Point estimate ___________ (2 decimal places) Margin of error __________ (3 decimal places) The 99% confidence interval is ________ to _______ (3 decimal places)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) The point estimate for the population proportion p is 0.34.

(b) The margin of error for the 99% confidence interval of population proportion p is 0.055.

(c) The 99% confidence interval of population proportion p is (0.285, 0.395).

Step-by-step explanation:

A point estimate of a parameter (population) is a distinct value used for the estimation the parameter (population). For instance, the sample mean [tex]\bar x[/tex] is a point estimate of the population mean μ.

Similarly, the the point estimate of the population proportion of a characteristic, p is the sample proportion [tex]\hat p[/tex].

The (1 - α)% confidence interval for the population proportion p is:

[tex]CI=\hat p\pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}[/tex]

The margin of error for this interval is:

[tex]MOE= z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}[/tex]

The information provided is:

[tex]\hat p=0.34\\n=500\\(1-\alpha)\%=99\%[/tex]

(a)

Compute the point estimate for the population proportion p as follows:

Point estimate of p = [tex]\hat p[/tex] = 0.34

Thus, the point estimate for the population proportion p is 0.34.

(b)

The critical value of z for 99% confidence level is:

[tex]z={\alpha/2}=z_{0.01/2}=z_{0.005}=2.58[/tex]

*Use a z-table for the value.

Compute the margin of error for the 99% confidence interval of population proportion p as follows:

[tex]MOE= z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}[/tex]

          [tex]=2.58\sqrt{\frac{0.34(1-0.34)}{500}}[/tex]

          [tex]=2.58\times 0.0212\\=0.055[/tex]

Thus, the margin of error for the 99% confidence interval of population proportion p is 0.055.

(c)

Compute the 99% confidence interval of population proportion p as follows:

[tex]CI=\hat p\pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}[/tex]

[tex]CI=\hat p\pm MOE[/tex]

     [tex]=0.34\pm 0.055\\=(0.285, 0.395)[/tex]

Thus, the 99% confidence interval of population proportion p is (0.285, 0.395).

Answer 2
Final answer:

The point estimate for p is 0.34. The margin of error, calculated using a z-score of 2.576, is 0.034. The 99% confidence interval is from 0.306 to 0.374.

Explanation:

This question is about calculating a confidence interval for a proportion using the normal distribution. The best point estimate for p is the sample proportion, p-hat, which is 0.34.

For a 99% confidence interval, we use a z-score of 2.576, which corresponds to the 99% confidence level in a standard normal distribution. The formula for the margin of error (E) is: E = Z * sqrt[(p-hat(1 - p-hat))/n]. Substituting into the formula, E = 2.576 * sqrt[(0.34(1 - 0.34))/500] = 0.034.

The 99% confidence interval for p is calculated by subtracting and adding the margin of error from the point estimate: (p-hat - E, p-hat + E). The 99% confidence interval is (0.34 - 0.034, 0.34 + 0.034) = (0.306, 0.374).

The trucking company has a policy that any truck with a mileage more than 2.5 standard deviations above the mean should be removed from the road and inspected. What is the probability that a randomly selected truck from the fleet will have to be inspected? ROUND YOUR ANSWER TO 4 DECIMAL PLACES

Answers

Answer:

0.0062 = 0.62% probability that a randomly selected truck from the fleet will have to be inspected

Step-by-step explanation:

Z-score

Problems of normally distributed samples 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.

What is the probability that a randomly selected truck from the fleet will have to be inspected?

Values of Z above 2.5. So this probability is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z = 2.5.

