Genetic Defects Data indicate that a particular genetic defect occurs in of every children. The records of a medical clinic show children with the defect in a total of examined. If the children were a random sample from the population of children represented by past records, what is the probability of observing a value of equal to or more?

The probability that there exist 60 or more defected children is $P(x \ge 60)=0.0901$

Looking at the value for this probability we see that it is not so small to the point that the observation of this kind would be a rare occurrence

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

in every 1000 children a particular genetic defect occurs to 1

The number of sample selected is n= 50,000

The probability of observing the defect is mathematically evaluated as

$p = \frac{1}{1000}$

= 0.001

The probability of not observing the defect is mathematically evaluated as

q = 1-p

= 1-0.001

= 0.999

The mean of this probability is mathematically represented as

$\mu = np$

Substituting values

$\mu = 50000*0.001$

= 50

The standard deviation of this probability is mathematically represented as

$\sigma = \sqrt{npq}$

Substituting values

$= \sqrt{50000 * 0.001 * 0.999}$

$= \sqrt{49.95}$

= 7.07

the probability of detecting $x \ge60$ defects can be represented in as normal distribution like

$P(x \ge 60)$

in standardizing the normal distribution the normal area used to approximate $P(x \ge 60)$ is the right of 59.5 instead of 60 because x= 60 is part of the observation

The z -score is obtained mathematically as

$z = \frac{x-\mu }{\sigma }$

$= \frac{59.5 - 50 }{7.07}$

=1.34

The area to the left of z = 1.35 on the standardized normal distribution curve is 0.9099 obtained from the z-table shown z value to the left of the standardized normal curve

Note: We are looking for the area to the right i.e 60 or more

The total area under the curve is 1

$P(x \ge 60) \approx P(z 1.34)$

$= 1-P(z \le 1.34)$

=1-0.9099

=0.0901

Which themes are portrayed in this excerpt from leo tolstoy’s the death of ivan ilyich? praskovya fedorovna came of a good family, was not bad looking, and had some little property. ivan ilyich might have aspired to a more brilliant match, but even this was good. he had his salary, and she, he hoped, would have an equal income. she was well connected, and was a sweet, pretty, and thoroughly correct young woman. to say that ivan ilyich married because he fell in love with praskovya fedorovna and found that she sympathized with his views of life would be as incorrect as to say that he married because his social circle approved of the match. he was swayed by both these considerations: the marriage gave him personal satisfaction, and at the same time it was considered the right thing by the most highly placed of his associates. so ivan ilyich got married. conforming to social conventions criticism of a middle class lifestyle the destructive impact of loneliness struggling to face reality the necessity of companionship
