According to a study done by Nick Wilson of Otago University Wellington, the probability a randomly selected individual will not cover his or her mouth when sneezing is 0.267. Suppose you sit on a bench in a mall and observe people's habits as
they sneeze. Complete parts (a) through (c)
(a) What is the probability that among 12 randomly observed individuals, exactly 7 do not cover their mouth when sneezing?
Using the binomial distribution, the probability is
(Round to four decimal places as needed.)
(b) What is the probability that among 12 randomly observed individuals, fewer than 5 do not cover their mouth when sneezing?
Using the binomial distribution, the probability is 1
(Round to four decimal places as needed.)
(c) Would you be surprised if, after observing 12 individuals, fewer than half covered their mouth when sneezing? Why?
No, I would not be surprising, because using the binomial distribution, the probability is . which is v0.05
(Round to four decimal places as needed.)
Using the binomial distribution, it is found that:
a) There is a 0.0162 = 1.62% probability that among 12 randomly observed individuals, exactly 7 do not cover their mouth when sneezing.
b) There is a 0.5958 = 59.58% probability that among 12 randomly observed individuals, fewer than 5 do not cover their mouth when sneezing.
c) The probability is higher than 5%, so it would not be unusual.
Binomial probability distribution
The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, with p probability.
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]
In this problem:
Sample of 12, thus [tex]n = 12[/tex]0.267 probability that a person covers their mouth, thus [tex]p = 0.27[/tex].Item a:
This probability is P(X = 7), so:
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 7) = C_{12,7}.(0.267)^{7}.(0.733)^{5} = 0.0162[/tex]
There is a 0.0162 = 1.62% probability that among 12 randomly observed individuals, exactly 7 do not cover their mouth when sneezing.
Item b:
The probability is P(X < 4), which is:
[tex]P(X < 4) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3)[/tex]
Then
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{12,0}.(0.267)^{0}.(0.733)^{12} = 0.0241[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 1) = C_{12,1}.(0.267)^{1}.(0.733)^{11} = 0.1052[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 2) = C_{12,2}.(0.267)^{2}.(0.733)^{10} = 0.2107[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 3) = C_{12,3}.(0.267)^{3}.(0.733)^{9} = 0.2558[/tex]
Then
[tex]P(X < 4) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) = 0.0241 + 0.1052 + 0.2107 + 0.2558 = 0.5958[/tex]
There is a 0.5958 = 59.58% probability that among 12 randomly observed individuals, fewer than 5 do not cover their mouth when sneezing.
Item c:
This probability is:
[tex]P(X < 6) = P(X < 4) + P(X = 5) = 0.5958 + P(X = 5)[/tex]
Negative probabilities do no exist, thus, this probability is guaranteed to be above 0.05, which means that it would not be unusual if fewer than half covered their mouth when sneezing.

What is percentage?"It is a number can be expressed as a fraction of 100."
For given question,
Let 'n' be the the number of employees before layoff.
A company laid off 80% of its work force.
The number of employees after the layoff is 400.
The number of employees after the layoff would be,
⇒ n - (80 percent of n) = 400

Kevin's earnings vary directly with the number of hours he works. Suppose that he worked 7 hours yesterday and earned $112. How much will he earn today if he works 10 hours?
Answer:
$160 in 10 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that Kevin earns $112 for working 7 hours. To find the answer for 10 hours, we need to find the unit rate.
Divide 112÷7= $16 for every 1 hour he works.
Now, we can use the unit rate to find the amount earned for 10 hours.
16×10= $160

Step-by-step explanation:
(x - 3)² = 16
x² - 6x + 9 = 16
x² - 6x + 9 - 16 = 0
x² - 6x - 7 = 0
(x - 7)(x + 1)
x = 7 \/ x = -1

In a parking lot there are only white cars, green cars, and red cars. If one car is selected at random from the lot, the probability that the selected car would be a green car is one sixth and the probability that it would be a red car is one eighth. What is the probability that it would be a white car?
Answer:
17/24
Step-by-step explanation:
With the understanding that the three given cars form three mutually exhaustive and disjoint sets i.e., they form the partition of sample space, the probability that the selected car would be white is [tex]\frac{17}{24}[/tex].
What is partition of a sample space?A collection of sets B1, B2, . . . , Bn is said to partition the sample space if the sets (i) are mutually disjoint and (ii) have as union the entire sample space.
In this question, we take three sets - set of all red cars, white cars and green cars.
A car can be either red, white or green. Thus they are mutually exclusive.
Also, let the cars in parking lot be the sample space. Every car we pick has to be of one of the three colors. This imply that the three sets of the three cars are mutually exhaustive.
P(selecting a red car) + P (selecting a green car) + P(selecting a white car) = 1
[tex]\frac{1}{8} + \frac{1}{6} + P(selecting\ a\ white\ car) = 1\\\\ P(selecting\ a\ white\ car) = \frac{17}{24}[/tex]

