Exercise: 6.68 'Cat Owners': According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, 30% of Americans own a cat. Find the probability that exactly 2 out of 8 randomly selected ­Americans own a cat. In a random sample of 8 Americans, find the probability that more than 3 own a cat.

Answers

Answer 1

Using the binomial distribution, it is found that there is a:

0.2965 = 29.65% probability that exactly 2 out of 8 randomly selected ­Americans own a cat.0.4482 = 44.82% probability that more than 3 own a cat.

What is the binomial distribution formula?

The formula is:

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

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

The parameters are:

x is the number of successes.n is the number of trials.p is the probability of a success on a single trial.

In this problem, we have that:

30% of Americans own a cat, hence p = 0.3.A sample of 8 Americans is taken, hence n = 8.

The probability that exactly 2 out of 8 randomly selected ­Americans own a cat is P(X = 2), hence:

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

[tex]P(X = 2) = C_{8,2}.(0.3)^{2}.(0.7)^{6} = 0.2965[/tex]

0.2965 = 29.65% probability that exactly 2 out of 8 randomly selected ­Americans own a cat.

The probability that more than 3 own a cat is given by:

[tex]P(X > 3) = 1 - P(X \leq 2)[/tex]

In which:

[tex]P(X \leq 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2)[/tex]

Hence:

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

[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{8,0}.(0.3)^{0}.(0.7)^{8} = 0.0576[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 1) = C_{8,1}.(0.3)^{1}.(0.7)^{7} = 0.1977[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 2) = C_{8,2}.(0.3)^{2}.(0.7)^{6} = 0.2965[/tex]

Then:

[tex]P(X \leq 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) = 0.0576 + 0.1977 + 0.2965 = 0.5518[/tex]

[tex]P(X > 3) = 1 - P(X \leq 2) = 1 - 0.5518 = 0.4482[/tex]

0.4482 = 44.82% probability that more than 3 own a cat.

Find the equation of the tangent to the circle x2 + y2 = 109 at point (-10,3)

Answers

Answer:

10x - 3y = -109 .

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 + y^2 = 109

Implicit Differentiation:

2x + 2y.y' = 0

y' = -2x/2y = -x/y

So at the point (-10,3) the gradient of the tangent is -(-10)/3 = 10/3.

Equation of the tangent:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 3 = 10/3(x + 10)

y - 3 = 10/3 x + 100/3

3y - 9 = 10x + 100

-109 + 3y = 10x

10x - 3y = -109

The area of a rectangular field is 1.12×10^45 square feet. If the length of the field is 7×10^11 feet, and the width of the field can be written as 1.6×10x feet, what is the value of x?

Answers

Answer:

x = 10^34

Step-by-step explanation:

length × width = area

area/length = width

width = (1.12 × 10^45 ft²)/(7 × 10^11 ft)

width = 1.12/7 × (10^45)/(10^11)   ft

width = 0.16 × 10^34  ft

width = 1.6 × 10^34  ft

width = 1.6 × x  ft

x = 10^34

The value of x is [tex]10^3^2[/tex]  or [tex]\rm x =10^3^2[/tex]

It is given that the area of a rectangular field is  [tex]\rm 1.12\times10^4^5 \ feet^2[/tex]

It is required to find the value of x

What is the area of the rectangle?

It is defined as the space occupied by the rectangle which is planner 2-dimensional geometry.

The formula for finding the area of a rectangle is given by:

Area of rectangle = length × width

We have:

Area of rectangle = [tex]\rm 1.12\times10^4^5 \ feet^2[/tex]

The length of the rectangle = [tex]7\times 10^1^1[/tex] feet

The width of the rectangle = [tex]\rm 1.6\times 10x[/tex] feet

After putting the values in the formula, we get:

[tex]\rm 1.12\times10^4^5 =7\times 10^1^1\times\rm 1.6\times 10x[/tex]

[tex]\rm x =\frac{1.12\times10^4^5}{7\times 10^1^1\times\rm 1.6\times 10} \\[/tex]

[tex]\rm x =\frac{1.12\times10^4^5}{7\times 10^1^1\times\rm 1.6\times 10} \\\\\rm x = 0.1\times 10^3^3[/tex]

[tex]\rm x =10^3^2[/tex]

Thus, the value of x is [tex]10^3^2[/tex]

Let the unknown be x and y..

Since you need 3 sticks of butter for every 24 giant cookies you back

Then 24/3 = 8

Since the number of cookies is 16 then 16/8 = 2

Thus x = 2

Next for y.

Since you need 3 sticks of butter for every 24 giant cookies you back

Then 5 * 8 = 40

Thus, y = 40
