You are stuck at the Vince Lombardi rest stop on the New Jersey Turnpike with a dead battery. To get on the road again, you need to find someone with jumper cables that connect the batteries of two cars together so you can start your car again. Suppose that 16% of drivers in New Jersey carry jumper cables in their trunk. You begin to ask random people getting out of their cars if they have jumper cables. Use Scenario 6-17. On average, how many people do you expect you will have to ask before you find someone with jumper cables

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The expected number of people you will have to ask before you find someone with jumper cables is 6.25.

Step-by-step explanation:

The geometric distribution is the distribution of the number of X Bernoulli trials required for one success. If the one success requires k independent trials, each with the probability of success as p, then the probability that the kth trial is the one success is:

        [tex]p_{X}(k)=(1-p)^{k-1}p;\ k={1, 2, 3...}[/tex]

The geometric distribution is the distribution of the number of Y = X – 1 failures required before the first success. If the first success requires k failures, each trial with the probability of success as p, then the probability that the 1st success occurs after k failures is:

        [tex]p_{X}(k)=(1-p)^{k}p;\ k={0, 1, 2, 3...}[/tex]

In this case the first scenario follows.

X = number of people you will have to ask before you find someone with jumper cables.

p = 0.16

Compute the expected number of people you will have to ask before you find someone with jumper cables as follows:

[tex]E(X)=\frac{1}{p}\\\\=\frac{1}{0.16}\\\\=6.25[/tex]

Thus, the expected number of people you will have to ask before you find someone with jumper cables is 6.25.

Answers

Complete question :

Suppose babies born after a gestation period of 32 to 35 weeks have a mean weight of 2800 grams and a standard deviation of 900 grams while babies born after a gestation period of 40 weeks have a mean weight of 3100 grams and a standard deviation of 410 grams. If a 32 ​-week gestation period baby weighs 3300 grams and a 40 ​-week gestation period baby weighs 3600 ​grams, find the corresponding​z-scores. Which baby weighs more relative to the gestation​ period? Find the corresponding​ z-scores. Which baby weighs relatively more​?

Answer:

32 - 35 weeks = 0.56

40 weeks : 1.22

40 weeks babies weigh more

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

32 - 35 weeks babies :

Mean (m) = 2800

Standard deviation (s) = 900

Weight (x) = 3300

40 weeks babies :

Mean (m) = 3100

Standard deviation (s) = 410

Weight (x) = 3600

Obtain the standardized score for both categories :

Zscore = (x - m) / s

32 - 35 weeks :

Zscore = (3300 - 2800) / 900

Zscore = 0.555555 = 0.56

40 weeks :

Zscore = (3600 - 3100) / 410

Zscore = 1.2195121 = 1.22

Zscore for 40 weeks is higher than 32-35 weeks.

Hence, 40 weeks babies weigh more.

for the function g (x) shown graphed below, over which of the following intervals is g (x) > 0

Answers

Answer:

g(-1) is lesser than 0 while h(-1) is -3(-1) + 8 = 11 so g(-1) is lesser than h(-1)

g(1) is 5 while h(1) is -3(1) + 8 = 5 so g(1) is equal to h(1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The function g(x) is greater than zero when the value of x lies in between -3 and 5 and this can be determined by using the given graph.

Given :

The graph of the function g(x) is given.

The following steps can be used in order to determine the interval for g(x):

Step 1 - The value of g(x) means the value of y.

Step 2 - The value of g(x) is positive when the graph of g(x) is in the first or in the second quadrant.

Step 3 - So, according to the graph function g(x) is positive when the value of x is in between -3 and 5.

Therefore, the correct option is 3).

A polling agency is investigating the voter support for a ballot measure in an upcoming city election. The agency will select a random sample of 500 voters from one region, Region A, of the city. Assume that the population proportion of voters who would support the ballot measure in Region A is 0.47. What is the probability that the proportion of voters in the sample of Region A who support the ballot measure is greater than 0.50

Answers

Answer:

The value is  [tex]P( X > 0.50) = 0.089264[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The sample size is  n =  500

   The  population proportion is  p =  0.47  

     

Generally given that the sample size is sufficiently large , the mean of this sampling distribution is mathematically represented as

        [tex]\mu_x = p = 0.47[/tex]

Generally the standard deviation of the sampling distribution is mathematically represented as

       [tex]\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{p(1- p )}{ n} }[/tex]

=>     [tex]\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{ 0.47 (1-0.47 )}{ 500 } }[/tex]

=>     [tex]\sigma = 0.0223[/tex]

Gnerally the probability that the proportion of voters in the sample of Region A who support the ballot measure is greater than 0.50 is mathematically represented as

          [tex]P( X > 0.50) = P( \frac{ X - \mu }{ \sigma } > \frac{ 0.50 - 0.47 }{ 0.0223 } )[/tex]

[tex]\frac{X -\mu}{\sigma }  =  Z (The  \ standardized \  value\  of  \ X )[/tex]

=>        [tex]P( X > 0.50) = P( Z> 1.3453 )[/tex]

From the z table  the area under the normal curve to the left corresponding to  1.3453   is

          [tex]P( Z> 1.3453 ) = 0.089264[/tex]

So  

          [tex]P( X > 0.50) = 0.089264[/tex]

Using the normal distribution and the central limit theorem, it is found that there is a 0.0901 = 9.01% probability that the proportion of voters in the sample of Region A who support the ballot measure is greater than 0.50.

In a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

It measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean.  

After finding the z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score, which is the percentile of X.

By the Central Limit Theorem, the sampling distribution of sample proportions of size n of a proportion p has [tex]\mu = p, s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}[/tex]

In this problem:

Sample of 500 voters, hence [tex]n = 500[/tex].The proportion is of 0.47, hence [tex]p = 0.47[/tex]

The mean and the standard deviation are:

[tex]\mu = p = 0.47[/tex]

[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}} = \sqrt{\frac{0.47(0.53)}{500}} = 0.0223[/tex]

The probability that the proportion of voters in the sample of Region A who support the ballot measure is greater than 0.50 is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 0.5, hence:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

By the Central Limit Theorem

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{0.5 - 0.47}{0.0223}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.34[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.34[/tex] has a p-value of 0.9099.

1 - 0.9099 = 0.0901

0.0901 = 9.01% probability that the proportion of voters in the sample of Region A who support the ballot measure is greater than 0.50.

The equation of the line passing from the given points is y = -5x/2-1

What is an equation?

An equation is a mathematical statement that shows that two mathematical expressions are equal.

Given that, a line is passing through two points (-2, 4) and (0 -1)

We know that, the equation of a line passing through two points is given by,

y-y₁ = (y₂-y₁/x₂-x₁)(x-x₁)

Therefore,

y-4 = (-1-4)/(0+2)(x+2)

y-4 = -5/2(x+2)

y = -5x/2-5+4

y = -5x/2-1

Hence, The equation of the line passing from the given points is y = -5x/2-1

42 = 2 x 3 x 7

12 = 2 x 2 x 3

Now, let's find the common factors:

The common factors are 2 and 3.
