You know that in a specific population of rainbow trout 15% of the individuals carry intestinal parasites. Assume you obtain a random sample of 9 individuals from this population:a. Calculate the probability that __ (last digit of your ID number) carry intestinal parasites.b. Calculate the probability that at least two individuals carry intestinal parasites.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) 0.2316 = 23.16% probability that 0 carry intestinal parasites.

b) 0.4005 = 40.05% probability that at least two individuals carry intestinal parasites.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each trout, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they carry intestinal parasites, or they do not. Trouts are independent. This means that we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

And p is the probability of X happening.

You know that in a specific population of rainbow trout 15% of the individuals carry intestinal parasites.

This means that [tex]p = 0.15[/tex]

Assume you obtain a random sample of 9 individuals from this population:

This means that [tex]n = 9[/tex]

a. Calculate the probability that __ (last digit of your ID number) carry intestinal parasites.

Last digit is 0, so:

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{9,0}.(0.15)^{0}.(0.85)^{9} = 0.2316[/tex]

0.2316 = 23.16% probability that 0 carry intestinal parasites.

b. Calculate the probability that at least two individuals carry intestinal parasites.

This is

[tex]P(X \geq 2) = 1 - P(X < 2)[/tex]

In which

[tex]P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)[/tex]

So

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{9,0}.(0.15)^{0}.(0.85)^{9} = 0.2316[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 1) = C_{9,1}.(0.15)^{1}.(0.85)^{8} = 0.3679[/tex]

[tex]P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.2316 + 0.3679 = 0.5995[/tex]

[tex]P(X \geq 2) = 1 - P(X < 2) = 1 - 0.5995 = 0.4005[/tex]

0.4005 = 40.05% probability that at least two individuals carry intestinal parasites.

Answer 2

We will see that the probabilities are:

a) 3.8*10^-8b) 0.26

How to find the probability.

We know that 15% of the population have the parasites, then if we take a trout at random we have:

a probability of 0.15 that it has parasites.a probability of 0.85 that it does not have parasites.

a) The probability that 9 of them carry intestinal parasites (so all of them have).

This is just the product of the individual probabilities, so we have 9 times a probability of 0.15, this gives:

P(9) = (0.15)^9 = 3.8*10^-8

b) Probability that 2 out of 9 have parasites.

Then we have 0.15 two times, and 0.85 seven times.

But we also need to take in account the permutations, the different groups of 2 trouts that we can make out of 9 trouts is given by:

[tex]C(9, 2) = \frac{9!}{(9-2)!*2!} = \frac{9*8}{2} = 36[/tex]

This means that there are 36 different pairs of 2 trouts that can be the ones with parasites.

Then the probability that 2 trouts have parasites is:

P(2) = 36*(0.15)^2*(0.85)^7 = 0.26

And just to be complete, the probabilty that x trouts have parasites is:

P(x) = C(9, x)*(0.15)^x*(0.85)^(9 - x)

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to estimate the size of the dark blue section of the chart. The chart looks like the left of the pie chart is split evenly with the dark blue section. So we estimate that each of those must represent 12 or 50% of the total number of families. Therefore,

0.50⋅1000=500

About 500 families own a van.

Write an equation of the parabola shown.

Answers

Answer:

y = 0.1(x + 5)² + 1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a parabola having vertex at (h, k) is given by,

y = a(x - h)² + k

From the given graph, vertex of the parabola is (-5, 1.5)

Therefore, equation of the parabola will be,

y = a(x + 5)² + 1.5

Since, this parabola passes through a point (0, 4)

4 = a(0 + 5)² + 1.5

4 = 25a + 1.5

25a = 2.5

a = 0.1

By substituting the value of 'a' in the equation of the parabola,

y = 0.1(x + 5)² + 1.5

HELP

Answers

Answer:

7

Step-by-step explanation:

did the question

The amount of money would be $6,880 in the account after 7 years.

What is Compound interest?

Compound interest is defined as interest paid on the original principal and the interest earned on the interest of the principal.

A = P(1+r/100)ⁿ

Where:

A = the future value of the investment or loan

P = the principal investment or loan amount

r = the interest rate (decimal)

n = the number of compound periods

Given data as follows:

p = $5,300

r = 3.8%

A = $6,880

A = P(1+r/100)ⁿ

Substitute the values of p,r, and A in the formula,

6,880 = 5,300(1 + 3.8/100)ⁿ

6,880/5,300 = (1 + 0.038)ⁿ

1.2981 = (1.038)ⁿ

n = 6.9954

Rounded to the nearest digit, and we get

n = 7

Therefore, the amount of money would be $6,880 in the account after 7 years.

how do i solve this and what is the answer?

Answers

Answer:

I totally get why you are asking , how do I solve this.  there is so much implied about this

Step-by-step explanation:

1st you have to recognize that ∠ACB ( in my drawing ) has that same angle as the arc from A to B  ,  so that's implied.   next you have to recognize that the triangle formed by ACB with the 124 degree angle at C is an isosceles and therefore has identical angles at A and B  so that's  180 = 124 + 2A  , so A = 28° and so does B , then , b/c we know that small angle... you also have to know, that the line AC is perpendicular to AD.  that they from a right angle and there for... you now know , that ∠BAD is the other part of that 90 or 90= 28 + ∠BAD so  ∠BAD = 62°

I went through that kinda fast, there was several "leaps" of using logic to get to the correct answer , using things you know from prior understanding about angles , circles  and geometry,  you are putting all of the parts together here.  :/  kinda daunting in some ways.
