According to the American Community Survey, 27% of residents of the United States 25 years old or older had earned a bachelor de

gree. Suppose you select 12 residents of the United States 25 years old or older and recorded the number who had earned a bachelor degree. Round probabilities to 4 decimal places.
Explain why this is a binomial experiment.

Find and interpret the probability that exactly 5 of them had a bachelor degree.

Find and interpret the probability that fewer than 5 of them had a bachelor degree.

Find and interpret the probability that at least 5 of them had a bachelor degree.

Compute the mean and standard deviation of the binomial random variable.

a. The reason why this question is a binomial experiment is based on the fact that it is made up of an independent sample, it has a number that is fixed and a probability.

Each event is made up of two outcomes and they are random with the same success rate.

<h3>b. How to solve probability that exactly 5 had a bachelor</h3>

we have the following data n = 12, p = 0.27 and k = 5

We have to use the function to solve electronically

binompdf(n,p,k)

input the values

= binompdf(12,0.27,5)

This gives us

= 0.1255

<h3>(C) Probability that fewer than 5 have bachelor</h3>

We use the formula below

= binompdf(12,0.27,5-1)

This is = 0.7984

D. Probability of at least 5

1 - probability of fewer than 5

= 1 - 0.7984

= 0.2016

How to solve for the Mean = n*p

n = 12 , p = 0.27

Mean = 12*0.27 = 3.24

and

standard deviation = √npq

n = 12, p = 0.27 , q = 1- 0.27

= 0.73

sd = √12*.27*.73

= 1.54

What is the equation of a line that passes through the point (8, −2) and is parallel to the line whose equation is 3x + 4y = 15?
Dafna1 [17]

Step 1

<u>Find the slope of the given line</u>

we have

3x+4y=15

Isolate the variable y

Subtract 3x both sides

3x+4y-3x=15-3x

4y=-3x+15

Divide by 4 both sides

y=-\frac{3}{4}x+ \frac{15}{4}

the slope of the given line is

m=-\frac{3}{4}

Step 2

Find the equation of the line that passes through  the point (8,-2) and is parallel to the given line

we know that

if two lines are parallel, then their slopes are equal

The equation of the line into point-slope form is equal to

y-y1=m(x-x1)

we have

m=-\frac{3}{4}

(x1,y1)=(8,-2)

substitute in the equation

y+2=-\frac{3}{4}(x-8)

y=-\frac{3}{4}x+6-2

y=-\frac{3}{4}x+4  or  3x+4y=16

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

y=-\frac{3}{4}x+4

or

3x+4y=16

Assume the rate of inflation is ​8% per year for the next 2 years. What will be the cost of goods 2 years from​ now, adjusted fo
Paha777 [63]
<h3>Answer: $326.59</h3>

==============================================

Work Shown:

F = future value

P = present value = 280

r = rate of inflation in decimal form = 0.08

t = elapsed time in years = 2

---------

F = P*(1+r)^t

F = 280*(1+0.08)^2

F = 326.592

F = 326.59

Matt is saving to buy a new motorcycle. If he deposits $70 at the end of each month in an account that pays an annual interest r
gladu [14]
P = $70,  p = 2.5% = 0.025
q = 1 + 0.025 / 12 = 1.002
Future value of a periodic deposit:
A = P · q · ( q^30 - 1 ) / ( q - 1 )
A = 70 · 1.002 · ( 1.002^30 - 1 ) / ( 1.002 - 1 )
A = $2,166
Answer:
He will have $2.166 in 30 months.
