Suppose that the probability that a person will develop hypertension over a life time is 60%. Of 13 graduating students from the same college are selected at random. find the mean number of the students who develop hypertension over a life time

The mean number of the students who develop hypertension over a life time is 7.8.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each person, there are only two possible outcomes, either they will develop hypertension, or they will not. The probability of a person developing hypertension is independent of any other person, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

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

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

Suppose that the probability that a person will develop hypertension over a life time is 60%.

This means that

13 graduating students from the same college are selected at random.

This means that

Find the mean number of the students who develop hypertension over a life time

The mean number of the students who develop hypertension over a life time is 7.8.

step-by-step explanation:

- "runner b is moving at a slower rate."

- "the graphs shown are graphs of distance(km) against time(min).

the slopes of this graphs are are given by:

slope = (change in y)/(change in x)

= (change in distance)/(change in time)

this is the formula for finding the speed. so, the slope of these graphs represent the speed of the runner.

taking each division in the graph to represent 1 on both axis:

runner a ⇒ speed = (2-0)/(1-0)

= 2/1

= 2 km/min

runner b ⇒ speed = (3-0)/(3-0)

= 3/3

= 1 km/min

this shows that   runner b is moving at a slower rate."
