A national standard requires that public bridges over feet in length must be inspected and rated every 2 years. The rating scale ranges from 0 (poorest rating) to 9 (highest rating). A group of engineers used a probabilistic model to forecast the inspection ratings of all major bridges in a city. For the year 2020, the engineers forecast that % of all major bridges in that city will have ratings of 4 or below. Complete parts a and b. a. Use the forecast to find the probability that in a random sample of major bridges in the city, at least 3 will have an inspection rating of 4 or below in 2020. P(x3) nothing (Round to five decimal places as needed.)

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

A national standard requires that public bridges over 20 feet in length must be inspected and rated every 2 years. The rating scale ranges from 0 (poorest rating) to 9 (highest rating). A group of engineers used a probabilistic model to forecast the inspection ratings of all major bridges in a city. For the year 2020, the engineers forecast that 4%of all major bridges in that city will have ratings of 4 or below.

a. Use the forecast to find the probability that in a random sample of major bridges in the city, at least 3 will have an inspection rating of 4 or below in 2020.

This problem is a probability binomial distribution and it can be solved using the formula:

Hence the solution to the problem is given as:

P(x ≥ 3) = 1 - P(x < 3) = 1 - [ P(x=0) + P(x=1) + P(x = 2)]

Given that p = 4% = 0.04, q = 1 - p = 1 - 0.04 = 0.96, n = 10. Hence:

"it's not the heat, it's the humidity".   that's a partly valid phrase you may have heard in the summer, but it's actually both.   the heat index, also known as the apparent temperature, is what the temperature feels like to the human body when relative humidity is combined with the air temperature.   this has important considerations for the human body's comfort.   when the body gets too hot, it begins to perspire or sweat to cool itself off.   if the perspiration is not able to evaporate, the body cannot regulate its temperature.   evaporation is a cooling process.   when perspiration is evaporated off the body, it effectively reduces the body's temperature.   when the atmospheric moisture content (i.e. relative humidity) is high, the rate of perspiration from the body decreases.   in other words, the human body feels warmer in humid conditions.   the opposite is true when the relative humidity decreases because the rate of perspiration increases.   the body actually feels cooler in arid conditions.   there is direct relationship between the air temperature and relative humidity and the heat index, meaning as the air temperature and relative humidity increase (decrease), the heat index increases (decreases).