Find the slope intercept form of an equation of the line perpendicular to the graph y = 2/3x - 5/3 and passing through the point (0, 6).
The perpendicular slope is:
State the y value of the y-intercept of the perpendicular line:
The equation of the perpendicular line is:
Answer:
Perpendicular slope: -3/2
Y-value of the y-intercept: 6
Linear equation of the perpendicular line: y = -3/2x + 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes, which means that multiplying the slopes of both lines will result in -1.
Given the linear equation, y = 2/3x - 5/3, and the point, (0, 6):
Let m1 = slope of line 1
m2 = slope of the other line
Since the slope of y = 2/3x - 5/3 is 2/3, then the other line must have a slope of -3/2 because:
m1 × m2 = -1
[tex](\frac{2}{3}) (-\frac{3}{2}) = -1[/tex]
Therefore, the slope of the other line (m2) = -3/2.
The y-intercept is the y-coordinate of the point where the graph of the linear equation crosses the y-axis. The y-intercept is also the value of y when x = 0. The given point has coordinates (0, 6), which means that it is the y-intercept. Its y-coordinate, (b) = 6.
Therefore, given the slope m = -3/2, and the y-value of the y-intercept, b = 6, then the equation of the perpendicular line is: y = -3/2x + 6.

Answers:
y intercept: 9zeros: -3, -1, 1, 3===============================================
Explanation:
The y intercept is where the curve crosses the y axis. The curve appears to do so just below y = 10, so y = 9 seems like a good estimate. I'm basing this off of the answer choices given. The y intercept always occurs when x = 0.
The zeros, aka roots or x intercepts, are where the curve crosses or touches the x axis. This occurs in four locations: x = -3, x = -1, x = 1 and x = 3. The x intercepts always occur when y = 0.
Solve and check the equation.[tex]\frac{x}{10}=\frac{5x}{7} -43[/tex]
Answer:
x = 70
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equations.
[tex]\frac{x}{10} = \frac{5x}{7}-43[/tex] [tex]\frac{1}{10}x=\frac{5}{7}x-43[/tex]Step 2: Subtract 5/7x from both sides.
[tex]\frac{1}{10}x- \frac{5}{7}x = \frac{5}{7}x - 43 - \frac{5}{7}x[/tex] [tex]\frac{-43}{70}x = -43[/tex]Step 3: Multiply both sides by 70/(-43).
[tex]\frac{-43}{70}x * \frac{70}{-43} = -43*\frac{70}{-43}[/tex] [tex]x = 70[/tex]Step 4: Check if solution is correct.
[tex]\frac{(70)}{10}=\frac{5(70)}{7} -43[/tex] [tex]7 = \frac{350}{7} - 43[/tex] [tex]7 = 50 - 43[/tex] [tex]7 = 7[/tex]Therefore, x = 70.

Step-by-step explanation:
We can divide each equation by 2 and subtract the constant to put them in general form.
x -3y -3 = 0
3x -2y -1 = 0
This form facilitates use of the "cross multiplication method" of solution. That method tells us ...
1/d1 = x/d2 = y/d3
where the differences d1, d2, d3 are the differences of cross-products:
d1 = 1(-2) -(3(-3)) = 7
d2 = -3(-1) -(-2(-3)) = -3
d3 = -3(3) -(-1(1)) = -8
Then the solutions are ...
x = d2/d1 = -3/7
y = d3/d1 = -8/7
(x, y) = (-3/7, -8/7)
_____
Additional comment
When the general form equations ax+by+c=0 and dx+ey+g=0 have their coefficients written in two rows: (note the repeated first coefficient)
a, b, c, ad, e, g, dThe pattern in the cross-differences is relatively easy to see:
d1 = ae -dbd2 = bg -ecd3 = cd -gaThe expressions for the solution values, (x, y) = (d2/d1, d3/d1), are substantially identical to those of Cramer's method.
