$ 247.62 - 100%
$ x - 15%

x = (247.62*15)/100 = 37,143
$ 247.62 + $37.143 = $ 284,763 ≈ $ 285

For a binomial distribution with p = 0.20 and n = 100, what is the probability of obtaining a score less than or equal to x = 12

notsponge [240]

The binomial distribution is given by,
P(X=x) = $(^{n}C_{x})p^{x} q^{n-x}$
q = probability of failure = 1-0.2 = 0.8
n = 100
They have asked to find the probability <span>of obtaining a score less than or equal to 12.
</span>∴ P(X≤12) = $(^{100}C_{x})(0.2)^{x} (0.8)^{100-x}$
where, x = 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12
∴ P(X≤12) = $(^{100}C_{0})(0.2)^{0} (0.8)^{100-0} + (^{100}C_{1})(0.2)^{1} (0.8)^{100-1}$ + $(^{100}C_{2})(0.2)^{2} (0.8)^{100-2} + (^{100}C_{3})(0.2)^{3} (0.8)^{100-3}$ + $(^{100}C_{4})(0.2)^{4} (0.8)^{100-4} + (^{100}C_{5})(0.2)^{5} (0.8)^{100-5}$ + $(^{100}C_{6})(0.2)^{6} (0.8)^{100-6} + (^{100}C_{7})(0.2)^{7} (0.8)^{100-7}$ + $(^{100}C_{8})(0.2)^{8} (0.8)^{100-8} + (^{100}C_{9})(0.2)^{9} (0.8)^{100-9}$ + $(^{100}C_{10})(0.2)^{10} (0.8)^{100-10} + (^{100}C_{11})(0.2)^{11} (0.8)^{100-11}$ + $(^{100}C_{12})(0.2)^{12} (0.8)^{100-12}$

Evaluating each term and adding them you will get,
P(X≤12) = 0.02532833572
This is the required probability.

Sections of prefabricated fencing are each 4 1/3 feet long. how long are 6 1/2 sections placed end to end

zalisa [80]

we know that

$4\frac{1}{3}= \frac{(4*3+1)}{3} =\frac{13}{3}$

$6\frac{1}{2}= \frac{(6*2+1)}{2}=\frac{13}{2}$

To find how long are $6\frac{1}{2}$ sections placed end to end

Multiply the number of sections by the length of one section

so

$\frac{13}{2} *\frac{13}{3} =\frac{169}{6}\ ft$

$\frac{169}{6}\ ft =28\frac{1}{6}\ ft$

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

$28\frac{1}{6} \ ft$

A pharmacist needs 500 milliliters of a 20% phenobarbital solution but has only 5% and 25% phenobarbital solutions available. Fi

sladkih [1.3K]

Let x be ml of 5% soln.

let 500-x be ml of 25% soln.

.

x*.05=.05x

(500-x)*.25=125-.25x

500*.20=100

.

.05x+125-.25x=100

-.2x=-25

x=-25/-.2

x=125 ml of 5% soln.

500-x=375 ml of 25% soln.

.

Check:

125*.05= 6.25

375*.25=93.75

A cube has a surface are of 3750 find the length on one side

Agata [3.3K]

A cube has six sides so you divide 3750 by 6 to find the area of a single face. This would be 625. Area is length times width and since it is a cube you know that both are the same. This gives you an answer of 25.
