Answer:

22.60% probability that exactly 3 people are repeat offenders

Step-by-step explanation:

For each driver arrested selected, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they are repeat offenders, or they are not. The probability of an arrested driver being a repeat offender is independent from other arrested drivers. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this problem.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

In Illinois, 9% of all drivers arrested for DUI (Driving Under the Influence) are repeat offenders;

This means that p = 0.09

Suppose 28 people arrested for DUI in Illinois are selected at random.

This means that n = 28

a) What is the probability that exactly 3 people are repeat offenders

This is P(X = 3)

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 3) = C_{28,3}.(0.91)^{25}.(0.09)^{3} = 0.2260

22.60% probability that exactly 3 people are repeat offenders

I need some DETAILED examples of Dividing Integers! Urgent, pls help ASAP!
vfiekz [6]

Here are some examples:

Integers are positive and negative numbers, but dividing integers are dividing positive and negative numbers:

Remember these rules:

  1. Negative divided by a negative equals a positive.
  2. Negative divided by a positive equals a negative.
  3. Positive divided by a positive equals a positive .

Examples:

  • -4 \div 2 = -2
  • -4 \div -4 = 1
  • 4 \div 2 = 2

Hope this helps!
