Complete Question

Answer:

a) Yes, selecting 15 corresponds to a binomial experiment

b)

c)

d) P(r = 15) = 3.2768 *10^{-11}

Step-by-step explanation:

Regarding question a:

For an experiment to qualify as binomial

the trials have to be independent

each trial must yield one of two possible outcomes

Given that the selection of 15 individuals is random, we ascertain that the trials are independent and the outcomes are “either the individual saves for retirement or does not save for retirement.”

Therefore, we conclude that the selection of 15 people at random is indeed a binomial experiment.

In question b:

The probability that all selected adults do not save for retirement is mathematically modeled as

P(r = n) = ^nC_r * p^r * q^{n-r}

Here C signifies combination

r = 15 implies all selected adults

n refers to the population size equating to 15

From the problem, p = 0.20

and q can be calculated as

=>

=> q = 1 - p

Thus

P(r = 15) = ^{15}C_{15} * p^{15} * q^{15-15}

P(r = 15) = 3.2768 *10^{-11} Regarding question c:

The probability that exactly five of the selected adults do not save for retirement is mathematically modeled as

P(r = 5) = ^{15} C_5 * (0.20)^5 * (0.80)^{15}

P(r = 5) = 0.1032

In relation to question d:

The probability that at least one of the selected adults opts not to save for retirement can be mathematically expressed as

P(r \ge 1 ) = 1 - P (r = 0 )

P(r \ge 1 ) = 1 - [ ^{15} C _ 0 * (0.20)^{0} * (0.80 )^{15}]

P(r \ge 1 ) = 1 - 0.0352

P(r \ge 1 ) = 0.9648

Emi computes the mean and variance for the population data set 87, 46, 90, 78, and 89. She finds the mean is 78. Her steps for f
AnnZ [12381]
Let’s determine the actual mean

First, we sum all the values

87+46+90+78+89 = 390

Then, we divide 390 by the count of numbers present.

390/5 = 78

Thus, the mean is 78

Svet_ta [12734]

Answer:

The union of sets A and B is represented as A U B = {1,2,3,4,5,6,8}

Detailed explanation:

We begin by defining our sets.

Let ¢ signify the universal set (which includes every element in the given sets)

¢ = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10}

A= {2, 4, 6, 8}

B= {1,2,3,4,5,6}

Consequently: A U B (the union of A and B):

A U B = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8}
