A national college researcher reported that 67%of students who graduated from high school in 2012 enrolled in college. Twenty-nine high school graduates are sampled What is the mean number who enroll in college in a sample of 29 high school graduates? Round the answer to two decimal places. a) What is the standard deviation of the number who enroll in college in a sample of 29 high school graduates? Round the answer to four decimal places.

Mean is 19.43

Standard deviation is 2.5322

Step-by-step explanation:

For each student who graduated from high school in 2012, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they have enrolled in college, or they have not. The probability of a student having enrolled in college is independent of other students. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

67% of students who graduated from high school in 2012 enrolled in college.

This means that

Sample of 29 high school graduates

This means that

Mean

Standard deviation

(b) 240

step-by-step explanation:

first, we use the pythagorean formula using the given side lengths to find x. then we use x to find the side lengths. then we add the side lengths to find the perimeter.

pythagorean theorem formula:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

(x - 20)^2 + (x - 40)^2 = x^2

x^2 - 40x + 400 + x^2 - 80x + 1600 = x^2

x^2 -120x + 2000 = 0

(x - 100)(x - 20) = 0

x - 100 = 0 or x - 20 = 0

x = 100 or x = 20

we see that the solution x = 20 must be discarded because it will give a negative side length and a side length of 0. the only valid solution is x = 100.

perimeter = sum of the lengths of the sides

perimeter = x + x - 20 + x - 40

perimeter = 3x - 60

replace x with 100.

perimeter = 3(100) - 60

perimeter = 300 - 60

perimeter = 240
