Pat is required to sell candy bars to raise money for the 6th grade field trip. There is a 40%
chance of him selling a candy bar at each house. He has to sell 5 candy bars in all. Let X be
of number of houses it takes.
i. Name distribution (with parameter(s)) of X.
ii. What is the probability he sells his last candy bar at the 11th house?
iii. What is the probability of Pat finishing on or before the 8th house?

Answers

Answer 1

Probabilities are used to determine the chances of events.

The given parameters:

[tex]n = 5[/tex] ---- the number of candy bars

[tex]p = 40\%[/tex] ---- the probability of selling a candy bar

(a) Name distributions

The distribution of X is represented as:

[tex]X \sim(r,p)[/tex]

Where:

[tex]r = 5[/tex]

[tex]p= \frac{5\times 40\%}{10}[/tex]

[tex]p= 0.2[/tex]

So, the name distribution of X is [tex]X \sim(r= 5,p = 0.2)[/tex]

(b) The probability that the last candy is sold at the 11th house

This means that:

[tex]n = 10[/tex] --- the number of previous houses

[tex]r = 4[/tex] --- the previous number of candies

[tex]p = 0.4[/tex] --- the given probability of selling a candy

The probability is calculated using:

[tex]P(x = n+1) = ^{n}C_r \times p^{r +1} \times (1 - p)^{n-r}[/tex]

This gives

[tex]P(x = 10+1) = ^{10}C_4 \times 0.4^{4 +1} \times (1 - 0.4)^{10-4}[/tex]

[tex]P(x = 11) = ^{10}C_4 \times 0.4^{5} \times (0.6)^6[/tex]

[tex]P(x = 11) = 210 \times 0.4^5 \times 0.6^6[/tex]

[tex]P(x = 11) = 0.1003290624[/tex]

Approximate

[tex]P(x = 11) = 0.1003[/tex]

Hence, the probability that the last candy is sold at the 11th house is 0.1003

(b) The probability he sells the candies on or before the 8th house

The probability is calculated using:

[tex]P(x \le 8) = P(5 \le x \le 8)[/tex]

This gives

[tex]P(x \le 8) = ^{10}C_5 \times 0.4^{6} \times (0.6)^5 + ^{10}C_6 \times 0.4^{7} \times (0.6)^4 + ^{10}C_7 \times 0.4^{8} \times (0.6)^3 +^{10}C_8 \times 0.4^{9} \times (0.6)^2[/tex]

[tex]P(x = 11) = 0.1737[/tex] ---- approximated

Hence, the probability he sells the candies on or before the 8th house is 0.1737

1. The length of time, in hours, it takes an "over 40" group of people to play one soccer match is
normally distributed with a mean of two hours and a standard deviation of 0.5 hours. A sample of
size n = 50 is drawn randomly from the population. Find the probability that the sample mean is
between 1.8 hours and 2.2 hours.​

Answers

The probability that the sample mean is between 1.8 hours and 2.2 hours. is; 0.99535

What is the Probability in Normal Distribution?

We are given;

Sample size; n = 50

Standard deviation; σ = 0.5

Mean; μ = 2

The formula to find the z-score for each sample mean is;

z = (x' - μ)/(σ/√n)

Thus, for x' = 1.8, we have;

z = (1.8 - 2)/(0.5/√50)

z = -2.83

For x' = 2.2, we have;

z = (2.2 - 2)/(0.5/√50)

z  = 2.83

Thus, the probability that the sample mean is between 1.8 hours and 2.2 hours. is;

P(-2.83 < Z < 2.83) = 0.99535

what is 130mins into hours and minutes?​

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1 Hour = 60 minutes

60  + 60 = 120 minutes

120 minutes = 2 hours

Add 10 minutes

2 hours 10 minutes = 130 minutes

Hello there. So there are 60 minutes in 1 hour, implying that 120 minutes must be 2 hours.

We need to get to 130 minutes.
We know it will be 2 hours and ____ minutes. 130 - 120 will leave us with 10 minutes. So in total we have 2 hours and 10 minutes.

