If a procedure meets all of the conditions of a binomial distribution except the number of trials is not​ fixed, then the geometric distribution can be used. The probability of getting the first success on the xth trial is given by ​
P(x) = p(1−p)x−1​
where p is the probability of success on any one trial. Subjects are randomly selected for a health survey. The probability that someone is a universal donor​ (with group O and type Rh negative​ blood) is 0.15. Find the probability that the first subject to be a universal blood donor is the fifth person selected.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

0.0783

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of getting the first success on xtg trial ; this is a geometric distribution :

P(x) = p(1−p)^x−1

The probability of being a universal donor , p = 0.15

The probability of obtaining someone who is a universal donor on 5th trial will be :

P(5) = 0.15(1 - 0.15)^(5 - 1)

P(5) = 0.15(0.85)^4

P(5) = 0.15(0.52200625)

P(5) = 0.0783009375

P(5) = 0.0783

4x-9=6-9

Answers

Answer:

x = 1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

First, calculate 6-9, which is -3.

Then we add 9 on both sides so that on the left, we only have 4x, and on the right, we have 6.

Then divide by 4 on both sides to get x = 1.5

X=-3
4x=6-9+9
4x=6
X=6/4
X=1.5

Provide three quality points for dairy and eggs which indicate quality and freshness? Provide three quality points for dry goods that indicate quality and freshness?
Describe five ways you could increase the nutritional value of classical and contemporary cakes, pastries and bread or their filling?

Answers

Answer:

Find the definitions and points below.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Food Handling refers to any of the stages in the preparation, storage, transportation, packaging, and delivery of food.

2. Utensils are those vessels and tools that are used to carry, cut, stir, and store items and ingredients required in food preparation.

3.  Three quality points for dairy and eggs which indicate quality and freshness are;

a. Smell: A decaying and pungent smell indicates a lack of quality.

b. Color: An abnormal color with physical signs of rottenness shows a lack of quality.

c. The sinking test is used to check for the freshness of eggs. If an egg sinks when put in a glass of water, it is a sign of freshness. If it floats, it is an indication of decay.

4. Three quality points for dry goods that indicate quality and freshness:

Moisture: The presence of moisture in dry food shows a lack of quality.

Weight: Heaviness might be an indication that one coconut is better than another.

Texture: A dry food that is sticky might indicate a lack of freshness. Smoothness, crunchiness, hardness, and toughness are other qualities to look out for.

5. Five ways I could increase the nutritional value of pastries include

1. Using fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients free from contamination will guarantee that foods with good nutritional values are produced.

2. Preparing them in a hygienic environment: A hygienic environment will prevent food poisoning by bacteria and other contaminants.

3. Using proper measurements: When the right measurements are used in the preparation of pastries a balanced snack is produced.

4. Good preservation techniques: The right preservation techniques will prevent food spoilage.

5. Good packaging and wrapping: These will prevent exposure of the food to moisture, rodents, and other unwanted factors. Thus, the nutritional value is preserved.

Answers

Answer:

FALSE

Step-by-step explanation:

The regression equation is a prediction model which is generated for a given independent, x and dependent, y variable. The regression model is usually ideal when both the dependent and independent variables are numerical. The regression equation cannot be generated if either the x or y value is non-numeric. In such situation, classification models may be better suited for such cases especially if there is no efficient method of converting the non-numeric column into a numeric variable.

N = 9
Identify the variable:
Identify the median:
Identify the mean:
How would you describe the shape of the distribution:

Answers

Answer:

(a) Residents

(b) [tex]Median = 0.13[/tex]

(c)  [tex]\bar x = 0.14[/tex]

(d) Right skewed

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The data of residents without health insurance

Solving (a): The variable

The variable is the residents

Solving (b): The median

First, we sort the data

[tex]Sorted: 0.09, 0.10, 0.11, 0.13, 0.13, 0.14, 0.16, 0.19, 0.25[/tex]

So, the median position is:

[tex]Median = \frac{n + 1}{2}[/tex]

[tex]Median = \frac{9 + 1}{2}[/tex]

[tex]Median = \frac{10}{2}[/tex]

[tex]Median = 5th[/tex]

The 5th element of the dataset is: 0.13

So:

[tex]Median = 0.13[/tex]

Solving (c): The mean

This is calculated as:

[tex]\bar x = \frac{\sum x}{n}[/tex]

[tex]\bar x = \frac{0.09+ 0.10+ 0.11+ 0.13+ 0.13+ 0.14+ 0.16+ 0.19+ 0.25}{9}[/tex]

[tex]\bar x = \frac{1.3}{9}[/tex]

[tex]\bar x = 0.14[/tex]

Solving (d): The shape of the distribution

In (b) and (c), we have:

[tex]Median = 0.13[/tex]

[tex]\bar x = 0.14[/tex]

By comparison, the mean is greater than the median.

Hence, the shape is: right skewed.

Answer:

  (a)  the graph is positive on (-6, -2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The roots, left to right, are ...

  -6, -2, 0, 4

The odd-multiplicity roots, where the sign changes, are ...

  -6, -2, 4

The function is negative to the left of -6, and positive to the right of +4. It is positive on the interval (-6, -2) and negative on the intervals (-2, 0) and (0, 4).

Step-by-step explanation:

First let's work out the multiplier:

6 + 5 + 2 = 13.

61/2 = 30.5

- so the multiplier is 30.5/13 = 2.34615

The longest piece refers to the 6 in the ratio its length

A bottle maker believes that 23% of his bottles are defective. If the bottle maker is accurate, what is the probability that the proportion of defective bottles in a sample of 602 bottles would differ from the population proportion by less than 4%

Answers

Answer:

0.9802 = 98.02% probability that the proportion of defective bottles in a sample of 602 bottles would differ from the population proportion by less than 4%

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal Probability Distribution

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set 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]

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 p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean [tex]\mu = p[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}[/tex]

A bottle maker believes that 23% of his bottles are defective.

This means that [tex]p = 0.23[/tex]

Sample of 602 bottles

This means that [tex]n = 602[/tex]

Mean and standard deviation:

[tex]\mu = p = 0.23[/tex]

[tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}} = \sqrt{\frac{0.23*0.77}{602}} = 0.0172[/tex]

What is the probability that the proportion of defective bottles in a sample of 602 bottles would differ from the population proportion by less than 4%?

p-value of Z when X = 0.23 + 0.04 = 0.27 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 0.23 - 0.04 = 0.19.

X = 0.27

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

[tex]Z = \frac{0.27 - 0.23}{0.0172}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 2.33[/tex]

[tex]Z = 2.33[/tex] has a p-value of 0.9901

X = 0.19

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

[tex]Z = \frac{0.19 - 0.23}{0.0172}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -2.33[/tex]

[tex]Z = -2.33[/tex] has a p-value of 0.0099

0.9901 - 0.0099 = 0.9802

0.9802 = 98.02% probability that the proportion of defective bottles in a sample of 602 bottles would differ from the population proportion by less than 4%
