In a class of 20 students, twelve take mathematics and genetics, while eight take genetics only. What is the probability of selecting a student who takes only mathematics?arrow_forwardProblems 7, 8, 9 pertain to the following information. The health department of a combined city and county government seeks to determine the relationship between an air pollution index (on a scale of 0 to 10 from best to worst) and the number of admissions to area hospitals for acute respiratory distress. It collects data from 75 randomly selected days (the air pollution index z and the number of admissions y for each day) and computes: 3.0arrow_forwardV7arrow_forward2. In probability, it is common to model the deviation of a day's temperature from the monthly average temperature using the Gaussian probability density function, f(t) = This means that the probability that the day's temperature will be between t = a and t = b different from the monthly average temperature is given by the area under the graph of y = f(t) between t = a and t = b. A related function is 2 F(1) = e2/9 dt, r20. This function gives the probability that the day's temperature is between t = -x and t = r different from the monthly average temperature. For example, F(1) = (0.36 indicates that there's roughly a 36% chance that the day's temperature will be within 1 degree (between 1 degree less and 1 degree more) of the monthly average. 1 (a) Find a power series representation of F(r) (write down the power series using sigma notation).

In probability, it is common to model the deviation of a day's temperature from the monthly average temperature using the Gaussian probability density function, 1 f(t) = %3D e This means that the probability that the day's temperature will be between t = a and t = b different from the monthly average temperature is given by the area under the graph of y = f(t) between t = a and t = b. A related function is 2 F(2) = e-t /9 dt, x >0. x > 0. This function gives the probability that the day's temperature is between t = -x and t = x different from the monthly average temperature.