In the form of a decimal, to work out 2 hours and 10 minutes, we’d need to take 10 and divide it by 60, since there is 60 minutes in an hour. 60/10 = 0.166 reoccurring. Now we can just add the 2 to 0.166 = 2.166667.

Step-by-step explanation:

Same: 30×40 = 1200 . . . . . 2 zeros in the factors; 2 in the product

Different: 20×50 = 1000 . . . 2 zeros in the factors; 3 in the product

__

Same: 0.3×0.4 = 0.12 . . . . no zeros in the factors; no zeros in the product

Different: 0.2×0.4 = 0.08 . . . no zeros in the factors; 1 zero in the product after the decimal point

_____

For a product, the number of zeros will be different if the combined factors of the numbers increase the number of factors of 10 beyond the sum of the factors of 10 of the numbers being multiplied.

Example: neither 2 nor 5 has a factor of 10, but their product does.

__

For a product that is a decimal fraction, the number of leading zeros will increase if the product of the mantissas of the numbers is less than 10. The number of trailing zeros will increase under the conditions discussed above. (0.25×0.4 = 0.100)

Here, the term "mantissa" is used to refer to the portion of the number written in scientific notation that multiplies the power of 10.

Ava and Mary are 10 miles apart on a path when they start moving toward each other. Ava runs at a constant speed of 4 miles per hour, while Mary walks at a constant speed of 1 miles per hour. How long does it take until they meet?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You are after time. You know the total distance. They start off at the same time and meet after t hours

Let the meeting time = t

Let the distance from Mary's standpoint be d

Mary

d = r * t

r = 1 mile / hour

t = ?

Ava

d = r*t

d for Ava = 10 - d

r = 4 mile / hour

Solution

10 - d = 4 * t

The time is the same for both people

Ava: divide both sides by 4

10/4 - d/4 = t

Mary

d = 1 * t

d = t

10/4 - d/4 = d        Add d/4 to both sides.

10/4 = d + d/4

10/4 = 5d / 4        Multiply both sides by 4

10 = 5d                Divide both sides by 5

10/5 = 5d/5

d = 2

Since from Mary we have d = t

They will meet in 2 hours.

2. Nora's bill at a store is $125. If she leaves a 2% tip for the gate keeper,

Step-by-step explanation:

All you have to do is $125 times 1.02 because it is adding to the price it is already.

$125 × 1.02.

Which is $127.50.

2% of 125 is 2.5
2.5 dollars plus 125 dollars would give you a total bill of $127.50

Adelina says, "For every 100 voters we call, we can expect to bring in about $1,807 in total donations."
Josh says, "If we call a very large number of voters, the average donation will be close to $18.07."
Whose statement is correct based on the expected value?

Answers

According to the given expected value, it is found that Josh's statement is correct.

The interpretation of the expected value is that over a large number of trials, the average value will be close to the expected value.

In this problem, the expected amount donated by a given voter they call is $18.07.

Hence, considering a very large number of voters called, the average amounts of their donations will be close to $18.07, hence, Josh's statement is correct.100 voters is not a large amount, hence the expected value should vary around $18.07, and we can't say that Adelina's statement is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of square= l×l

Area of square= 6mm × 6mn

Area if square = 36 mm²

Area of triangle 1= ½b ×h

Area of triangle 1= ½ (6mm)(8mm)

Area of triangle 1 = 24 mm²

Area of triangle 2 is the same as area of traingle 1 because they have the same base and hight

: . area of triangles is 48mm²

Area of the figure= Area of square + Area of triangles

A of figure = 36+48

A of figure = 84 mm²

Option 2

Use trapezium formula

Area of trapezium= (a+b)/2 * h

a=6 mm (base)

b=8+6=14 mm (Base)

h= 6mm (height)

[tex]area \: of \: trapezium = ( \frac{6 + 14}{2} )(6) \\ = 60mm ^{2} [/tex]
