Answer:

a) 0.1091

b) 0.9994

c) 0.5886

Step-by-step explanation:

X = the number of fish out of 20 that die after 24 hours

x = 0, 1, 2, . . . , 20

X~ Binomial (n= 20, p =0.20)

P(14 survive) = P(X = 6)

= nC_r p^r q^{n-r}= 20C_6 0.2^6\times0.8^{14}=0.1091

Similarly we can find out

P(at least 10 survive) = P( X <= 10 ) = (Using technology) = 0.9994

P(at most 16 will survive) = P(X <= 16) = (Using technology) = 0.5886

What is the value of x in the equation-2/5x-2=18
Flura [38]
First we have to isolate the varible

-2/5x-2=18
        +2   +2

-2/5x=20

then divide both sides by -2/5 to get x completely by itself

-2/5x=20
-------  ---
-2/5     -2/5

x=-50

In a random sample of 70 people, it was found that 44 of them were fans of the New York Yankees. What is the margin of error for
Veronika [31]
The general formula for the margin of error would be:

z * √[p (1-p) ÷ n]

where:
z = values for selected confidence level
p = sample proportion
n = sample size

Since the confidence level is not given, we can only solve for the 
<span>√[p (1-p) ÷ n]  part.
</span>
p = 44/70
n = 70

√[44/70 (1 - (44/70) ÷ 70]

√[0.6286 (0.3714)] ÷ 70

√0.2335 ÷ 70

√0.0033357 = 0.05775 or 0.058 Choice B.