Z = 2.5 has a pvalue of 0.9938

1 - 0.9938 = 0.0062

0.0062 = 0.62% probability that a randomly selected truck from the fleet will have to be inspected

Answer:

For this case we want this probability:

[tex] P(X > \mu +2.5 \sigma) [/tex]

And we can use the z score formula given by:

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

And replacing we got:

[tex] z = \frac{\mu +2.5 \sigma -\mu}{\sigma}= 2.5[/tex]

We want this probability:

[tex] P(Z>2.5) = 1-P(Z<2.5)[/tex]

And using the normal standard table or excel we got:

[tex] P(Z>2.5) = 1-P(Z<2.5)= 1-0.9938= 0.0062[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the mileage of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

[tex]X \sim N(\mu,\sigma)[/tex]  

For this case we want this probability:

[tex] P(X > \mu +2.5 \sigma) [/tex]

And we can use the z score formula given by:

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

And replacing we got:

[tex] z = \frac{\mu +2.5 \sigma -\mu}{\sigma}= 2.5[/tex]

We want this probability:

[tex] P(Z>2.5) = 1-P(Z<2.5)[/tex]

And using the normal standard table or excel we got:

[tex] P(Z>2.5) = 1-P(Z<2.5)= 1-0.9938= 0.0062[/tex]

A worker has asked her supervisor for a letter of recommendation for a new job. She estimates that there is an 80 percent chance that she will get the job if she receives a strong recommendation, a 40 percent chance if she receives a moderately good recommendation, and a 10 percent chance if she receives a weak recommendation. She further estimates that the probabilities that the recommendation will be strong, moderate, and weak are 0.7, 0.2, and 0.1, respectively.

a. How certain is she that she will receive the new job offer?
b. Given that she does receive the offer, how likely should she feel that she received a strong recommendation?

i. a moderate recommendation?
ii. a weak recommendation?

c. Given that she does not receive the job offer, how likely should she feel that she received a strong recommendation?
i. a moderate recommendation?
ii. a weak recommendation?

Answers

Answer:

a) P(Job offer) = 0.65

b) P(S|J) = 0.862

P(M|J) = 0.143

P(W|J) = 0.0179

c) P(S|J') = 0.400

P(M|J') = 0.343

P(W|J') = 0.257

Step-by-step explanation:

- Let the event that she gets a job be J

- Let the event that she does not get the job be J'

- Let the event that she receives a strong recommendation be S

- Let the event that she receives a moderate recommendation be M

- Let the event that she receives a weak recommendation be W.

Given in the question,

P(J|S) = 80% = 0.8

P(J|M) = 40% = 0.4

P(J|W) = 10% = 0.1

P(S) = 0.70

P(M) = 0.20

P(W) = 0.10

a) How certain is she that she will receive the new job offer?

P(J) = P(J n S) + P(J n M) + P(J n W) (since S, M and W are all of the possible outcomes that lead to a job)

But note that the conditional probability, P(A|B) is given mathematically as,

P(A|B) = P(A n B) ÷ P(B)

P(A n B) is then given as

P(A n B) = P(A|B) × P(B)

So,

P(J n S) = P(J|S) × P(S) = 0.80 × 0.70 = 0.56

P(J n M) = P(J|M) × P(M) = 0.40 × 0.20 = 0.08

P(J n W) = P(J|W) × P(W) = 0.10 × 0.10 = 0.01

P(J) = P(J n S) + P(J n M) + P(J n W)

P(J) = 0.56 + 0.08 + 0.01 = 0.65

b) Given that she does receive the offer, how likely should she feel that she received a strong recommendation?

This probability = P(S|J)

P(S|J) = P(J n S) ÷ P(J) = 0.56 ÷ 0.65 = 0.862

i. a moderate recommendation?

P(M|J) = P(J n M) ÷ P(J) = 0.08 ÷ 0.65 = 0.143

ii. a weak recommendation?

