Answer:

The probability that conservative party wins all 3 seats is 0.216

The probability that conservative party wins exactly two seats is 0.432

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

The probability of a conservative candidate winning is p=0.6.

The probability of one progressive candidate will win is: 1-0.6=0.4

Part (a) What is the probability that the conservative party wins all three seats?

According to binomial distribution: b(x; n, p) =^nC_xp^x(1- p)^{n-x}

P(x=3) =^3C_3(0.6)^3 (0.4)^{3-3}

P(x=3) =(0.6)^3

P(x=3)=0.216

P(conservative party wins all 3 seats) = 0.216

Hence, the probability that conservative party wins all 3 seats is 0.216

Part (a) What is the probability that the conservative party wins exactly two seats?

P(x=2) =^3C_2(0.6)^2 (0.4)^{3-2}

P(x=2) =3(0.36)(0.4)

P(x=2) =0.432

Hence, the probability that conservative party wins exactly two seats is 0.432

100%-59%-=41%
41% divided by 94=0.44
59% divided by 6=9.83
9.83 divided by 0.44= 22.34. One of these 6 people would be 22.34 times as wealthy as one of these other 94 people.

HELP HELP !!!! PLEASE I NEED HELP WITH THIS PROBLEM !!!
Vesnalui [34]
This one is best done by elimination:

We need to start 4 meters away, so B is clearly wrong. 

We first move towards Mr. Wilson (i.e. distance is decreasing) so A is wrong.

Our speed is faster on the way back, so the two sloped section must have differing slopes, so D is wrong.
(D also doesn't start at 4, it's wrong for two reasons.)

Only C is left.

We can check each part to make sure. First we start at 4m, then move away, then stay still (zero slope) for three seconds, then move back faster (higher slope). All parts check out ok.
