Answer 1

Answer: The correct answer is B) 21%

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a binomial model probability problem. We need to find the probability of 6 out of 10 new births at a hospital being boys. The information we need is the number of trials observed, the number of successes and the percentage chance you have of any birth being a boy. The number of trials are 10, with the number of successes being 6 (the number of trials we want to be boys) It states that 51% or 0.51 of all births in the US are boys so we can use this value to determine our answer using our binomial model formula. After simplifying we get our answer of 21% I hope this has been of use to you :)

Have a wonderful rest of your day!

Answer 2

The probability that 6 out of 10 births at a local hospital are boys is 21%, so option B is correct.

What is probability?

The ratio of good outcomes to all possible outcomes of an event is known as probability. A lot of successful results for an experimental with 'n' results can be represented by the symbol x.

Given data:

In the U.S., 51% of all births are boys, and 49% are girls

Calculate the probability by the formula given below,

[tex]P(x) = [n! / {x!(n-x)!}]P^xQ^{n-x}[/tex]

Here x = 6 and n = 10, put the values,

P(x) = [10! / {6!(10-6)!}] × 51⁶ × 49⁽¹⁰⁻⁶⁾

P(x) =  [10! / {6!4!}] × 0.51⁶ × 0.49⁴

P(x) =  210 × 0.0176 × 0.0577

P(x) =  0.21

P(x) =  21 %

Therefore, the probability that 6 out of 10 births at a local hospital are boys is 21%.

Answer:

x ≥ -64

Step-by-step explanation:

"3/4ths of a number is greater than or equal to -48"

3/4 of a number ≥ -48

Let's say the number is x.

(3/4)x ≥ -48

Multiply both sides by 4.

3x ≥ -192

Divide both sides by 3.

Answer:

[tex]y=-314x-1261[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

When we are writing an equation we have to put it in slope-intercept-form [tex]y=mx+b[/tex]. We already know the slope it's -314, we replace m with the slope. Now we have to find b which is the y-intercept. So what we have to do is plug in the ordered pair into the equation. -4 for x and -5 for y.

[tex]y=mx+b\\-5=-314(-4)+b[/tex]

Now we solve

[tex]-5=-314(-4)+b\\-5= 1256+b\\b=-1261[/tex]

So now that we know everything we need we plug in and....

[tex]y=mx+b\\y=-314x-1261[/tex]

we've got our equation!

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope = [tex]\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}[/tex]

          [tex]= \frac{8-3}{0-[-2]}\\\\=\frac{5}{0+2}\\\\=\frac{5}{2}[/tex]

   m = 5/2 ; (0 , 8)

Equation: y -y1 = m(x -x1)

               [tex]y - 8 =\frac{5}{2}(x - 0)\\\\y - 8 =\frac{5}{2}x\\y = \frac{5}{2}x + 8[/tex]

The intensity of the sound, I watts/m², received from a loudspeaker is
inversely proportional to the square of the distance, d metres, from the
loudspeaker.
When d = 2,1 = 30
Work out the value of I when d = 10


PLEASE HELP

Answers

Answer:

The value of I for d = 10 will be 1.2 watts/m^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let I be the intensity of sound and d be the distance

According to given statement, "The intensity of the sound, I watts/m², received from a loudspeaker is  inversely proportional to the square of the distance, d meters, from the  loudspeaker. "

[tex]I \propto \frac{1}{d^2}[/tex]

Removing the proportionality symbol

[tex]I = \frac{k}{d^2}[/tex]

Putting d = 2 and I = 30

[tex]30 = \frac{k}{(2)^2}\\30 = \frac{k}{4}\\k = 30*4\\k = 120[/tex]

Putting the value of k in the equation

[tex]I = \frac{120}{d^2}[/tex]

Putting d = 10

[tex]I = \frac{120}{(10)^2}\\I = \frac{120}{100}\\I = 1.2[/tex]

Hence,

The value of I for d = 10 will be 1.2 watts/m^3

Out of 498 applicants for a job, 187 have over 10 years of experience and 127 have over 10 years of experience and have a graduate degree. Step 1 of 2 : What is the probability that a randomly chosen applicant has a graduate degree, given that they have over 10 years of experience

Answers

Answer:

the probability that randomly selected applicants over 10 years of experience is 0.6791

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the probability that randomly selected applicants over 10 years of experience is as follows:

Total would be

= 187 have 10 + years experience

Now

P(graduate | 10+) = (graduate and 10+ years experience) ÷ (10 + years of experience)

= 127 ÷ 187

= 0.6791

Hence, the probability that randomly selected applicants over 10 years of experience is 0.6791

The top of a 25-foot ladder is sliding down a wall at a rate of 3 feet per second. When the top of the ladder is 15 feet from the ground, what is the rate of change between the bottom of the ladder and the wall?

Answers

Answer:

1.8ft/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the formula for calculating Speed as shown:

Speed = Distance/Time

Time = Distance/Speed

t = d/s

Given

d1 = 25 foot

s1 = 3ft/s

d2 = 15ft

Required

s2

Using the formula;

d1/s1 = d2/s2

s2 = s1d2/d1

s2 = 3*15/25

s2 = 45/25

s2 = 1.8ft/s

Hence the rate of change between the bottom of the ladder and the wall is 1.8ft/s