P(W|J) = P(J n W) ÷ P(J) = 0.01 ÷ 0.65 = 0.0179

c) Probability that she doesn't get job offer, given she got a strong recommendation = P(J'|S)

P(J'|S) = 1 - P(J|S) = 1 - 0.80 = 0.20

Probability that she doesn't get job offer, given she got a moderate recommendation = P(J'|M)

P(J'|M) = 1 - P(J|M) = 1 - 0.40 = 0.60

Probability that she doesn't get job offer, given she got a weak recommendation = P(J'|S)

P(J'|W) = 1 - P(J|W) = 1 - 0.10 = 0.90

Total probability that she doesn't get job offer

P(J') = P(J' n S) + P(J' n M) + P(J' n W)

P(J' n S) = P(J'|S) × P(S) = 0.20 × 0.70 = 0.14

P(J' n M) = P(J'|M) × P(M) = 0.60 × 0.20 = 0.12

P(J' n W) = P(J'|W) × P(W) = 0.90 × 0.10 = 0.09

Total probability that she doesn't get job offer

P(J') = P(J' n S) + P(J' n M) + P(J' n W)

= 0.14 + 0.12 + 0.09 = 0.35

Given that she does not receive the job offer, how likely should she feel that she received a strong recommendation?

This probability = P(S|J')

P(S|J') = P(J' n S) ÷ P(J') = 0.14 ÷ 0.35 = 0.400

i. a moderate recommendation?

P(M|J') = P(J' n M) ÷ P(J') = 0.12 ÷ 0.35 = 0.343

ii. a weak recommendation?

P(W|J') = P(J' n W) ÷ P(J') = 0.09 ÷ 0.35 = 0.257

Hope this Helps!!!

Final answer:

She has 62% certainty of getting the job. If she gets it, there are high chances (~90%) that the recommendation was strong. In case of rejection, she's slightly more likely to have received a strong recommendation than a moderate or weak one.

Explanation:

The subject of this problem involves the understanding of conditional probabilities and the principle of total probability. Let's denote the events as follows:

A1: the recommendation is strong A2: the recommendation is moderate A3: the recommendation is weak B: she gets the new job offer

a. The total probability that she will receive the job offer is calculated as follows:

P(B)=P(A1)P(B|A1)+P(A2)P(B|A2)+P(A3)P(B|A3) = 0.7*0.8+0.2*0.4+0.1*0.1=0.62, so she is 62% certain that she will receive the job offer.

b. If she does receive the offer, the probabilities that she got a strong, moderate and weak recommendation are calculated using Bayes' Theorem:

P(A1|B)=P(B|A1)P(A1)/P(B)=0.8*0.7/0.62 =~ 0.9 P(A2|B)=P(B|A2)P(A2)/P(B)=0.4*0.2/0.62 =~ 0.13 P(A3|B)=P(B|A3)P(A3)/P(B)=0.1*0.1/0.62 =~ 0.016

c. If she doesn't get the job, the probabilities are calculated similarly:

P(A1|Not B)=P(Not B|A1)P(A1)/P(Not B)=0.2*0.7/0.38 =~ 0.37 P(A2|Not B)=P(Not B|A2)P(A2)/P(Not B)=0.6*0.2/0.38 =~ 0.32 P(A3|Not B)=P(Not B|A3)P(A3)/P(Not B)=0.9*0.1/0.38 =~ 0.24

Answers

Answer:

95 percent confidence interval for μ is determined by

(60.688 ,  69.312)

a) be the same

Step-by-step explanation:

Step (i):-

Given data a random sample of 121 automobiles traveling on an interstate showed an average speed of 65 mph.

The sample size is n= 121

The mean of the sample x⁻ = 65mph.

The standard deviation of the population is 22 mph

σ = 22mph

Step (ii) :-

Given  The 95 percent confidence interval for μ is determined as

(61.08, 68.92)

we are to reduce the sample size to 100 (other factors remain unchanged) so

given The sample size is n= 100

The mean of the sample x⁻ = 65mph.

The standard deviation of the population is 22 mph

σ = 22mph

Step (iii):-

95 percent confidence interval for μ is determined by

This is similar to (61.08, 68.92) ≅(61 ,69)

Conclusion:-

it become same as (61.08, 68.92)

Final answer:

In the given scenario, the 95 percent confidence interval for μ would become wider if the sample size is reduced from 121 to 100. This is due to the increased uncertainty in estimation as a result of a smaller sample size.

