Algebra.Com's Answer #798586 by Boreal(15235)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! 1. a. one breakdown is 35*0.06*0.94^34=0.2562 \n" ); document.write( "b. for < 3, look at 0, which has prob. .94^35=0.1147 and 2, which would be 35C2*0.06^2*0.94^33=0.2780 \n" ); document.write( "That sum is 0.6489, when the prob. of 1 is included. \n" ); document.write( "- \n" ); document.write( "2.z=(x-mean)/sd or (665-725)/60 which is -1 and z=(770-725)/60 or 0.75 \n" ); document.write( "That probability is 0.6147. For 60 people, that would be 37 to the nearest integer. \n" ); document.write( "- \n" ); document.write( "the top 5% are at z=1.645\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "therefore, 1.645=(x-725)/60 \n" ); document.write( "or 98.7=x-725 \n" ); document.write( "x=TZS 823.69 which can be rounded if needed \n" ); document.write( " |
