Exercise 4: An article in the Los Angeles Times (Dec. 3, 1993) reports that 1 in 500 people carry the defective gene that causes inherited colon cancer. In a sample of 2000 individuals, we are interested in the number of individuals who carry this gene. Typically 1 binomial distribution can be used to model this number. However, in the case of large n and small p, we can use Poisson distribution approximately.

Use binomial distribution to calculate the the probability that between 5 and 8 (in-clusive) carry the gene.

i think the answer is b.

step-by-step explanation:

not 100% sure though.

this is the formula: v = the value of investment at the end of the time period

p = the principal amount (the initial amount invested)

r = the annual interest rate

n = the annual frequency of compounding (how many times a year interest is added)

t = the number of years the money is invested

^ means raise to the power of

abby has a greater debt becasue she owea 5 more then alan does

c = 0.429t

step-by-step explanation:

the constant rate at which carlos harvests cassava is 35 minutes per 15 cassavas 15/35 = 0.429 cassava per minute

therefore, an equation that models the number of cassava (c) that harvest carlos in a time (t) is the following:

where t is the time in minutes.

this means that when 35 minutes have elapsed 15 cassava have been harvested, at 70 minutes 30 cassava have been harvested and so on.
