Let P be the number of kids,
we know P>57
take 1-(1/2)-(1/5)=3/10
therefore 57 is 3/10P
3/7P=57
P=57*7/3=133 is the answer
it would be incorrect if we didnt get a positive integer.

9966 [12]

Answer:

A) 0.1636

B) 0.7292

C) 0.0305

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a binomial probability distribution question that follows;

P(X = x) = nCx × p^(x) × q^(n - x)

In this case, p = 64% = 0.64

q = 1 - p = 1 - 0.64 = 0.36

Thus;

A) P(exactly 5) = P(5) = 10C5 × 0.64^(5) × 0.36^(10 - 5) = 0.1636

B) P(at least 6) = P(x ≥ 6) = P(6) + P(7) + P(8) + P(9) + P(10)

P(6) = 10C6 × (0.64^(6)) × (0.36^(10 - 6)) = 0.2424

P(7) = 10C7 × (0.64^(7)) × (0.36^(10 - 7)) = 0.2462

P(8) = 10C8 × (0.64^(8)) × (0.36^(10 - 8)) = 0.1642

P(9) = 10C9 × (0.64^(9)) × (0.36^(10 - 9)) = 0.0649

P(10) = 10C10 × (0.64^(10)) × (0.36^(10 - 10)) = 0.0115

Thus;

P(x ≥ 6) = 0.2424 + 0.2462 + 0.1642 + 0.0649 + 0.0115

P(x ≥ 6) = 0.7292

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

From online binomial probability calculator, we have;

P(x < 4) = 0.0305

Orlov [11]
For this case, the first thing we must do is define variables.
 x: amount of time Miguel uses to complete the task.
 y: amount of time Maria uses to complete the task.
 We write the system of equations:
 x + y = 60
 y = (1/2) x
 Solving the system we have:
 x = 40 minutes
 y = 20 minutes
