Answer 1

Answer:

The story tells of a plain-looking little bird (the Ugly Duckling) born in a barnyard. His brothers and sisters as well as the other birds and animals on the farm tease him for being plain and ugly, so he runs off to live with a flock of wild ducks and geese until hunters shoot down the flock. Alone again, the Ugly Duckling finds a home with an old woman, but her cat and hen also tease him, so he doesn't stay there long.

In his wanderings, the Ugly Duckling comes across a flock of migrating swans, and he wishes to join them but can't because he's too young and can't fly well enough. When winter sets in, a farmer rescues the Ugly Duckling, but the farmer's children and other animals frighten him with their noise and teasing, so again, he flees. He spends a cold and lonely winter hiding in a cave until springtime, when the flock of swans comes to the lake near his hiding place.

When the Ugly Duckling approaches the swans, he's delighted to find that they accept him and treat him like one of them. When he looks at his reflection in the lake, he realizes, to his astonishment, that he's matured into a beautiful swan himself. When the swans fly off from the lake, he spreads his wings and joins them, finally having found a family who accepts him.

Answer:  1080

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

Explanation:

We have an octagon because there are n = 8 sides. The diagram below shows one way to number the sides so you can count them efficiently (without missing any or double counting any).

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

Plug n = 8 into the formula below

S = 180(n-2)

S = 180(8-2)

S = 180(6)

S = 1080

The 8 interior angles add up to 1080 degrees.

The variance of the scores on a skill evaluation test is 143,641 with a mean of 1517 points. If 343 tests are sampled, what is the probability that the mean of the sample would differ from the population mean by less than 36 points

Answers

Answer:

The probability that the mean of the sample would differ from the population mean by less than 36 points=0.9216

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

The variance of the scores on a skill evaluation test=143,641

Mean=1517 points

n=343

We have to find the probability that the mean of the sample would differ from the population mean by less than 36 points.

Standard deviation,[tex]\sigma=\sqrt{143641}[/tex]

[tex]P(|x-\mu|<36)=P(|\frac{x-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}|<\frac{36}{\frac{\sqrt{143641}}{\sqrt{343}}})[/tex]

[tex]=P(|Z|<\frac{36}{\sqrt{\frac{143641}{343}}})[/tex]

[tex]=P(|Z|<1.76)[/tex]

[tex]=0.9216[/tex]

Hence,  the probability that the mean of the sample would differ from the population mean by less than 36 points=0.9216

John runs a computer software store. Yesterday he counted 125 people who walked by the store, 58 of whom came into the store. Of the 58, only 21 bought something in the store. (Round your answers to two decimal places.)
(a) Estimate the probability that a person who walks by the store will enter the store.
(b) Estimate the probability that a person who walks into the store will buy something.
(c) Estimate the probability that a person who walks by the store will come in and buy something.
(d) Estimate the probability that a person who comes into the store will buy nothing.

Answers

Answer:

a) 0.46 = 46% probability that a person who walks by the store will enter the store.

b) 0.36 = 36% probability that a person who walks into the store will buy something.

c) 0.17 = 17% probability that a person who walks by the store will come in and buy something.

d) 0.64 = 64% probability that a person who comes into the store will buy nothing.

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

(a) Estimate the probability that a person who walks by the store will enter the store.

58 out of 125. So

[tex]p = \frac{58}{125} = 0.46[/tex]

0.46 = 46% probability that a person who walks by the store will enter the store.

(b) Estimate the probability that a person who walks into the store will buy something.

58 walked, 21 bought. So

[tex]p = \frac{21}{58} = 0.36[/tex]

0.36 = 36% probability that a person who walks into the store will buy something.

(c) Estimate the probability that a person who walks by the store will come in and buy something.

21 came in and bought out of 125 that walked by. So

[tex]p = \frac{21}{125} = 0.17[/tex]

0.17 = 17% probability that a person who walks by the store will come in and buy something.

(d) Estimate the probability that a person who comes into the store will buy nothing.

0.36 probability that a person buys something, so 1 - 0.36 = 0.64 = 64% probability that a person who comes into the store will buy nothing.

where p is the probability of success on any one trial. Subjects are randomly selected for a health survey. The probability that someone is a universal donor​ (with group O and type Rh negative​ blood) is 0.15. Find the probability that the first subject to be a universal blood donor is the fifth person selected.