Explanation:

In statistics, a confidence interval is a range in which a population parameter is estimated to lie. The calculation of a confidence interval involves several factors, one of which is the sample size. The width of the confidence interval decreases as the sample size increases, assuming that all other factors remain the same.

In this case, the sample size is proposed to decrease from 121 to 100. As a result, the confidence interval for μ would become wider. This is because as the sample size decreases, the standard error increases, which in turn widens the confidence interval, allowing for more uncertainty in estimations.

Final answer:

Cramér's V value of .22 in the study indicates a small to medium association between whether the mother ate breakfast and the gender of her baby.

Explanation:

In the study, Cramér's V measuress the strength of association between two nominal variables, in this case, the mother's breakfast-eating habits and the gender of her baby. The value of Cramer’s V ranges from 0 (indicating no association) to 1 (indicating a perfect association)). Given the value of Cramér's V at .22 for this study, there is a small to medium association between whether a mother ate breakfast and the gender of her baby. It does not mean that 22% of the variation in baby gender can be explained by the mother's breakfast-eating habits. Rather, it quantifies the extent of the association between these two factors.

The average THC content of marijuana sold on the street is 10%. Suppose the THC content is normally distributed with standard deviation of 2%. Let X be the THC content for a randomly selected bag of marijuana that is sold on the street. Round all answers to two decimal places and give THC content in units of percent. For example, for a THC content of 11%, write "11" not 0.11.

Answers

Answer:

(a) [tex]X\sim N(0.10,\ 0.02^{2})[/tex].

(b) The probability that a randomly selected bag of marijuana sold on the street will have a THC content greater than 11% is 31%.

(c) The 60th percentile is 11%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is:

The average THC content of marijuana sold on the street is 10%. Suppose the THC content is normally distributed with standard deviation of 2%. Let X be the THC content for a randomly selected bag of marijuana that is sold on the street. Round all answers to two decimal places and give THC content in units of percent. For example, for a THC content of 11%, write "11" not 0.11.  

A. X ~ N( , )  

B. Find the probability that a randomly selected bag of marijuana sold on the street will have a THC content greater than 11%.

C.Find the 60th percentile for this distribution.

Solution:

The random variable X is defined as the THC content for a bag of marijuana that is sold on the street.

(a)

The random variable X is Normally distributed with mean, μ = 0.10 and standard deviation, σ = 0.02.

Thus, [tex]X\sim N(0.10,\ 0.02^{2})[/tex].

(b)

Compute the value of P (X > 0.11) as follows:

[tex]P(X>0.11)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{0.11-0.10}{0.02})\\=P(Z>0.50)\\=1-P(Z<0.50)\\=1-0.69146\\=0.30854\\\approx 0.31[/tex]

*Use a z-table.

Thus, the probability that a randomly selected bag of marijuana sold on the street will have a THC content greater than 11% is 31%.

(c)

The pth percentile is a data value such that at least p% of the data-set is less than or equal to this data value and at least (100 - p)% of the data-set are more than or equal to this data value.

Let x represent the 60th percentile value.

The, P (X < x) = 0.60.

⇒ P (Z < z) = 0.60

The value of z for this probability is,

z = 0.26.

Compute the value of x as follows:

[tex]z=\farc{x-\mu}{\sigma}\\0.26=\farc{x-0.10}{0.02}\\x=0.10+(0.26\times 0.02)\\x=0.1052\\x\approx 0.11[/tex]

Thus, the 60th percentile is 11%.

The diameters of a batch of ball bearings are known to follow a normal distribution with a mean 4.0 in and a standard deviation of 0.15 in. If a ball bearing is chosen randomly, find the probability of realizing the following event: (a) a diameter between 3.8 in and 4.3 in, (b) a diameter smaller than 3 9 in, (c) a diameter larger than 4.2 in

Answers

Answer:

a) 88.54% probability of a diameter between 3.8 in and 4.3 in

b) 25.14% probability of a diameter smaller than 3.9in

c) 90.82% probability of a diameter larger than 4.2 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples 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.

