According to the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, approximately 7% of U.S. children 4 years of age or younger have a food allergy. A day care program has capacity for 8 children in that age range. Assume that the children attending the day care program are independent. Let the random variable X be the number of children in this day care who have a food allergy. What is the probability that one of the eight children has a food allergy

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

0.337 = 33.7% probability that one of the eight children has a food allergy.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each children, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they have a food allergy, or they do not. The probability of a child having food allergy is independent of any other child. This means that we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

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

In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

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

And p is the probability of X happening.

7% of U.S. children 4 years of age or younger have a food allergy.

This means that [tex]p = 0.07[/tex]

A day care program has capacity for 8 children in that age range.

This means that [tex]n = 8[/tex]

What is the probability that one of the eight children has a food allergy?

This is P(X = 1).

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

[tex]P(X = 1) = C_{8,1}.(0.07)^{1}.(0.93)^{7} = 0.337[/tex]

0.337 = 33.7% probability that one of the eight children has a food allergy.

Answers

Answer:

t=14

v=13

q=12

s=23

w=-4

x=28

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that the universal set =100

so, everything in it must add up to 100

first, from the information given to us,

t= n(A n C)= 14

v=n(B n C)= 13

to find q

we know from our guide that n(A) =40

which means everything inside A will add up to 40

therefore,

q + 7 + 7 + t = 40

and we already know that t = 14

so, that will be;

q + 7 + 7 + 14 = 40

therefore, q = 12

to find s,

we all know that n(B) = 50

which means that everything inside B will be equal to 50

therefore,

s + 7 + 7 + v = 50

and we know that v = 13

therefore,

s + 7 + 7 + 13 = 50

and s will end up to be = 23

to find w,

we know that n(C) = 30

so, everything in C end up to be all equal to 30

therefore,

t + 7 + w + v = 30

from our solution, t = 14, v = 13

so,

14 + 7 + w

q = 19, s = 30, t = 7, v = 6, w = 10, x = 7.

What is a set ?

A set is a collection of well defined objects.

According to the given question of Venn diagram given,

n(U) = 100, n(A∩B) = 14, n(A) = 40, n(B∩C) = 13, n(B) = 50, n(A∩C) = 14, n(C) = 30 and n(A∩B∩C) = 7.

t =   n(A∩C) - n(A∩B∩C).

t = 14 - 7

= 7.

q = n(A) - [  n(A∩B) + t ]

q = 40 - ( 14 + 7 )

q = 40 - 21

q = 19.

v = n(B∩C) - n(A∩B∩C)

v = 13 - 7

v = 6.

s =  n(B) - [ n(A∩B) + v ]

s = 50 - ( 14 + 6 )

s = 30.

w =  n(C) - [ n(A∩C) + v ]

w = 30 - ( 14 + 6 )

w = 10.

We know x = n(U) - q - s - w - n(A∩B) - n(B∩C) - n(A∩C) +  n(A∩B∩C).

x = 100 - 19 - 30 - 10 - 14 - 13 - 14 + 7.

x = 7.

D:The growth of an exponential function is proportional to the quadratic growth while the growth of a linear function is constant.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the growth of a linear function will always be constant. So, that eliminates B and C.

A quadratic function can be a function such as [tex]x^2[/tex], or [tex]5x^2+7x[/tex], etc.

An exponential function wouldn't be [tex]x^2[/tex], it would be [tex]2^x[/tex]! Or [tex]3^x[/tex], or [tex](1.738283)^x[/tex], etc. Therefore, D is eliminated.

Set the mean and standard deviation to 0 and 5 , respectively. Approximately 5% of the area under the normal curve lies to the right of 8.2 . Consider what would happen if you were to change the mean to 50 and keep the standard deviation at 5 . Can you predict the new value for which approximately 5% of the area under the normal curve lies to the right of this value? Enter your answer accurate to one decimal place.

Answers

Using z-scores and the normal distribution, it is found that the new value would be of 58.2.

In a normal distribution with mean and standard deviation , 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, which is the area to the left of Z under the normal curve.The area to the right of Z is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z.

In this problem:

Mean of 50 and standard deviation of 5, thus [tex]\mu = 50, \sigma = 5[/tex].Area to the right of 0.05, thus Z with a p-value of 1 - 0.05 = 0.95, thus [tex]Z = 1.645[/tex].

We have to find the value of X, then:

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

[tex]1.645 = \frac{X - 50}{5}[/tex]

[tex]X - 50 = 1.645(5)[/tex]

[tex]X = 58.2[/tex]

A student has scores of 66.75, 66, and 72.25 on his first three tests. He needs an average of at least 70 to earn a grade of C. What is the minimum score that the student needs on the fourth test to ensure a C?

Answers

Answer:

75

Step-by-step explanation:

Average needed to get grade C = 70

Average = Total Amount / No of Items.

No of items = 4

therefore Total needed = 70 x 4 = 280

current total score = 66.75 + 66 + 72.25 = 205

the fourth test minimum score = 280 - 205 = 75
