

For any term t except 0, t⁰ = 1.

y = 12x³ - 15x² + 2 × 1

y = 12x³ - 15x² + 2

Hence, option ( d ) is the correct answer.

Anyone who has been outdoors on a summer evening has probably heard crickets. Did you know that it is possible to use the cricket as a thermometer? Crickets tend to chirp more frequently as temperatures increase. This phenomenon was studied in detail by George W. Pierce, a physics professor at Harvard.

Answer:

a) attached below

b) X - bar = 16.65

Y - bar =  80.04

y = 25.26 + 3.29 ( X )

c) attached in diagram below

Step-by-step explanation:

n = 15

∑ x = 20.0 + 16.0 + 19.8 + 18.4 + 17.1 + 15.5 + 14.7 + 17.1 + 15.4 + 16.2 + 15.0 + 17.2  + 16.0 + 17.0 + 14.4  = 249.8

∑ y =  88.6 + 71.6 + 93.3 + 84.3 + 80.6 + 75.2 + 69.7 + 82.0 + 69.4 + 83.3 + 79.6 + 82.6 + 80.6 + 83.5 + 76.3  = 1200.6

∑ xy = ( 20 * 88.6 ) + ( 16 *71.6 ) + ( 19.8 * 93.3 ) + ( 18.4 * 84.3 ) + ( 17.1 * 80.6 ) + (15.5 * 75.2 ) + ( 14.7 * 69.7 ) + ( 17.1 * 82.0 ) + ( 15.4 * 69.4 ) + ( 16.2 * 83.3 ) + ( 15 *79.6 ) + ( 17.2 * 82.6 ) + ( 16 * 80.6 ) + ( 17 * 83.5 ) + ( 14.4 * 76.3 )

 = 20127.47

∑x^2 =  20.0^2 + 16^2 + 19.8^2 + 18.4^2 + 17.1^2 + 15.5^2 + 14.7^2 + 17.1^2 + 15.4^2 + 16.2^2 + 15.0^2 + 17.2^2  + 16.0^2 + 17.0^2 + 14.4^2

   = 4200.56

∑ y^2 = 88.6^2 + 71.6^2 + 93.3^2 + 84.3^2 + 80.6^2 + 75.2^2 + 69.7^2 + 82.0 ^2 + 69.4^2 + 83.3^2 + 79.6^2 + 82.6^2 + 80.6^2 + 83.5^2  + 76.3^2

   = 96725.86

a) Scatter diagram showing given data

Attached below

B)

X - bar = ∑x / n  = 249.8 / 15 = 16.65

Y - bar = ∑y / n  = 1200.6 / 15 = 80.04

where: Y = Temperature and X = Chirps per seconds

b = [ n ∑ xy  - ( ∑x ∑y ) ] / [ n∑x^2 - ( ∑x )^2 ]

   = [ 15 * 20127.47 - ( 249.8  * 1200.6 )] / [15* 4200.56 - ( 249.8 )^2 ]

   = 2002.17 / 608.36  = 3.29

a = Y-bar - b( X-bar )

Answers

Answer:

Ordinal

Step-by-step explanation:

When dealing with categorical variables who doesn't permit mathematical or numerical evaluation of values or inputs, the ordinal variable atleast gives a method of scaling which allows us to rank variables on terms of importance, magnitude and so on. Such that the even though we can't measure the difference between the variables, we can tell that one is much better, important or higher in hierarchy than the other. Such is the categorical variable, of class when traveling. This could be Economy, Business, First class.

The Economy class is the lowest, followed by Business class then the First class. Here, there is an order or rnak in the classes but not measurable.