Answers

Answer:

0.0783

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of getting the first success on xtg trial ; this is a geometric distribution :

P(x) = p(1−p)^x−1

The probability of being a universal donor , p = 0.15

The probability of obtaining someone who is a universal donor on 5th trial will be :

P(5) = 0.15(1 - 0.15)^(5 - 1)

P(5) = 0.15(0.85)^4

P(5) = 0.15(0.52200625)

P(5) = 0.0783009375

P(5) = 0.0783

An automatic machine inserts mixed vegetables into a plastic bag. Past experience revealed that some packages were underweight and some were overweight, but most of them had satisfactory weight.
Weight % of Total Underweight 2.5 Satisfactory 90.0 Overweight 7.5a) What is the probability of selecting and finding that all three bags are overweight?b) What is the probability of selecting and finding that all three bags are satisfactory?

Answers

Answer:

a) 0.000016 = 0.0016% probability of selecting and finding that all three bags are overweight.

b) 0.729 = 72.9% probability of selecting and finding that all three bags are satisfactory

Step-by-step explanation:

The condition of the bags in the sample is independent of the other bags, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used 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.

a) What is the probability of selecting and finding that all three bags are overweight?

2.5% are overweight, which means that [tex]p = 0.025[/tex]

3 bags means that [tex]n = 3[/tex]

This probability is P(X = 3). So

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

[tex]P(X = 3) = C_{3,3}.(0.025)^{3}.(0.975)^{0} = 0.000016[/tex]

0.000016 = 0.0016% probability of selecting and finding that all three bags are overweight.

b) What is the probability of selecting and finding that all three bags are satisfactory?

90% are satisfactory, which means that [tex]p = 0.9[/tex]

3 bags means that [tex]n = 3[/tex]

This probability is P(X = 3). So

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

[tex]P(X = 3) = C_{3,3}.(0.9)^{3}.(0.1)^{0} = 0.729[/tex]

0.729 = 72.9% probability of selecting and finding that all three bags are satisfactory

Casey and Malik can paint a room in 6 hours if they work together. If Malik were to work by himself, it would take him 4 hours longer than it would take Casey working by himself. How long would it take Casey to paint the room by himself if Malik calls in sick? Round to 2 decimal places.

Answers

Answer:

It would take 10 hours for Casey to paint the room by himself.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Casey and Malik can paint a room in 6 hours if they work together, and if Malik were to work by himself, it would take him 4 hours longer than it would take Casey working by himself, to determine how long would it take Casey to paint the room by himself if Malik calls in sick the following calculation must be performed:

6 x 2 = 12

12 x 2 = 24

(24 - 4) / 2 = 10

Therefore, it would take 10 hours for Casey to paint the room by himself.

  area = t·0.34 ft²

We want that area to be 90 ft², so we can solve this equation for t:

  90 ft² = t·(0.34 ft²)

  90 ft²/(0.34 ft²) = t ≈ 264.71

SCC U of 1 pt 3 of 1 1.2.11 Assigned Media A rectangle has a width of 49 centimeters and a perimeter of 216 centimeters. V The length is cm.

Answers

Answer:

The length is of 59 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a rectangle:

The perimeter of a rectangle with width w and length l is given by:

[tex]P = 2(w + l)[/tex]

Width of 49 centimeters and a perimeter of 216 centimeters:

This means that [tex]w = 49, P = 216[/tex]

The length is cm.

We have to solve the equation for l. So

[tex]P = 2(w + l)[/tex]

[tex]216 = 2(49 + l)[/tex]

[tex]216 = 98 + 2l[/tex]

[tex]2l = 118[/tex]

[tex]l = \frac{118}{2}[/tex]

[tex]l = 59[/tex]

The length is of 59 cm.

We have to find the  difference should be expected, on average, between the two sample means.

[tex]S_{M_1-M_2}=\sqrt{\frac{S^2_1}{n_1}+\frac{S^2_2}{n_2}}[/tex]

[tex]n_1=n_2=4[/tex]

Using the formula

[tex]S_{M_1-M_2}=\sqrt{\frac{68}{4}+\frac{76}{4}}[/tex]

[tex]S_{M_1-M_2}=\sqrt{\frac{68+76}{4}}[/tex]

[tex]S_{M_1-M_2}=\sqrt{36}=6[/tex]

Option d is correct.

Now, replace n by 16
