The probability that the patient recovers from a rare deadly disease is 40% and failure to recover is 60%.If 15 people contracted this disease what is the probability that a. 5 will survive? b. 8 will survive? c.12 will survive?(complete solution)​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) 0.1859 = 18.59% probability that 5 will survive.

b) 0.1181 = 11.81% probability that 8 will survive.

c) 0.0016 = 0.16% probability that 12 will survive.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each patient, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they survive, or they do not. The probability of a patient surviving is independent of any other patient. This means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

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

In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

And p is the probability of X happening.

The probability that the patient recovers from a rare deadly disease is 40%

This means that [tex]p = 0.4[/tex]

15 individuals

This means that [tex]n = 15[/tex]

a. 5 will survive

This is P(X = 5). So

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

[tex]P(X = 5) = C_{15,5}.(0.4)^{5}.(0.6)^{10} = 0.1859[/tex]

0.1859 = 18.59% probability that 5 will survive.

b. 8 will survive

This is P(X = 8). So

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

[tex]P(X = 8) = C_{15,8}.(0.4)^{8}.(0.6)^{7} = 0.1181[/tex]

0.1181 = 11.81% probability that 8 will survive.

c.12 will survive

This is P(X = 12). So

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

[tex]P(X = 12) = C_{15,12}.(0.4)^{12}.(0.6)^{3} = 0.0016[/tex]

0.0016 = 0.16% probability that 12 will survive.

The boat top speed was 2 miles per hour less then 3/5 the cars top speed. The boats top speed was 73 miles per hour.what was the top speed of the car ?

Answers

Answer:

Word Problem. Hmm

The Interpretation of the first expression

Let boat top speed be x and car's top speed be y

x= 3y/5 – 2

From the question

x= 73miles per hr

73= 3y/5 - 2

3y/5 = 73+2

3y/5=75

y= 75x5/(3)

y=125miles per hr.

This is the car's top speed. Thanks

A finite sequence of numbers is called AWESOME if each subsequent member of the sequence, except the first one, is larger than the previous one and if the

product of all the members of that sequence is a perfect square. For example, sequence 2, 6, 27 is an AWESOME sequence. Determine the natural numbers x and y such that the sequence 28, x, y, 65 is an AWESOME sequence.

Answers

Answer:

The answer is "28, 35, 52, 65"

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculating the x,y:

  [tex]\to x< y<65\\\\\to 65 \times 28 xy=13 \times 5xy \times 7 \times 2^2\\\\x=13 \\\\y=5 \times 7= 35\\\\[/tex]

When

or  

[tex]x=35\\\\y= 13 \times 2^2=13 \times 4 =52[/tex]

So, the final answer is "28, 35, 52, 65".

Answer:

? = 7x

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets simplify the equation first;

5x - 20 + ? = -20 + 12x

=> So now, we have to make the equation on the left equation congruent to the right equation:

It we already have -20 common on both sides, but we need to find out, what added by 5x gives us 12x,

=> So we can let the number we have to find out be y, and say:

5x + y = 12x

=> y = 12x - 5x

=> y = 7x

Therefore, ? = 7x
