Let x be a binomial random variable with n = 15 and p= .5. Using the exact
binomial calculation and the normal approximation with the continuity
correction, find P(x>6).
Answers
Answer: Choice C) 0.6964; 0.6972
============================================
Work Shown:
n = 15
p = 0.5
q = 1-p = 1-0.5 = 0.5
P(k) = (n C k)*(p)^k*(q)^(n-k)
P(k) = (15 C k)*(0.5)^k*(0.5)^(15-k)
----------------
If you plug in k = 7, then we get,
P(k) = (15 C k)*(0.5)^k*(0.5)^(15-k)
P(7) = (15 C 7)*(0.5)^7*(0.5)^(15-7)
P(7) = 6435*(0.5)^7*(0.5)^8
P(7) = 0.1964
-----------------
Repeat for k = 8 all the way through k = 15. You could do this by hand, but I recommend using a spreadsheet to make things go much quicker.
Once you determine those values, add them up and you should get 0.6964 which is the binomial probability we want.
------------------
As for the normal approximation, you'll need to compute the mu and sigma to get
mu = n*p = 15*0.5 = 7.5sigma = sqrt(n*p*q) = sqrt(15*0.5*0.5) = 1.93649 which is approximate.The normal distribution will have those parameters.
Since we're using a continuity correction, we need to bump the x = 6 up to x = 6.5, since we want to be larger than 6
Let's find the z score
z = (x - mu)/sigma
z = (6.5 - 7.5)/(1.93649)
z = -0.516398
Now use a Z table or a calculator to determine that P(Z > -0.516398) = 0.6972 approximately. If you're using a TI calculator, then you'll use the normalCDF function. If you're using excel, then you would use the NormDist function (make sure to turn the cumulative flag to "true"). Alternatively, you can search out free z calculators to get the job done.

Mention any two similarities between rectangle and square.
Answers
The similarities between a rectangle and a square as:
All 4 angles are 90 deg each.
Opposite sides are parallel and equal.
The diagonals bisect each other.
Circles can circumscribe both figures.
The diagonals form the diameter of the circumscribing circle.
The square root of the sum of the squares of adjacent sides is the diagonal.
The area is the product of adjacent sides.
The diagonals bisect the figure into 2 congruent triangles.
Join the midpoints of opposite sides and you get 4 similar figures of 1/4 the area of the original figure.
Join the midpoints of 4 sides in order and you get a rhombus, whose area is half that of the original figure.

A wire 15 centimeters long is cut into two pieces. The longer piece is 3 centimeters longer than
the shorter piece. Find the length of the shorter piece of wire.
Answers
Answer:
Let the length of the 2 pieces = L and S
Let L = the longer piece and S = the shorter piece
A wire 26 cm is cut into 2 pieces. This equates to......L + S = 26
The longer piece is 6 cm longer than the shorter piece. This equates to.....L = 6 + S. Substitute this equation into the first one, you get
L + S = 26
6 + S + S = 26
2S = 20
S = 20/2 = 10 cm
L = 6 + S = 6 + 10 = 16 cm
To confirm, L + S = 26
16 + 10 = 26!

Answers
Answer:
[tex]r = 15 \times 5 \\ r = 75[/tex]
Answer:
75
Step-by-step explanation:
5 = r/15
what we want to do is solve for r
to do this we want to isolate the variable (r) using inverse operations
5 = r / 15
so to solve for r we want to get rid of the 15
r is being divided by 15
the inverse of division is multiplication
so to get rid of the 15 we multiply by 15
but remember whatever we do to one side we must do to the other side, so we multiply each side by 15
15 * 5 = 75
r / 15 * 15 = r
we're left with r = 75
we can then check are work by substituting 75 for r and then see if the equation is true
5 = r/15
* substitute 75 for r *
5 = 75/15
75 / 15 = 5
we're left with 5 = 5 which is true

Factor of 15x - 20y
Answers
Answer:
0
Step-by-step explanation: Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-20y' to each side of the equation.
15x + 20y + -20y = 0 + -20y
Combine like terms: 20y + -20y = 0
15x + 0 = 0 + -20y
15x = 0 + -20y
Remove the zero:
15x = -20y
Divide each side by '15'.
x = -1.333333333y
Simplifying
x = -1.333333333y

To purchase $14.400 worth of machinery for his business, Greg made a down payment of $1400 and took out a business loan for the rest. After 2 years of
paying monthly payments of $576.18, he finally paid off the loan.
Answers
Answer:
below
Step-by-step explanation:
cost of the machinery = $14,400
he paid a deposit of $1400
then later paid $576.18 for two years
two years = 24 months
= $576.18 *24
=$13,828.32
total amount paid
= initial deposit + amount paid in two years
= $1,400 + $13,828.32
=$15,228.32
so he finally paid $15,228.32
interest = selling price - original cost
= $15,228.32 - $14,400
=$828.32
therefore interest = $828.32

16 if you want exact, 20 if you want a little over.
**Explanation**
So check this... it's $50 per student that attends the camp, right?
(Nod if you're with me.)
The dude buys 5 dozen donuts for 16 days. 50 x 16 = 800
5 dozen is the same as 50 donuts.
You multiply to get the total amount of donuts he buys in the total days (16).
Each 10 donuts costs 10 dollars.
If the dude buys 800 donuts it cost him $800.
And it costs 50 dollars for someone to go to camp.
So you divide 800/50 = 16 students
Now the problem says "In order to break even" I'm not sure what that means. But I'm assuming it doesn't want 16 then, because the price of 16 students would be the same (even) as the price of donuts that Mr. Brook buys. In that case it would be 20.
You are very welcome!!
