Mr. and Mrs. Doran have a genetic history such that the probability that a child being
born to them with a certain trait is 0.61. If they have four children, what is the
probability that at most two of their four children will have that trait? Round your
answer to the nearest thousandth.

Answers

Answer 1

Using the binomial distribution, it is found that there is a 0.011 = 1.1% probability that exactly one of their four children will have that trait.

For each children, there are only two possible outcomes, either they have the trait, or they do not. The probability of a children having the trait is independent of any other children, hence, the binomial distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

[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:

85% probability of a children having the trait, hence [tex]p=0.85[/tex].They have four children, hence [tex]n=4[/tex]

The probability is P(X = 1), hence:

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

[tex]P(X=1)=C_{4,1*}(0.85)^1.(0.15)^3=0.011[/tex]

0.011 = 1.1% probability that exactly one of their four children will have that trait.

[tex]x + y = -2\\x-y=8[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

3 is the [tex]x[/tex], and -5 is the [tex]y[/tex].

1) Create two equations that add and subtract them.

[tex]x + y = -2\\x-y=8[/tex]

2) Check whether you get the same answer (3,-5) or not. To do so, you need to solve them simultaneously using the elimination or substitution method. I will demonstrate using the substitution method.

[tex]x = -2 - y\\x-y=8\\(-2 - y) -y =8\\-2-2y=8\\-2y = 8 + 2\\-2y = 10\\y = \frac{10}{-2} \\y = -5[/tex]

To find [tex]x[/tex], substitute the result into one of the two equations. I choose [tex]x+y=-2[/tex].

if you were to flip the coin 15, how many times will the coin land on tails based on experimental probability? jordan flipped a count of 45 times.His result are below: heads: 24 tails: 21

Answers

Answer:

It will land 7.5 times on tails, which is rounded up to 8 times

Step-by-step explanation:

there are 2 possibilities, heads or tails

so you divide 15 in 2 and get 7.5

The coin will land 7 times tail based on the experimental probability.

What is Probability?

Probability refers to potential. A random event's occurrence is the subject of this area of mathematics.

The range of the value is 0 to 1. Mathematics has incorporated probability to forecast the likelihood of various events.

The degree to which something is likely to happen is basically what probability means.

Given:

When the coin tossed 45 times.

Head= 24, tail = 21

So, fraction of appearing tail will be

= 21 / 45

= 0.466667

Now, if the coin tossed 15 times then the coin land on tails

= 15 x 0.466667

= 7

Here, the base is divided into parts, but their total length is 5m+9m = 14m. The height is given as 8m, so the area is ...

  A = (14 m)(8 m) = 112 m²

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

7 times 5 equals 35. Even though the two numbers are positive, the product will be negative, because a negative times a negative equals a positive. A negative times a negative will equal a positive because what was originally negative has been reversed in direction.

So, the answer is 35.

In 1977, the price of a scientific
calculator was $175. In 2004, the
price was $15. Assuming the change
in price was linear, what was the
approximate price of a scientific
calculator in 1998?

Answers

First, we need to find how many years are in between 1977 and 2004:
2004-1977 = 27

And the different between the prices:
175-15 = $160

Since this is supposed to be linear, we can do 160/27 which is about 5.925.

We can round this out to be about $6 cheaper per year, or $5.90.

New Berlin Corporation has annual fixed costs of $800,000, variable costs of $48 per unit, and a contribution margin ratio of 40 percent.



a. Compute the unit sales price and unit contribution margin for the above product.

b. Compute the sales volume in units required for New Berlin Corporation to earn an operating income of $600,000.

c. Compute the dollar sales volume required for New Berlin Corporation to earn an operating income of $600,000.

Answers

Based on the variable costs and contribution margin, the unit sales price is $80 and the unit contribution margin is $32.

The sales volume in units needed to earn $600,000 is 43,750 units and the amount in dollar sales needed is $3,500,000.

What is the unit sales price and unit contribution margin?

The unit sales price can be found as:

= Variable cost / (1 - contribution margin ratio)

= 48 / (1 - 40%)

= $80

Unit contribution margin is:
= Selling price x Contribution margin ratio

= 80 x 40%
= $32

What is the sales volume required to earn $600,000?

In units, this amount is:
= (Fixed cost + income required) / Contribution margin

= (800,000 + 600,000) / 32

= 43,750 units

In dollar terms the amount needed is:

= Units needed x selling price

= 43,750 x 80

= $3,500,000

8. When solving the equation (2 - x)(x + 1) = 11, Priya graphs y=(2 - x)(x + 1) - 11 and then looks to find where the graph crosses the x-axis.
Tyler looks at her work and says that graphing is unnecessary and Priya can set up the equations 2 - x = 11 and x + 1 = 11, the solutions
are x = -9 or x = 10.
A) Do you agree with Tyler?

yes
no

Answers

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

Tyler is incorrect. The only way you can set individual terms equal to the result is when the result is zero. This is due to zero times anything equalling zero. If one of the terms equals zero, then the other term does not matter because the whole thing will be zero. Let's say:

[tex](2 - x)(x + 1) = 0[/tex]

If the first term equals zero, the entire left side is zero. For Priya's case, the right side is not zero, it is 11. If one term is 11, the other term will contribute. You can check this by plugging in Tyler's solutions. The correct way to solve this equation is to use FOIL on the two terms, then subtract 11 on both sides to get zero. Then use the quadratic formula.
