In a survey of 300 college graduates, 53% reported that they entered a profession closely related to their college major. If 9 of those survey subjects are randomly selected with replacement for a follow-up survey, what is the probability that 3 of them entered a profession closely related to their college major

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

0.1348 = 13.48% probability that 3 of them entered a profession closely related to their college major.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each graduate, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they entered a profession closely related to their college major, or they did not. The probability of a graduate entering a profession closely related to their college major is independent of other graduates. This, coupled with the fact that they are chosen with replacement, 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.

53% reported that they entered a profession closely related to their college major.

This means that [tex]p = 0.53[/tex]

9 of those survey subjects are randomly selected

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

What is the probability that 3 of them entered a profession closely related to their college major?

This is P(X = 3).

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

[tex]P(X = 9) = C_{9,3}.(0.53)^{3}.(0.47)^{6} = 0.1348[/tex]

0.1348 = 13.48% probability that 3 of them entered a profession closely related to their college major.

Answer:

the sum of deviation of all observations of the data 5, 8, 10, 15, 22 from their mean. =26

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean=sum of observation/ No. of observation

={5+8+ 10+ 15 + 22}/5

=60/5=12

Sum of deviations

= |5- 12| + |8 – 12| + |10- 12| + |15- 12| + |22-12|

Answer:

-8, 36, -5

Step-by-step explanation:

This sort of pattern is used in the factoring of trinomials. Typically, the top quadrant holds the product you're trying to factor. The bottom quadrant holds the sum of the factors. The factors appear on the left and right in no particular order.

__

1) You're looking for factors of -24 that have a sum of -5. It can be useful to simply list the factor pairs. Since you want a negative sum, you may want to start with the most negative factors and work up from there.

  -24 = (-24)(1) = (-12)(2) = (-8)(3) = (-6)(4)

The sums of these factor pairs are -23, -10, -5, -2. Obviously, the pair we're interested in is the one with a sum of -5: (-8) +(3).

So, the left- and right-quadrants are filled with -8 and 3.

  Blank 1 = -8

  Blank 2 = 3

__

2) You are given the factors, so all you need to do is form the product and sum.

  Blank 1 = (-3)(-2) = 6

  Blank 2 = (-3) +(-2) = -5

_____

Additional comment

Any sort of factoring is much easier to do if you have memorized your multiplication tables, preferably through 12×12. It is also helpful if you're familiar with divisibility rules—at least for single-digit numbers. I've seen college students struggle trying to do factoring using a calculator. It's not pretty. Many folks learn their times tables up to 10×10 by the end of 3rd grade.

Answer:

Blank 1: -8

Blank 2: 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Sorry if i'm late on this but it is the same X method concept. -8 and 3 add up to get -5, and they multiply to get -24

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Of the pebbles that were measured, which weight occurs the least?

Soln.: From the line plot, we can see that 3 ounce occurred once, 3 1/2 ounce occurred 4 times, 4 ounce occurred 3 times, 4 1/2 ounce occurred 5 times, 5 ounce occurred 2 times, 5 1/2 ounce occurred 3 times, 6 ounce occurred 2 times.

Therefore 3 ounce occurred the least.

b) What is the total weight of the pebbles represented by the data?

Soln.: The total weight is:

Total weight = (3*1) + (3 1/2 * 4) + (4 * 3) + (4 1/2 * 5) + (5 * 2) + (5 1/2 * 3) + (6 * 2) = 90 ounce

c)  Is there an outlier in the data set? If so what number is the outlier?

Soln.: There is no outlier in the data set because all the data are close to each other.

Step-by-step explanation:

Required

Match the expressions on the left with the right

(a) 21 in by 15 in

Calculate area

[tex]Area = 21in * 15in[/tex]

[tex]Area = 315in^2[/tex]

Multiply by [tex]1/3[/tex]

[tex]1-third = 315in^2 * \frac{1}{3}[/tex]

[tex]1-third = 105in^2[/tex]

Hence:

[tex](21in,15in)=>105in^2[/tex]

(b) 21 in by 30 in

Calculate area

[tex]Area = 21in * 30in[/tex]

[tex]Area = 630in^2[/tex]

Multiply by [tex]1/3[/tex]

[tex]1-third = 630in^2 * \frac{1}{3}[/tex]

[tex]1-third = 210in^2[/tex]

Hence:

[tex](21in,30in)=>210in^2[/tex]

(c) 15 in by 18 in

Calculate area

[tex]Area = 15in * 18in[/tex]

[tex]Area = 270in^2[/tex]

Multiply by [tex]1/3[/tex]

[tex]1-third = 270in^2 * \frac{1}{3}[/tex]

[tex]1-third = 90in^2[/tex]

Hence:

[tex](15in,18in)=>90in^2[/tex]

(d) 15 in by 30 in

Calculate area

[tex]Area = 15in * 30in[/tex]

[tex]Area = 450in^2[/tex]

Multiply by [tex]1/3[/tex]

[tex]1-third = 450in^2 * \frac{1}{3}[/tex]

[tex]1-third = 150in^2[/tex]

Hence:

Solve the system of equations

Answers

First you substitute.

[tex]4x+3(x+3)=16\\4x+3x+9=16\\7x=7\\x=1\\y=4[/tex]

Answer:

x = 1 and y = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Because y = x + 3 we can substitute 3y with 3(x + 3)

4x + 3(x + 3) = 16

4x + 3x + 9 = 16

7x + 9 = 16

7x + 9 - 9 = 16 - 9

7x = 16 - 9

7x = 7

7x ÷ 7 = 7 ÷ 7

x = 7 ÷ 7

x = 1

Since y = x + 3 and x = 1 y = 4.

1 + 3 = 4

x = 1 and y = 4

Check:

x = 1 and y = 4

1 x 4 + 3 x 4 = 16

4 + 12 = 16
