A recent study reported that the prevalence of hyperlipidemia (defined as total cholesterol over 200) is 30% in children 2-6 years of age. If 12 children are analyzed.

Required:
a. What is the probability that at least 3 are hyperlipidemic?
b. What is the probability that exactly 3 are hyperlipidemic?
c. How many would be expected to meet the criteria for hyperlipidemia?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) 0.7472

(b) 0.2397

(c) 3.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X denote the number of children who are hyperlipidemic.

The proportion of children who are hyperlipidemic is, p = 0.30.

A random sample of n = 12 children are analyzed.

Every child is independent of the others to be expected to meet the criteria for hyperlipidemia.

The random variable X follows a binomial distribution with parameters n = 12 and p = 0.30.

(a)

Compute the probability that at least 3 are hyperlipidemic as follows:

[tex]P(X\geq 3)=1-P(X<3)\\\\=1-\sum\limits^{2}_{0}{{12\choose x}(0.30)^{x}(0.70)^{12-x}}\\\\=1-0.25282\\\\=0.74718\\\\\approx 0.7472[/tex]

Thus, the probability that at least 3 are hyperlipidemic is 0.7472.

(b)

Compute the probability that exactly 3 are hyperlipidemic as follows:

[tex]P(X=3)={12\choose 3}(0.30)^{3}(0.70)^{12-3}\\\\=220\times 0.027\times 0.040353607\\\\=0.23970042558\\\\\approx 0.2397[/tex]

Thus, the probability that exactly 3 are hyperlipidemic is 0.2397.

(c)

Compute the expected number of children who would meet the criteria for hyperlipidemia as follows:

[tex]E(X)=np=12\times 0.30=3.6[/tex]

Thus, 3.6 children would be expected to meet the criteria for hyperlipidemia.

A cube has a volume of 216 cubic inches. What is the length of each edge of the cube?​

Answers

Answer:

Each side is 6 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem is not how to do the question. The problem is how to get your calculator to do the question.

V = s^3

s = ?

V = 216

So what you need is the cube root of 216

s^3 = 216

cube root(s^3) = cube root(216)

s = cube root 216

Your calculator should have a y^x or x ^y key.

Put in 216

Press the y^x key or the x^y key

Put in 0.33333333333

You should get something like 5.999999 which you should round to 6.

Explanation:

Quotient means 'the answer after dividing'.

If you get really stuck this is one (bit long) way of dealing with it.

Firstly lets for the moment forget about the negative and just deal with

-96÷12

Write as 96 12

Notice that both numbers are even so we can divide by 2

96÷2=48

12÷2=6

Again they are both even

48÷2=24

6÷2=3

The two digits of 24 are such that

2+4=6

and 6 is exactly divisible by 3 so 24 is also exactly divisible by 3. So now we can do this:

24÷3=8

3÷3=1

Now we put the negative back in giving −8

Write an equation in standard form for the line, where the points (-2, -1) and (0, 4) are on the line

Answers

Answer:

An equation in standard form for the line is:

[tex]\frac{5}{2}x-y=-4[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the points

(-2, -1) and (0, 4)

The slope between two points

[tex]\mathrm{Slope\:between\:two\:points}:\quad \mathrm{Slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

[tex]\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(-2,\:-1\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(0,\:4\right)[/tex]

[tex]m=\frac{4-\left(-1\right)}{0-\left(-2\right)}[/tex]

[tex]m=\frac{5}{2}[/tex]

Writing the equation in point-slope form

As the point-slope form of the line equation is defined by

[tex]y-y_1=m\left(x-x_1\right)[/tex]

Putting the point (-2, -1) and the slope m=1 in the line equation

[tex]y-\left(-1\right)=\frac{5}{2}\left(x-\left(-2\right)\right)[/tex]

[tex]y+1=\frac{5}{2}\left(x+2\right)[/tex]

[tex]y=\frac{5}{2}x+4[/tex]

Writing the equation in the standard form form

As we know that the equation in the standard form is

[tex]Ax+By=C[/tex]

where x and y are variables and A, B and C are constants

so

[tex]y=\frac{5}{2}x+4[/tex]

[tex]\frac{5}{2}x-y=-4[/tex]

Therefore, an equation in standard form for the line is:

[tex]\frac{5}{2}x-y=-4[/tex]

The rate of change of y with respect to x is proportional to y2. Write a differential equation for the statement. (Use k for the constant of proportionality.)

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\dfrac{dy}{dx}\ = ky_2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of change of y with respect to x is expressed as shown;

[tex]\dfrac{dy}{dx}[/tex]

If the rate of change of y with respect to x is proportional to y2, this is expressed as;

[tex]\dfrac{dy}{dx}\ \alpha \ y_2[/tex]

If we remove the proportionality sign, a proportionality constant will be introduced as shown;

[tex]\dfrac{dy}{dx}\ = ky_2[/tex]

where k is the constant of proportionality.

Hence the differential equation for the statement is expressed as [tex]\dfrac{dy}{dx}\ = ky_2[/tex]

4 hours worked for $12; 7 hrs worked for $28 are the pair of ratios equal?

Answers

Answer:

no they're not equal

Step-by-step explanation:

you can find the ratio by dividing 12/4 and 28/7. 12/4 = 3 and 28/7 = 4. 3 and 4 are not equal, so no.

Answer:

No, the pair of ratios are not equal

Explanation:

To see if the ratios are equal, we have to simplify the both of them. For the first one, it’s 12/4. That is equivalent to 3/1. This means she gets $3 for every hour. Now to the next one. The ratio is 28/7 and simplify that into 4/1. That means he gets $4 each hour. So they are different meaning the pair of ratios are not equal. Good luck on your test! Have a good day.

Order of Operations: BPEMDASExpand by FOIL (First Outside Inside Last)Standard Form: f(x) = ax² + bx + cVertex Form: f(x) = a(bx + c)² + d

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define function

f(x) = 3(x + 1)² - 2

Step 2: Find Standard Form

Expand by FOILing:                        f(x) = 3(x² + 2x + 1) - 2Distribute 3:                                     f(x) = 3x² + 6x + 3 - 2Combine like terms (constants):    f(x) = 3x² + 6x + 1
