1. 1.46% probability of obtaining x = 790 or more individuals with the characteristic

2. 7.49% probability of obtaining x =740 or fewer individuals with the characteristic

Step-by-step explanation:

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

E(X) = np

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

$\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}$

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score 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. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that $\mu = E(X)$ , $\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}$ .

In this problem, we have that:

n = 1000, p = 0.76

$\mu = E(X) = np = 1000*0.76 = 760$

$\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{1000*0.76*0.24} = 13.51$

1. What is the probability of obtaining x = 790 or more individuals with the characteristic?

Using continuity correction, this is $P(X \geq 790 - 0.5) = P(X \geq 789.5)$ , which is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 789.5. So

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{789.5 - 760}{13.51}$

Z = 2.18

Z = 2.18 has a pvalue of 0.9854

1 - 0.9854 = 0.0146

1.46% probability of obtaining x = 790 or more individuals with the characteristic.

2. What is the probability of obtaining x =740 or fewer individuals with the characteristic?

Using continuity correction, this is $P(X \leq 740 + 0.5) = P(X \leq 740.5)$ , which is the pvalue of Z when X = 740.5. So

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{740.5 - 760}{13.51}$

Z = -1.44

Z = -1.44 has a pvalue of 0.0749

7.49% probability of obtaining x =740 or fewer individuals with the characteristic

answer:

total cost for tiles and paints is $924.

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given that a community hall is in the shape of a cuboid. the hall is 40m long 15m high and 3m wide.

the paint will be required for 4 walls and ceiling.

let us find area of walls and ceiling.

$\text{area of walls and ceiling}=(2*40*15)+(2*3*15)+(40*3)$

$\text{area of walls and ceiling}=1200+90+120$

$\text{area of walls and ceiling}=1410$

therefore, the area of walls and ceiling is 1410 square meters.

given: cost for 10 litre of paint is $10 and 10 litre paint covers 25 square meter. therefore,

$\text{ the total painting cost}=10*(\frac{1410}{25})$

$\text{ the total painting cost}=10*56.4=564$

therefore, the total painting cost is $564.

tiles will be required for floor. let us find the area of floor.

$\text{area of floor} = 40*3\text{ square meters}$

$\text{area of floor} =120\text{ square meters}$

given: 1m squared floor tiles costs $3. so,

$\text{total cost for tiles} = 3*120 = 360$

therefore, the total tiles cost is $360.

now let us find combined total cost of tiles and paint.

$\text{combined total cost}= 564+360 = 924$

therefore, the combined total cost of tiles and paint is $924.

I've been working on this for a few days and i just don't understand, it's due in a few hours. you. the direction of a vector is defined as the angle of the vector in relation to a horizontal line. as a standard, this angle is measured counterclockwise from the positive x-axis. the direction or angle of v in the diagram is α. part a: how can you use trigonometric ratios to calculate the direction α of a general vector v = < x, y> similar to the diagram? part b suppose that vector v lies in quadrant ii, quadrant iii, or quadrant iv. how can you use trigonometric ratios to calculate the direction (i.e., angle) of the vector in each of these quadrants with respect to the positive x-axis? the angle between the vector and the positive x-axis will be greater than 90 degrees in each case. part c now try a numerical problem. what is the direction of the vector w = < -1, 6 > ?
