The probability that four or fewer of the people who called will sign up for a class = 0.9805

For given question,

Eric estimates that one out of every five people who call for information about a class will sign up for the class.

Last week he receive nine calls.

We need to find the probability that four or fewer of the people who called will sign up for a class.

Total number of calls = 9

⇒ n = 9

Since one out of every five people who call for information about a class will sign up for the class.

the probability of success (p) = 1/5

                                                  = 0.2

and the probability of failure (q) = 1 - p

                                                      = 1 - 0.2

                                                      = 0.8

To find the probability that four or fewer of the people who called will sign up for a class.

So, x would take values 0, 1, 2, 3, 4

Using Binomial principal,

For x = 0,

P(x=0)= ~^9C_0(0.2)^0(0.8)^{9-0}\\\\P(x=0)=0.13422

For x = 1,

P(x=1)= ~^9C_1(0.2)^1(0.8)^{9-1}\\\\P(x=1)=0.30199

For x = 2,

P(x=2)= ~^9C_2(0.2)^2(0.8)^{9-2}\\\\P(x=2)=0.30199

For x = 3,

P(x=3)= ~^9C_3(0.2)^3(0.8)^{9-3}\\\\P(x=3)=0.17616

For x = 4,

P(x=4)= ~^9C_4(0.2)^4(0.8)^{9-4}\\\\P(x=4)=0.06606

So, the required probability would be,

P = P(x = 0) + P(x = 1) + P(x = 2) + P(x = 3) + P(x = 4)

P = 0.1342 + 0.3020 + 0.3020 + 0.1762 + 0.0661

P = 0.9805

Therefore, the probability that four or fewer of the people who called will sign up for a class = 0.9805

Find the term indicated in the expansion. (x - 3y)11; 8th term
Alja [10]
The term in the expansion:
T ( k+1) = n C k * A^(n-k) * B^k.
In this case: n = 11,  k + 1 = 8, so k = 7.
A = x, B = - 3 y
T 8 = 11 C 7 * x^(11-7) * ( - 3 y )^7 =
 =( 11 *10 * 9 * 8 * 7 * 6 * 5 ) / ( 7 * 6 * 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1  )* x^4 * ( - 2,187 y^7 ) =
= 330 * ( - 2,187 ) x^4 y^7 = - 721,710 x^4 y^7
