Using binomial distribution, the probability of

a. 5 will still be with the company after 1 year is 28%.

b. at most 6 will still be with the company after 1 year is 89%.

The probability of a new employee in a fast-food chain still being with the company at the end of the year is given to be 0.6, which can be taken as the success of the experiment, p.

We are finding probability for people, thus, our sample size, n = 8.

Thus, we can show the given experiment a binomial distribution, with n = 8, and p = 0.6.

(i) We are asked for the probability that 5 will still be with the company.

Thus, we take x = 5.

P(X = 5) = (8C5)(0.6⁵)((1 - 0.6)⁸⁻⁵),

or, P(X = 5) = (56)(0.07776)(0.064),

or, P(X = 5) = 0.27869184 ≈ 0.28 or 28%.

(ii) We are asked for the probability that at most 6 will still be with the company.

Thus, our x = 6, and we need to take all values below it also.

P(X ≤ 6)

= 1 - P(X > 6)

= 1 - P(X = 7) - P(X = 8)

= 1 - (8C7)(0.6)⁷((1 - 0.6)⁸⁻⁷) - (8C8)(0.6)⁸((1 - 0.6)⁸⁻⁸)

= 1 - 8*0.0279936*0.4 - 1*0.01679616*1

= 1 - 0.08957952 - 0.01679616

= 0.89362432 ≈ 0.89 or 89%.

Answer:

<h2>10n - 3p - 12</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

(2n-3p)+4(2n-3)\qquad\text{use the distributive property}\\\\=2n-3p+(4)(2n)+(4)(-3)\\\\=2n-3p+8n-12\qquad\text{combine like terms}\\\\=(2n+8n)-3p-12\\\\=10n-3p-12

Solve the equation -x/6greaterthanequalto3
enot [183]

Answer (depending if the fraction is positive or negative):

  1. x ≥ 18
  2. x ≤ -18

Step-by-step explanation:

If the fraction is positive:

  1. Write it out: \frac{x}{6} \geq 3  
  2. Multiply each side by 6 to cancel out the 6 under x. It should now look like this: x ≥ 18

If the fraction is negative:

  1. Write it out: -\frac{x}{6} \geq 3  
  2. Multiply each side by -6 to cancel out the -6 under x. It should now look like this: x ≤ -18

I hope this helps!

The weight of oranges growing in an orchard is normally distributed with a mean weight of 6.5 oz. and a standard deviation of 1.
sergey [27]
Add 3 standard deviations above and below the mean to get the range in which 99.7% of the data in a normal distribution will fall
6.5 + 4.5 = 11
6.5 - 4.5 = 2
So 2 to 11 ounces would be the interval
