Question:

Colorblindness is any abnormality of the color vision system that causes a person to see colors differently than most people, or to have difficulty distinguishing among certain colors Colorblindness is gender-based, while the majority of sufferers being males.

Roughly 8% of white males have some form of colorblindness, while the incidence among white females is only 1%. A random sample of 20 white males and 40 white females was chosen.

Let X be the number of males (out of the 20) who are colorblind.

Let Y be the number of females (out of the 40) who are colorblind.

What is the mean and standard deviation of the random variable Y (the number of females out of 40 who are color blind)? Answers may be rounded.

Given Information:

Female colorblindness proportion = 1%

Male colorblindness proportion = 8%

Female sample size = 40

Male sample size = 20

Required Information:

Mean = μ = ?

Standard deviation = σ = ?

Mean = μ = 0.40

Standard deviation = σ = 0.015

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us check if the condition np ≥ 10 is satisfied or not

np

40*0.01

0.4 < 10

Since the condition np ≥ 10 is not satisfied the binomial random variable cannot be well approximated by a normal random variable. A larger sample size would be required to satisfy the condition np ≥ 10.

The mean is

μ = np

μ = 40*0.01 = 0.40

The standard deviation is

σ = √p(1 - p)/n

σ = √0.01(1 - 0.01)/40

σ = 0.015

the ratio of white tiles to blue tiles is 48: 16. the ratio in it's simplest form is 3: 1.

step-by-step explanation:

ratio: take the first number and add a colon next to it, then add the second number after that. make sure the ratio order matches up with the written problem!

simplest form: we can simplify the ratio 48 : 16 by dividing both terms by the greatest common factor (gcf).

the gcf of 48 and 16 is 16.

divide both terms by 16:

48 ÷ 16 = 3

16 ÷ 16 = 1

reducing to simplest form:

48 : 16 = 3 : 1

2: 10
