Determine whether the following individual events are independent or dependent. Then find the probability of the combined event. Randomly selecting a four-person committee consisting entirely of Canadians from a pool of 16 Americans and 13 Canadians.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Here we have four individual events.

First selection, second selection, third selection and fourth selection.

Where initially, the options are 16 Americans and 13 Canadians.

Now, to see if the events are dependent or independent.

Suppose that in the first selection, an American is selected.

Then the second selection has 15 Americans and 13 Canadians as options.

Now, if in the first selection, a Canadian is selected.

Then in the second selection, the options will be 16 Americans and 12 Canadians.

Then the events are not independent.

Now we want to find the probability of randomly selecting a four-person committee consisting entirely of Canadians from a pool of 16 Americans and 13 Canadians

The probability of randomly selecting a Canadian is equal to the quotient between the number of Canadians, and the total number of postulants.

For the first selection, we have 13 Canadians, and 29 people in total, then the probability is:

P1 = 13/29.

Suppose that a Canadian is selected, now there are 12 Canadians and 28 people in total, then the probability for the second selection is:

P2 = 12/28

with the same reasoning as above, the probabilities for the third and fourth selections will be:

P3 = 11/27

P4 = 10/26.

The joint probability will be equal to the product of the individual probabilities, this is:

P = P1*P2*P3*P4 = (13/29)*(12/28)*(11/27)*(10/26) = 0.03

Step-by-step explanation:

use the formula y=mx+ c to work out the value ofy when m=8 x=3 c=4

Answers

Answer:

m =  21 = 2

b = 1 (value of y when x=0)

So: y = 2x + 1

With that equation you can now ...

... choose any value for x and find the matching value for y

For example, when x is 1:

y = 2×1 + 1 = 3

Check for yourself that x=1 and y=3 is actually on the line.

Or we could choose another value for x, such as 7:

y = 2×7 + 1 = 15

And so when x=7 you will have y=15

Positive or Negative Slope?

Going from left-to-right, the cyclist has to Push on a Positive Slope:

negative slope   zero slope   positive slope

Example 2

y=-3x graph

m =  −31 = −3

b = 0

This gives us y = −3x + 0

We do not need the zero!

So: y = −3x

 

Example 3: Vertical Line

graph x=2

What is the equation for a vertical line?

The slope is undefined ... and where does it cross the Y-Axis?

In fact, this is a special case, and you use a different equation, not "y=...", but instead you use "x=...".

Like this:

x = 1.5

Every point on the line has x coordinate 1.5,

that is why its equation is x = 1.5

Rise and Run

rise and run

Sometimes the words "rise" and "run" are used.

Rise is how far up

Run is how far along

And so the slope "m" is:

m =  riserun

You might find that easier to remember.

Plug [tex] y = \frac{-21}{29}[/tex] in above equation.

[tex] x^2 + \bigg( \frac{-21}{29}\bigg)^2 = 1\\\\

x^2 + \frac{441}{841} = 1\\\\

x^2 = 1-\frac{441}{841}\\\\

x^2 = \frac{841-441}{841}\\\\

x^2 = \frac{400}{841}\\\\

x =\pm\sqrt{ \frac{400}{841}}\\\\

x =\pm\frac{20}{29}\\\\

The scores for all high school seniors taking the verbal section of the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) in a particular year had a mean of 490 and a standard deviation of 100. The distribution of SAT scores is bell-shaped.

What percentage of seniors scored between 390 and 590 on this SAT test?

Answers

Answer:

The value is  [tex]P( 390 < X < 590) = 68.3 \%[/tex]    

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The mean is  [tex]\mu = 490[/tex]

    The standard deviation is  [tex]\sigma = 100[/tex]

   

Generally the proportion of seniors scored between 390 and 590 on this SAT test is mathematically represented as

     [tex]P( 390 < X < 590) = P( \frac{390 - 490 }{100} < \frac{\= x - \mu }{\sigma} < \frac{590 - 490 }{ 100} )[/tex]

[tex]\frac{X -\mu}{\sigma }  =  Z (The  \ standardized \  value\  of  \ X )[/tex]

    [tex]P( 390 < X < 590) = P( -1 < Z < 1 )[/tex]

=>  [tex]P( 390 < X < 590) = P(Z< 1 ) - P(Z < - 1 )[/tex]

From the z table  the area under the normal curve to the left corresponding to  1 and  -1  is  

[tex]P(Z< 1 ) = 0.84134[/tex]

and

[tex]P(Z< - 1 ) = 0.15866[/tex]  

   [tex]P( 390 < X < 590) =0.84134 - 0.15866[/tex]

=> [tex]P( 390 < X < 590) = 0.6827[/tex]

Generally the percentage of seniors scored between 390 and 590 on this SAT test is mathematically represented as

=> [tex]P( 390 < X < 590) = 0.6827 *100[/tex]    

=> [tex]P( 390 < X < 590) = 68.3 \%[/tex]
