    Clarification of the wording of a statistics problem

    i don't know what to do, but i am not asking help for the whole thing i am just wondering what it means by mean weight differs from 20g? from 1.5g-41.5g? or does it mean when the weight is not 20g

    Approximation to the binomial distrubution

    a) since np has to be greater than 5, n*p= 50*.5 =25 so yes, we can use this since it is much larger than 5. now, for mean, i believe the equation is saying that the mean is np, which is 25 but in this equation we do not have a q value, so this is where my issue begins... what should i use...

    Calculating general normal random probability

    Yes, sorry. I am not sure that i have done the right steps. Mainly my issue is because the question says X~N(20,25) and i am not sure if i am to assume that the mean is 20 and the standard deviation squared is 25. as well, my other concern is that the equation isn't the standard deviation...

    Calculating general normal random probability

    a) P(X<18) = (18-20)/sqrt25 =-2/5 =-0.4 then you use the standard normal table and find that; P(X<18)=0.3446 b) P(X>27) = (27-20)/5 = 7/5 = 1.4 P(Z>1.4) =P(Z<-1.4) =0.0808 C) =(13<X<23) =13-20/5 , 23-20/5 =-7/5 , 3/5 =-1.4 , 0.6 P(Z<0.6)-P(Z<-1.4) =0.7257-0.0808 =0.6449

    Does the Buchner funnel have a better alternative with less loss?

    the Buchner funnel is used often in the lab, but i was wondering if there was a great enough transfer loss in the filter paper to switch to an alternate funnel for filtering by suction. I've looked into sintered glass funnels but i don't know if it would have the same transfer loss since the...

    How do i find this statistics answer

    alright, the p is different than any variable I've used in this course, is p always going to be 0.76? and k is reducing from 20 until 2?

    How do i find this statistics answer

    On the table you provided me with, (the first link) the answer i got was correct with Probability of k successes or more. but i don't know if that is the right since it is asking the backwards answer for this question, since more than 2 did NOT use google, its tripping me up.

    How to use the word "Knowing" in statistics

    oh! alright so the answer should be P(V^c ∩ D) / (P(D)) =0.375/0.4 =0.9375 Is this correct?

    How do i find this statistics answer

    i believe that the solution is to do 1- (less than 2 did use google) so it would look like 1- ((20!/0!20!)0.76^0*0.24^20 + (20!/1!19!)0.76^1*0.24^19 + (20!/2!18!)0.76^2*0.24^18) = 0.99 but logically, this does not make sense to be .99. what am i doing wrong?

    What Are the Tests for Independence in Probability Statistics?

    i think i believe that it means only the intercept between a and b which i found out was actually zero if there is no intercept then they are mutually exclusive, now that i know this . i am still having trouble understanding if they are independant i found this website...

    What Are the Tests for Independence in Probability Statistics?

    A) (0.5)-(0.3) =0.2 b) c) i have no clue how to determine from just a set of numbers if they are independant or mutually exclusive

    How to use the word "Knowing" in statistics

    A vaccine has a 90% probability of preventing a certain disease. The probability of getting this disease if a person is not vaccinated is 50%. In a certain region, 25% of people get vaccinated against this disease. Find the probability that a randomly selected person from this region A. has the...

    I How to answer a Combinations question

    Alright, so if i did the equation (49*48*47*46*45*44)/(6*5*4*3*2*1) , so therefore the answer would be 13,983,816 ?

    I How to answer a Combinations question

    Question: When playing Lotto 649, you must pick six numbers from the numbers 1, 2, …, 49. In how many ways can you do this? My attempt n!/r!(n-r)! = 49!/6!(49-6)! (49x48x47x46x...x1)/(6x5x4x3x2x1)(43x42x41x40x...x1) =0.06 . (edit: i redid the question and just made it (49x48x47x46x45x44)/(6!)...
