2. Suppose that you are looking for a student at your college who lives within five miles of you. You know that 55% of the 25,000 students do live within five miles of you. You randomly contact students from the college until one says he or she lives within five miles of you.

(a) What is the probability that you need to contact four people?

(b) How many students from the college you expect to contact until you find one lives within five miles of you?

(C) What is the standard deviation of the number of students to be contacted until one says who lives within five miles of you?

(d) Suppose you randomly ask 5 students at your college, what is the probability that 3 of them live within five miles of you?

(e) Suppose you randomly ask 5 students at your college, what is the expected number of students who live within five miles of you?​

Answers

Answer 1

Using the binomial distribution, it is found that:

a) There is a 0.0501 = 5.01% probability that you need to contact four people.

b) You expect to contact 1.82 students until you find one who lives within five miles of you.

c) The standard deviation is of 1.22 students.

d) 0.3369 = 33.69% probability that 3 of them live within five miles of you.

e) It is expected that 2.75 students live within five miles of you.

For each student, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they live within 5 miles of you, or they do not. The probability of a student living within 5 miles of you is independent of any other student, which means that 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:

55% live within five miles, hence [tex]p = 0.55[/tex].

Item a:

This probability is P(X = 0) when n = 3(none of the first three) multiplied by 0.55(the fourth does live within five miles), hence:

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

[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{3,0}.(0.55)^{0}.(0.45)^{3} = 0.091125[/tex]

[tex]p = 0.091125(0.55) = 0.0501[/tex]

0.0501 = 5.01% probability that you need to contact four people.

Item b:

The expected number of trials in the binomial distribution until q successes is given by:

[tex]E = \frac{q}{p}[/tex]

In this problem, [tex]p = 0.55[/tex], and 1 trial, thus [tex]q = 1[/tex], hence:

[tex]E = \frac{1}{0.55} = 1.82[/tex]

You expect to contact 1.82 students until you find one who lives within five miles of you.

Item c:

The standard deviation of the number of trials until q successes are found is given by:

[tex]S = \frac{\sqrt{q(1 - p)}}{p}[/tex]

Hence:

[tex]S = \frac{\sqrt{0.45}}{0.55} = 1.22[/tex]

The standard deviation is of 1.22 students.

Item d:

This probability is P(X = 3) when n = 5, hence:

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

[tex]P(X = 3) = C_{5,3}.(0.55)^{3}.(0.45)^{2} = 0.3369[/tex]

0.3369 = 33.69% probability that 3 of them live within five miles of you.

Item e:

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

[tex]E(X) = np[/tex]

Hence:

[tex]E(X) = 5(0.55) = 2,75[/tex]

It is expected that 2.75 students live within five miles of you.

Slope = change in y/change in x

Slope = 5-3/1-x

2 = 2/1-x

2(1 - x) = 2

2 - 2x = 2

2 = 2 - 2x

The admission fee at a local zoo is $1.50 for children and $3.00 for adults. On a certain day, 2400 people enter the zoo and $4,800.00 is collected. How many children and how many adults?​

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

c = children

a = adults

2200 people enter the zoo mean :

c + a = 2200

$4,550.00 is collected mean :

1.5 c + 4 a = 4550

Now you must solve system:

c + a = 2200

1.5 c + 4 a = 4550

c + a = 2200 Subtract c to both sides

c + a - c = 2200 - c

a = 2200 - c

1.5 c + 4 a = 4550

1.5 c + 4 ( 2200 - c ) = 4550

1.5 * c + 4 * 2200 - 4 c = 4550

1.5 * c + 8800 - 4 c = 4550

- 2.5 c + 8800 = 4550 Subtract 8800 to both sides

- 2.5 c + 8800 - 8800 = 4550 - 8800

- 2.5 c = - 4250 Divide both sides by - 2.5

c = - 4250 / - 2.5

c = 1700

a = 2200 - c = 2200 - 1700 = 500

1700 children and 500 adults

Proof :

c + a = 1700 = 2200

$ 1.5 * c + $ 4 * a =

$ 1.5 * 1700 + $ 4 * 500 =

$ 2550 + $ 2000 = $ 4550

The number of children and the number of adults are 1600 and 800, respectively.

What is the solution to the equation?

The allocation of weights to the relevant variables that produce the calculation's optimum is referred to as a direct consequence.

A nearby zoo charges $1.50 for kids and $3.00 for adults to enter. 2400 persons visit the zoo on a certain day, and $4,800.00 is gathered.

Let x be the number of children and y be the number of adults. Then the equation is written as,

x + y = 2400           ...1

1.5x + 3y = 4800

x + 2y = 3200    ...2

Subtract equation 1 from equation 1, then

2y - y = 3200 - 2400

y = 800

Then the value of x is calculated as,

x + 800 = 2400

x = 2400 - 800

x = 1600

The number of children and the number of adults are 1600 and 800, respectively.