In this problem, we have that:

[tex]\mu = 4, \sigma = 0.15[/tex]

(a) a diameter between 3.8 in and 4.3 in,

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 4.3 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 3.8.

X = 4.3

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

[tex]Z = \frac{4.3 - 4}{0.15}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 2[/tex]

[tex]Z = 2[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.9772

X = 3.8

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

[tex]Z = \frac{3.8 - 4}{0.15}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1.33[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1.33[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.0918

0.9772 - 0.0918 = 0.8854

88.54% probability of a diameter between 3.8 in and 4.3 in

(b) a diameter smaller than 3 9 in,

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 3.9. So

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

[tex]Z = \frac{3.9 - 4}{0.15}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -0.67[/tex]

[tex]Z = -0.67[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.2514

25.14% probability of a diameter smaller than 3.9in

(c) a diameter larger than 4.2 in

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 4.2. So

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

[tex]Z = \frac{4.2 - 4}{0.15}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.33[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.33[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.9082

90.82% probability of a diameter larger than 4.2 in

Answers

Answer:

0.64 ± 0.1117 or

[tex]0.64\pm 1.645*\sqrt{\frac{0.64*(0.36)}{50}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Sample size (n) = 50

Z-score for a 90% confidence interval (z) = 1.645

Proportion of students that read at least one book (p):

[tex]p=\frac{32}{50}=0.64[/tex]

The confidence interval is given by:

[tex]p\pm z*\sqrt{\frac{p*(1-p)}{n} }[/tex]

Applying the given data:

[tex]0.64\pm 1.645*\sqrt{\frac{0.64*(1-0.64)}{50}}\\ 0.64\pm 0.1117[/tex]

The confidence interval is 0.64 ± 0.1117

The 90 percent confidence interval for the proportion of all students in her district who read at least 1 book last month is [tex]0.64\pm 0.11178[/tex].

Given information:

From a random sample of 50 (n) students, Alma found that 32 students read at least 1 book last month.

Alma is estimating the proportion of students in her school district who, in the past month, read at least 1 book.

It is required to find the 90 percentage confidence interval for the proportion of all students in her district who read at least 1 book last month.

Now, from tha table, the z-score of 90 percent confidence level is,

[tex]z=1.645[/tex]

The probability p for the proportion of students who read atleast one book is,

[tex]p=\dfrac{32}{50}\\p=0.64[/tex]

So, the 90 percent confidence interval will be calculated as,

[tex]p\pm z\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}=0.64\pm 1.645\times \sqrt{\dfrac{0.64(1-0.64)}{50}}\\=0.64\pm 0.11178[/tex]

Therefore, the 90 percent confidence interval for the proportion of all students in her district who read at least 1 book last month is [tex]0.64\pm 0.11178[/tex].

Find the derivative.
StartFraction d Over dt EndFraction Integral from 0 to t Superscript 8 StartRoot u cubed EndRoot du
a. by evaluating the integral and differentiating the result.
b. by differentiating the integral directly.

Answers

Answer:

Using either method, we obtain:  [tex]t^\frac{3}{8}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

a) By evaluating the integral:

 [tex]\frac{d}{dt} \int\limits^t_0 {\sqrt[8]{u^3} } \, du[/tex]

The integral itself can be evaluated by writing the root and exponent of the variable u as:   [tex]\sqrt[8]{u^3} =u^{\frac{3}{8}[/tex]

Then, an antiderivative of this is: [tex]\frac{8}{11} u^\frac{3+8}{8} =\frac{8}{11} u^\frac{11}{8}[/tex]

which evaluated between the limits of integration gives:

