There are​ 15,958,866 adults in a region. If a polling organization randomly selects 1235 adults without​ replacement, are the selections independent or​ dependent? If the selections are​ dependent, can they be treated as independent for the purposes of​ calculations? Are the selections independent or​ dependent?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

The selections are dependent.

Yes, they can be treated as independent (less than 5% of the population).

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the selections are made without replacement, each selection affects the outcome of the next selection and, therefore, the selections are dependent.

Although they are dependent, the selections can be treated as independent if the sample size is no more than 5% of the total population. In this case, the sample size is 1235 adults out of a population of 15,958,866 adults. The percentage represented by the sample is:

P=(12,345)/(15,958.866)*100\n P=0.077\%

Thus the selections can be treated as independent for the purposes of calculations.

A student is applying to Harvard and Dartmouth. He estimates that he has a probability of .5 of being accepted at Dartmouth and .3 of being accepted at Harvard. He further estimates the probability that he will be accepted by both is .2. What is the probability that he is accepted by Dartmouth if he is accepted by Harvard? Is the event "accepted at Harvard" independent of the event "accepted at Dartmouth"?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let P(H) be the probability that he is accepted by Harvard

Let P(D) be the probability that he is accepted by Dartmouth

Let P(HnD) be the probability that he is accepted by Harvard and Dartmouth

Given data

P(H) = 0.3

P(D) = 0.5

P(DnH) = 0.2

To get the probability that he is accepted by Dartmouth if he is accepted by Harvard, can be gotten using the conditional probability formula.

P(D|H) = P(DnH)/P(H)

P(D|H) = 0.2/0.3

P(D|H) = 2/10/÷3/10

P(D|H) = 2/10×10/3

P(D|H) 2/3

b) The two events are independent if the occurrence of an event does not affect the other occurring. For the two events to be independent then;

P(DnH) = P(D)P(H)

Given P(D) = 0.5 and P(H) = 0.3

P(D)P(H) = 0.5 × 0.3

P(D)P(H) = 0.15

And since P(DnH) = 0.2, hence P(DnH) ≠ P(D)P(H)

This means that the event "accepted at Harvard" IS NOT independent of the event "accepted at Dartmouth" since the two values are not equal.

between which two numbers is the whole number qoutient of 88 divided by 5 write the numbers in the boxes (the number choices: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25)

Answers

Answer:

15 and 20

Step-by-step explanation:

When dividing 88 by 5 we wil have;

88/5

= 17 3/5

= 17 + 0.6

=  17.6

So we are to find the two numbers that 17.6 falls in between

From the given option 17.6 falls between 15 and 20. Hence the required numbers are 15 and 20

Really easy seventh grade math can I get this problem answered? Thanks!!

Answers

20/8=x/6
x=15
they are similar so the proportion is the same

x = 15

since the figures are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal

(x)/(6) = (20)/(8) ( cross- multiply )

8x = 6 × 20 = 120 ( divide both sides by 8 )

x = 15
