The probability is 0.337.

The probability that more than 3 prefer brand c is the same as finding the probability that 4 or 5 prefer brand c.  Using a binomial distribution,

_5C_4(0.6)^4(0.4)^{5-4}+_5C_5(0.6)^5(0.4)^{5-5}
\\
\\=\frac{5!}{4!1!}(0.6)^4(0.4)^1+\frac{5!}{5!0!}(0.6)^5(0.4)^0
\\
\\=5(0.6)^4(0.4)+1(0.6)^5(1)=0.33696\approx0.337

dimulka [17.4K]
Hi! Basically, the problem is asking us to find the values of a, b, and c in the equation f(x)=a x^{2} +bx+c. Since we have three unknowns, we just need three equations. We can find these equations by using the data in the table.

First let's plug x = 0 and f(x) = 0.
0=0+0+c
c=0

Now that we know c, it's time to pick two more pairs. Let's plug-in (2,78) and (4,152)

78=4a+2b
152=16a+4b

Before proceeding with the process of eliminating one variable, let us first reduce both equations to their lowest terms. We divide the first equation by 2 and we divide the second one by 4.

39=2a+b
38=4a+b

Next, we subtract equation 2 from equation 1.

1=-2a
a=-0.5

Finally, we substitute the value of a to equation 2 to get the value of b.

38=4(-0.5)+b
b=40

Therefore, the function should be f(x)=-0.5 x^{2} +40x

For each sequence find the first 4 terms and the 10th term
jolli1 [7]

Answer:For these, n is equal to the term you want. So you substitute the number in for whichever term you want. This means:

a) 1 (1st term) + 5 = 6

2 (2nd term) + 5 = 7

3 (3rd term) + 5 = 8

4 (4th term) + 5 = 9

10 (10th term) + 5 = 15

And so on for b (not going to keep writing the term, I’m sure you get that by now.

b) 2(1) - 1 = (2x1) - 1 = 1

2(2) - 1 = (2x2) - 1 = 3

2(3) - 1 = (2x3) - 1 = 5

2(4) - 1 = (2x4) - 1 = 7

2(10) - 1 = (2x10) - 1 = 19

Hope this helps :)
