In Australia, 16% of the adult population is near-sighted. If three Australians are chosen at random, what is the probability that (a) two are nearsighted and one is not

Answers

Answer 1

Probabilities are used to determine the chances of events

The probability that  two are nearsighted and one is not, is 0.0645

How to determine the probability

The given parameters are:

n = 3 -- the number of Australians selected

r = 2 --- the number that are nearsighted

p = 16% --- the proportion that are nearsighted.

The probability that  two are nearsighted and one is not, is calculated using the following binomial probability formula

[tex]P(x = r) = ^nC_r * p^r * (1 -p)^{n-r}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]P(x = 2) = ^3C_2 * (16\%)^2 * (1 -16\%)^{3-2}[/tex]

[tex]P(x = 2) = 0.0645[/tex]

Hence, the probability that  two are nearsighted and one is not, is 0.0645

OP - Operations with Polynomials Discussion

Let's say we are given three functions with the same domain.

a(x),
b(x), and
c(x), where c(x) = a(x) + b(x)
Each function has a maximum value (doesn't go to infinity, but rather stops at a maximum point).

S = the maximum value of a(x),
T = the maximum value of b(x), and
R = the maximum value of c(x).
Could there be a scenario where S + T = R for all cases? Is this always the case?

In this discussion, we will not fully answer the question (at first) but rather help each other come to a conclusion by posting an original argument of a case where S + T = R or a case where S + T ≠ R.

You must fully explain your case with equations or a picture using a graphing calculator (Links to an external site.).

Answers

Explanation:

S + T = R

Suppose we define ...

  a(x) = 2x, for 0 ≤ x ≤ 1

  b(x) = x^2, for 0 ≤ x ≤ 1

Then we have the following:

  c(x) = a(x) +b(x) = 2x +x^2, for 0 ≤ x ≤ 1

  S = max(a(x)) = a(1) = 2

  T = max(b(x)) = b(1) = 1

  R = max(c(x)) = c(1) = 2 +1 = 3

This value of R satisfies S + T = R.

We note that for x=p=1, we have S = a(p), T = b(p), and R = c(p). The first attachment illustrates this case.

__

S + T ≠ R

Suppose we define ...

  a(x) = x, for 0 ≤ x ≤ 1

  b(x) = 1 -x^2, for 0 ≤ x ≤ 1

  c(x) = a(x) +b(x) = x + 1 -x^2, for 0 ≤ x ≤ 1

Then we have the following:

  S = max(a(x)) = a(1) = 1

  T = max(b(x)) = b(0) = 1

  R = max(c(x)) = c(0.5) = 1.25 ≠ 1 + 1 = 2

This value of R does not satisfy S + T = R.

We note that for p, q, r we have S = a(p), T = b(q), R = c(r) and p≠q≠r. The second attachment illustrates this case.

What is a Ratio?

A contrast, which exists between two particular numbers, is defined as ratio. Our ratio calculator is developed to compute this contrast and find out the relationship between these numbers.

How to Calculate Ratios

In order to keep numbers in direct relation you should first divide or multiply, which depends on your task, them in the ratio. Therefore, a ratio of 8/6 is an equivalent ratio of 4/3: in that particular ratio calculation, you should just multiply 4, as well as 3, by 2.

the radius of a circle is 9 times of the radius of a smaller circle. the area of the smaller circle is 50 square cenimeters. what is the area of the larger circle​

Answers

Answer:

4050 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a question of scale factors:

The radius of the larger circle is 9× that of the smaller circle;

This is the linear scale factor of the enlargement of the smaller to larger circle;

The scale factor of the area pertains to 2 dimensions so the scale factor will be the square of the linear scale factor, which is:
9² = 81

The area of the larger circle is found by the area of the smaller circle multiplied by this number:
50 × 81 = 4050

Whats the zeros and the vertex !

Answers

Answer:

The vertex is (0,3), and the zeroes are at -1 and -7

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the function is going upward, the vertex is the minimum value

So the vertex is (0,3)

The zeros of a function are where the function touches the x-axis, or when y is 0.

We can find the zeros by making y (or f(x)) 0.

(x+4)^2-9=0

x^2+8x+16-9=0

x^2+8x+7=0

Factoring

(x+1)(x+7)=0

The zeroes are at -1 and -7.

Find the value of X

Answers

Answer:

x = 155°

Step-by-step explanation:

most left upper angle = 180° - 35° - 90° = 55°

inner middle top angle = 180° - 60° - 55° = 65°

inner middle has right angle, that is 90°

inner middle bottom angle is then, 180 - 90° - 65° = 25°

then as x lies on a straight line with 25°

x + 25° = 180°

x = 180° - 25°

x = 155°

The value of x is 155° .

Sum of all the angles on a line is 180°.

My sister and ate some of a chocolate bar she had 1/4 and I had 5/8 how much of the chocolate bar did we eat

Answers

Answer:

7/8

Step-by-step explanation:

1/4 times 2/2 = 2/8. you would have to do this because the only way you can add fractions is if they have the same denominator. so 2/8 + 5/8= 7/8

Answer:

You ate 7/8 of the chocolate bar.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to change 1/4 and 5/8 so that they have the same denominators (bottom numbers).

There's a common multiple of 8.

What you do to the bottom needs to be done to the top.

1 x 8 = 8

1 x 5 = 5

5/8

Your amount of chocolate stays the same.

4 x 2 = 8

1 x 2 = 2

2/8 is how much the sister had,

Finally, add the two fractions together.

2/8 + 5/8 = 7/8

You ate 7/8 of the chocolate bar.
