A survey of high school juniors found that 82% of students plan on attending college. If you pick three at random, what is the p

robability that at least two plan on attending college? Round to the nearest percent.
I answered the question incorrectly, thinking it was 36% but the correct answer was 91%. Can someone please tell me what I did wrong and what is the rule or process I need to take. The book never showed me any other way to solve this just this: P(x) = nCx P^x q^n-x, I just want to learn the right way to avoid mistakes again for the upcoming test.
Please and thank you

Answer:

91%

You forgot to add 'all three'

Step-by-step explanation:

X ~ B(3, 0.82)

q = 1 - 0.82 = 0.18

Atleast 2 means:

X = 2, or 3

3C2(0.82)²(0.18) + 3C3(0.82)³(0.18)⁰

= 0.363096 + 0.551368

= 0.914464

= 91.4464%

m is the slope, and b is the y-intercept

so in the equation y = 4x - 3,

4 replaces the m as the slope and -3 replaces b for the y-intercept

so -3 is your answer

What is the area of a parallelogram if its length is x+4 and its height is x+3
lord [1]
Area of a parallelogram is:

\sf A=bh

Where 'b' is the base and 'h' is the height. Plug in what we know:

\sf A=(x+4)(x+3)

Distribute(multiply everything in the first parenthesis to everything in the second parenthesis):

\sf x\times x=x^2
\sf x\times 3=3x
\sf 4\times x=4x
\sf 4\times 3=12

So we have:

\sf A=x^2+3x+4x+12

Combine like terms(3x + 4x = 7x):

\sf A=\boxed{\sf x^2+7x+12}

What is the equation of a parabola with vertex (0, 0) and directrix x = -3.
miv72 [106K]

Answer:

{y}^{2}= 12x

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard equation of a parabola with vertex at the origin and and directix x=-p is of the form

{y}^{2} =  4{p}x

Where p is simplify the distance from the origin to the directrix.

That is

p =  3

{y}^{2}  = 4 \times 3x

This simplifies to

{y}^{2}= 12x