[tex]\frac{8}{11} t^\frac{11}{8}-\frac{8}{11} 0^\frac{11}{8}=\frac{8}{11} t^\frac{11}{8}[/tex]

and now the derivative of this expression with respect to "t" is:

[tex]\frac{d}{dt} (\frac{8}{11} t^\frac{11}{8})=\frac{8}{11}\,*\,\frac{11}{8}\,t^\frac{3}{8}=t^\frac{3}{8}[/tex]

b) by differentiating the integral directly: We use Part 1 of the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus which states:

"If f is continuous on [a,b] then

[tex]g(x)=\int\limits^x_a {f(t)} \, dt[/tex]

is continuous on [a,b], differentiable on (a,b) and  [tex]g'(x)=f(x)[/tex]

Since this this function [tex]u^{\frac{3}{8}[/tex] is continuous starting at zero, and differentiable on values larger than zero, then we can apply the theorem. That means:

[tex]\frac{d}{dt} \int\limits^t_0 {u^\frac{3}{8} } } \, du=t^\frac{3}{8}[/tex]

Given:

Given that the radius of the circle is 12 inches.

The angle of the shaded sector is 210°

We need to determine the area of the shaded sector.

Area of the shaded sector:

The area of the shaded sector can be determined using the formula,

[tex]Area =(\frac{\theta}{360}) \pi r^2[/tex]

Substituting [tex]\theta=210[/tex] and r = 12, we get;

[tex]Area =(\frac{210}{360}) (3.142)(12)^2[/tex]

Simplifying, we get;

[tex]Area =(\frac{210}{360}) (3.142)(144)[/tex]

An archer is able to hit the bull's-eye 53% of the time. If she shoots 10 arrows, what is the probability that she gets exactly 4 bull's-eyes?


Answers

Final answer:

To find the probability that the archer gets exactly 4 bull's-eyes out of 10 shots, use the binomial probability formula. The probability is approximately 0.221.

Explanation:

To find the probability that the archer gets exactly 4 bull's-eyes out of 10 shots, we can use the binomial probability formula. The formula is:

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

Where:

P(x) is the probability of getting exactly x successesn is the number of trialsx is the number of successes we want to find the probability forp is the probability of a single success

In this case, n = 10, x = 4, and p = 0.53 (since the archer hits the bull's-eye 53% of the time).

Plugging these values into the formula:

P(4) = 10C4 * (0.53)^4 * (1-0.53)^(10-4)

Calculating this gives us P(4) ≈ 0.221

Final answer:

To find the probability of exactly 4 bull's-eyes out of 10 shots for an archer with a 53% success rate, use the binomial probability formula, resulting in approximately a 20.6% chance.

Explanation:

The probability that an archer who hits the bull's-eye 53% of the time getting exactly 4 bull's-eyes out of 10 shots can be calculated using the binomial probability formula: P(X = k) = nCk × p^k × (1 - p)^(n - k), where:

n is the number of trials (10 arrows)

k is the number of successes (4 bull's-eyes)

p is the probability of success on a single trial (0.53)

nCk is the number of combinations of n things taken k at a time

Applying these values:

Calculate the number of combinations for getting 4 successes out of 10 trials:

10C4 = 210.

Calculate the probability of getting exactly 4 bull's-eyes:

P(X = 4) = 210 × (0.53)^4 × (0.47)^6.

Compute the result:

P(X = 4) ≈ 0.206 (rounded to three decimal places).

The archer has approximately a 20.6% chance of hitting exactly 4 bull's-eyes out of 10 shots.

The division uses absorption costing for internal profit reporting and had an appropriate level of inventory at the beginning of the period. The division manager knows that he can boost profits by increasing production at the end of the period. The increased production will allocate fixed costs over a greater number of units, reducing cost of goods sold and increasing earnings. Unfortunately, it is unlikely that additional production will be sold, resulting in a large ending inventory balance. The division manager has come to Aston Melon, the divisional controller, to determine exactly how much additional production is needed to increase net income enough to meet the division's profit objectives.
