In 2007, Bob Jones University ended its fall semester a week early because of a whooping cough outbreak; 158 students were isolated with suspected infection and another 1200 given antibiotics as a precaution.14 Authorities react strongly to whooping cough outbreaks because the disease is so contagious. Because the effect of childhood vaccination often wears off by late adolescence, treat the Bob Jones students as if they were unvaccinated. It appears that approximately 1400 students were exposed. What is the probability that at least 75% of these students would develop infections if not treated

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

If not treated, the probability of at least 75 percent of 1400 students being infected is approximately equal to 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Y be the no. of infections

The number of students who have been exposed to whooping cough is as follows:

n = 1400

n = 1400  and p = 0.8

nm = 1400 x 0.8

nm = 1120

n(1-m) = 1400 x (1-0.8)

n(1-m) = 280

Here,

Both nm and n(1-m) are greater than or equal to 10. So, we use normal distribution.

The mean and standard deviation of number of new infections is:

u = np

u =1400 x 0.8

u = 1120 = mean

SD = Standard Deviation  

SD = [tex]\sqrt{1120(1-0.8)}[/tex]

SD = 14.966

The number of infections is distributed in an approximately normal way

N(1120,14.966)

75% of 1400 means 0.75  x 1400 = 1050

So,

Probability required.

P (Y[tex]\geq[/tex] 1050) = P (Y [tex]\geq[/tex] 1050 - 0.5)    (Continuity Correction)

P (Y[tex]\geq[/tex] 1050) = P([tex]\frac{Y - u}{SD} \geq \frac{1049.5 - 1120}{14.966}[/tex])

P (Y[tex]\geq[/tex] 1050) =  P(Z [tex]\geq[/tex] -4.71)

P (Y[tex]\geq[/tex] 1050) = P(Z [tex]\leq[/tex] 4.71)

Using the z table:

P (Y[tex]\geq[/tex] 1050) ≈ 1

Hence,

If not treated, the probability of at least 75 percent of 1400 students being infected is approximately equal to 1.

Answers

Answer:

The answer is "0.0547".

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]P(Correct) = 0.50\\\\n = 10\\\\x = 8[/tex]

Using the binomial distribution:

[tex]\to P(x,n) = n_{C}_x \times p^x \times (1-p)^{(n-1)}\\\\\to P(x \geq 8) = 1 - P( \leq 7)[/tex]

Calculating the excel formula:

9 ft. 15 ft The volume of the figure is cubic feet. 15 ft. 15 ft​

Answers

Answer:

4,050 cubic feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure is made up of a square pyramid and cube

Therefore:

Volume of the figure = volume of the square pyramid + volume of the cube

✔️Volume of the square pyramid = ⅓*a²h

a = 15 ft

h = 9 ft

Volume of square pyramid = ⅓*15²*9 = 675 ft³

✔️Volume of the cube = s³

s = 15 ft

Volume of the cube = 15³ = 3,375 ft³

✔️Volume of the figure = 675 + 3,375 = 4,050 cubic feet

A bakery in Hong Kong regularly orders carton of cranberries from Australia. The net weight (in ounces) of

290 290 300 420 500 520 530 610 630 650



(c) The bakery orders the cranberries from Australia with currency exchange rate of AUD 1 to HKD 5.8.

For each ounce of Australia cranberries costs AUD 2 and the fixed shipping fee of each carton is HKD

80. Find the mean, standard deviation, range, and third quartile of the payment (in HKD) of ordering a

carton of cranberries from Australia to Hong Kong.

Answers

Answer:

i) Mean = 1933.1817

ii) Range = 5684

iii) Third quartile = 6054

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data :

currency exchange rate : 1 AUD = 5.8 HKD

cost of each ounce = 2 AUD

Fixed shipping cost for each carton = 80 HKD

number of cartons = 20

next determine the total cost of the 20 cartons in HKD

= ∑(weight in ounce * cost of each ounce *exchange rate) +fixed shipping cost

= ∑ ( 160*2*5.8 + 80 )  + -------------- + (650 *2*5.8 + 80 ) ----------------- ( 1 )

= 81756 HKD

i) find the mean value ( X )

= Total cost / number of cartons

= 81756 / 20 = 4087.8

ii) Find the standard deviation

= [tex]\sqrt{\frac{(1936-4087.8)^2+-----+(7620-4087.8)^2}{20-1} }[/tex]      note: std =  √∑(xi-X )^2 / (n-1)

= 1933.1817

iii) Find the range

Range = highest cost - lowest cost   ( values gotten from equation 1 )

           = 7650 - 1936

           = 5684

iv) Determine the third quartile

third quartile = 6054

Students would want to include sensory language which describes in the solution part that focuses on writing about their favorite food.

What is sensory language?

Sensory Language is a word or words used to evoke mental imagery and help the reader visualize the tale or poetry. Imagery is a literary method that appeals to the reader's senses, whereas Sensory Language is a writing style and how writers utilize words to generate images for the readers.

When writing about their favorite food, a student might want to include sensory language that focuses on how the food looks, smells, tastes, feels, and sounds. This can help to paint a vivid picture for the reader and make the experience of reading about the food more immersive.

For example, if the student's favorite food is pizza, they might describe the golden, crispy crust; the savory, spicy tomato sauce; the gooey, melted cheese; the spicy sausage and bell peppers; and the satisfying crunch that it makes when they take a bite. They might also describe the way the warm, comforting aroma of the pizza fills the room as it cooks, or the way the different textures and flavors come together in each bite to create a satisfying and delicious meal. By using descriptive language that focuses on the senses, the student can help the reader to better understand and share in their love of the food.
