Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this question:

Top 10% = Above the 100 - 10 = 90th percentile.

The 90th percentile of scores is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.9, that is, Z = 1.28.

So, the student who had a z-score above 1.28 scored in the 90th percentile of their class.

In student A's class the mean was 78 and the standard deviation of 5. He scored 87.

We have that [tex]\mu = 78, \sigma = 5, X = 87[/tex]

Then

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{87 - 78}{5}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.8[/tex]

1.8 > 1.28, so student A scored in the top 10% of his/her class.

Student B's class the mean was 76 with a standard deviation of 4. Scored 87.

We have that [tex]\mu = 76, \sigma = 4, X = 87[/tex]

Then

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{87 - 76}{4}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 2.75[/tex]

2.75 > 1.28, so student B also scored in the top 10% of his/her class.

Both students scored in the top 10% of their classes.

This polynomial has roots [tex]x_{1}, x_{2}[/tex] such that [tex]ax^{2} + bx + c = a(x - x_{1})*(x - x_{2})[/tex], given by the following formulas:

[tex]x_{1} = \frac{-b + \sqrt{\Delta}}{2*a}[/tex]

The percentage of debit shoppers has increased.

21% (2006) < 40% (2009)

In 2006, the percentage of debit shoppers is 21%.

In 2009, the percentage of debit shoppers is 40%.

The percentage is calculated by dividing the required value by the total value and multiplying by 100.

Example:

Required percentage value = a

total value = b

Percentage = a/b x 100

We have,

In 2006:

A sample of 200 in-store shoppers showed that 42 paid by debit card.

The percentage of debit shoppers in 2006.

= 42/200 x 100

= 42/2

= 21%

In 2009:

A sample of the same size showed that 80 were paid by debit card.

The percentage of debit shoppers in 2009.

= 80/200 x 100

= 40%

Thus,

The percentage of debit shoppers has increased.

21% (2006) < 40% (2009)

Answer:

28. 0.2461 or 24.61%.

29. 0.00058275 or 0.058275%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 28:

we can use the binomial probability formula to calculate the probability:

[tex]\boxed{\bold{P(X = k) = (nCk) * p^k * (1 - p)^(n - k)}}[/tex]

Where:

In this case, we have n = 9 babies, and each baby has a 50% chance of being a girl (p = 0.5). We want to find the probability that exactly 4 of them are girls (k = 4).

Using the formula, we can calculate the probability as follows:

[tex]\bold{P(X = 4) = (9C4) * (0.5)^4 * (1 - 0.5)^(9 - 4)}[/tex]

Calculating the values:

Now, we can substitute these values into the formula:

P(X = 4) = 126 * 0.0625 * 0.03125 = 0.2461 or 24.61%

Therefore, the probability that exactly 4 out of 9 babies are girls is approximately 0.2461 or 24.61%.

Question 29:

We need to calculate the number of possible outcomes to calculate this probability, where the gambler correctly predicts the top 3 finishers in order and divides it by the total number of possible outcomes.

The total number of possible outcomes is the number of permutations of 13 horses taken 3 at a time.

This can be calculated as:

[tex]13P3 = \frac{13! }{(13 - 3)! }= \frac{13! }{ 10! }=\frac{13*12*11*10! }{ 10! }= 13 * 12 * 11 = 1,716[/tex]

Now,

To calculate the number of favorable outcomes where the gambler predicts the top 3 finishers correctly, we need to consider that there is only one correct order for the horses to finish.

Therefore, there is only one favorable outcome.

The probability of the gambler winning his bet is given by:

[tex]\boxed{\bold{P\:(winning) = \frac{Number\: of \:favorable\: outcomes }{ Total \:number \:of \:outcomes}}}[/tex]

[tex]P(winning) = \frac{1 }{1,716}=0,00058275 \: or\:0.058275%[/tex]

Therefore, the probability that the gambler will win his bet is approximately 0.00058275 or 0.058275%.

Answer:

28)  0.246 = 24.6%

29)  1/286 = 0.350%

Step-by-step explanation:

We can model the given scenario as a binomial distribution.

[tex]X \sim \text{B}(n,p)[/tex]

where:

Given the probability that a baby is born a girl is 0.5, and the number of babies is 9:

[tex]\boxed{X \sim \text{B}(9,0.5)}[/tex]

where the random variable X represents the number of babies who are girls.

To find the probability that at exactly 4 babies are girls, we need to find P(X = 4).

To do this, we can use the binomial distribution formula:

[tex]\boxed{\displaystyle \text{P}(X=x)=\binom{n}{x} \cdot p^x \cdot (1-p)^{n-x}}[/tex]

Substitute the values of n = 9, p = 0.5 and x = 4 into the formula:

[tex]\begin{aligned}\displaystyle \text{P}(X=4)&=\binom{9}{4} \cdot 0.5^4 \cdot (1-0.5)^{9-4}\\\\&=\dfrac{9!}{4!\:(9-4)!} \cdot 0.5^4 \cdot 0.5^{5}\\\\&=126 \cdot 0.0625 \cdot 0.03125\\\\& = 0.24609375\end{aligned}[/tex]

Therefore, the probability that 4 babies from a sample of 9 babies are girls is 0.246 (3 s.f.) or 24.6%.

We can also use the binomial probability density function of a calculator to calculate P(X = 4).

Inputting the values of n = 9, p = 0.5 and x = 4 into the binomial pdf:

[tex]\text{P}(X=4)=0.24609375[/tex]

Therefore, this confirms that the probability that 4 babies from a sample of 9 babies are girls is 0.246 (3 s.f.) or 24.6%.

To calculate the probability that the gambler will win his bet, we need to determine the number of favorable outcomes (winning combinations) and the total number of possible outcomes.

The gambler wins if he picks the top three horses in any order. There are 6 ways for the three winners to be arranged in the top three.

There are a total of 13 horses in the race.

Therefore, the total number of possible outcomes is:

[tex]13 \times 12 \times 11 = 1716[/tex]

Therefore, the probability that the gambler will win his bet is:

[tex]\begin{aligned} \sf Probability &=\sf \dfrac{Favorable \;outcomes}{Total\;outcomes}\\\\&=\dfrac{6}{1716}\\\\&=\dfrac{1}{286}\\\\ & \approx0.350\%\; \sf (3\;d.p.)\end{aligned}[/tex]

Printer A has the better rate of cost per page because the approximate rate of Printer A, $0.24 per page, is greater than the approximate rate of Printer B, $0.23 per page.

Rate demonstrates how many times one number can fit into another number. It contrast two numbers by ordinarily dividing them. A/B will be the formula if one is comparing one data point (A) to another data point (B).

In this case, Printer A prints 100 pages for $23.99. The rate is:

[tex]\sf = \dfrac{\$23.99}{100}[/tex]

[tex]\sf = 0.2399\thickapprox\$0.24 \ per \ page[/tex]

Printer B prints 275 sheets for $63.99. The rate is:

[tex]\sf = \dfrac{\$63.99}{275}[/tex]

[tex]\sf = 0.2327\thickapprox\$0.23 \ per \ page[/tex]

Therefore, based on the above calculations, we can see that Printer A has the better rate of cost per page because the approximate rate of Printer A, $0.24 per page, is greater than the approximate rate of Printer B, $0.23 per page.
