There are 4 blood types, and not all are equally likely to be in blood banks. 49% of donations are type O blood, 27% of donations are type A blood, 20% of donations are type B blood, and 4% of donations are type AB blood. A person with type A blood can safely receive blood transfusions of type O and type A blood. If three donations are made, what is the probability that at least 1 of them can be safely used in a blood transfusion on someone with type A blood? 0.0138 0.4390 0.5610 0.9862

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

0.9862.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each donation, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it can be safely used in a blood transfusion on someone with type A blood, or it cannot. The probability of a donation being safely used is independent of other donations, which means that we use the binomial probability distribution 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.

Type A blood:

Can receive from type O(49%) and from type A(27%), which means that:

[tex]p = 0.49 + 0.27 = 0.76[/tex]

If three donations are made, what is the probability that at least 1 of them can be safely used in a blood transfusion on someone with type A blood?

Three donations mean that [tex]n = 3[/tex]

This probability is:

[tex]P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)[/tex]

In which

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

[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{3,0}.(0.76)^{0}.(0.24)^{3} = 0.0138[/tex]

[tex]P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0) = 1 - 0.0138 = 0.9862[/tex]

The answer is 0.9862.

Answer 2

The probability that at least 1 of them can be safely used in a blood is 0.9862.

Since, A person with type A blood can safely receive blood transfusions of type O and type A blood.

Given that,

49% of donations are type O blood

27% of donations are type A blood

So,    [tex]p=0.49+0.27=0.76[/tex]   and   [tex]q=1-0.76=0.24[/tex]

Where p represent probability of success and q represent probability of unsuccessful.

Now use Binomial distribution,

      [tex]P(X=r)=n_{C}_rp^{r} q^{n-r}[/tex]

Here three donations, it means that, n = 3

We have to find that the probability that at least 1 of them can be safely used in a blood.

So,     [tex]P(X\geq 1)=1-P(X=0)[/tex]

        [tex]P(X=0)=3_{C}_0(0.76)^{0} (0.24)^{3}=0.0138[/tex]

           [tex]P(X\geq 1)=1-0.0138=0.9862[/tex]

Thus, The probability that at least 1 of them can be safely used in a blood is 0.9862.

Suppose that Stephen is the quality control supervisor for a food distribution company. A shipment containing many thousands of apples has just arrived. Unknown to Stephen, 13% of the apples are damaged due to bruising, worms, or other defects. If Stephen samples 10 apples from the shipment, use the binomial distribution to estimate the probability that his sample will contain at least one damaged apple. Select the true statement.
A. Stephen can use a sample of size 10 to reliably determine if the truck load contains damaged apples.
B. Stephen could use a sample of size less than 10 to reliably determine if the truck load contains damaged apples.
C. Stephen could have used a normal approximation to determine this probability.
D. A sample of size 10 is too small to reliably determine if the truck load contains damaged apples.
E. Stephen should sample with replacement so that the probability is exactly binomial.

Answers

Answer:

D. A sample of size 10 is too small to reliably determine if the truck load contains damaged apples.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have probability of having damaged apple = 13%

= 13/100

= 0.13

Sample size n = 10

Using the binomial distribution

P(X=x) = nCx * P^x(1-P)^n-x

Probability sample will have at least one damaged apple

= P(X>=1) = 1-p(x<1)

= 1 - P(X=0)

= 1-(10C0 *P⁰(1-0.13)¹⁰

= 1 - 1(1-0.13)¹⁰

= 1 - 0.87¹⁰

= 1 - 0.2484

= 0.7516

The answer is option D. A sample of size 10 is too small to reliably determine if the truck load contains damaged apples.

Step-by-step explanation:

Paleomagnetic studies of Canadian volcanic rock known as the Carmacks Group have recently been completed. The studies revealed that the northward displacement of the rock units has an approximately normal distribution with a standard deviation of 500 kilometers (Canadian Journal of Earth Sciences, Vol. 27, 1990). One group of researchers estimated the mean displacement at 1,200 kilometers, whereas a second group estimated the mean at 1,000 kilometers.

Required:
a. Assuming the mean is 1500 kilometers, what is the probability of a northward displacement of less than 500 kilometers?
b. Assuming the mean is 1200 kilometers, what is the probability of a northward displacement of less than 500 kilometers?
c. If, in fact, the northward displacement is less than 500 kilometers, which is the more plausible mean, 1200 or 1500 kilometers?

Answers

Answer:

a) 0.0228 = 2.28% probability of a northward displacement of less than 500 kilometers

b) 0.0808 = 8.08% probability of a northward displacement of less than 500 kilometers

c) 1200 kilometers, because in this case, the will be a higher probability of a northward displacement that is less than 500 kilometers.

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 zscore 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 pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Standard deviation of 500 kilometers

This means that [tex]\sigma = 500[/tex]

a. Assuming the mean is 1500 kilometers, what is the probability of a northward displacement of less than 500 kilometers?

Mean of 1500 km means that [tex]\mu = 500[/tex]

The probability is the pvalue of Z when X = 500. So

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

[tex]Z = \frac{500 - 1500}{500}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -2[/tex]

[tex]Z = -2[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.0228

0.0228 = 2.28% probability of a northward displacement of less than 500 kilometers.

b. Assuming the mean is 1200 kilometers, what is the probability of a northward displacement of less than 500 kilometers?

Now [tex]\mu = 1200[/tex]

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

[tex]Z = \frac{500 - 1200}{500}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1.4[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1.4[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.0808

0.0808 = 8.08% probability of a northward displacement of less than 500 kilometers.

c. If, in fact, the northward displacement is less than 500 kilometers, which is the more plausible mean, 1200 or 1500 kilometers?

1200 kilometers, because in this case, the will be a higher probability of a northward displacement that is less than 500 kilometers.

What is the CONSTANT in the expression 3k + 12?

Answers

Answer: 12

Step-by-step explanation:

The constant of the expression is 12.

What is a constant?

'A constant is a value or number that never changes in expression that is it's constantly the same.'

According to the given problem,

In the expression 3k + 12 , k is a variable. A variable is a quantity that may change with respect to the mathematical criteria.

If k = 1, the value of the expression is (3 × 1) + 12 = 15

  k =2, the value is (3 × 2) + 12 = 18

But we can see that no matter the value of k is, the expression has to be added with 12.

Hence, we can conclude that since the value of 12 does not change irrespective of the changing values k, the constant of this expression is 12.
