Answer:

a.  0.6588

b. 0.3978

c. 0. 279

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given question the success and failure are given the number of outcomes is fixed so binomial distribution can be applied.

Here success=  p = 12 % or 12/100 = 0.12

failure = q= 1-p = 1-0.12 = 0.88

n= 10

Using binomial probability distribution

a. Probability that the number of selected adults saying they were too young is 0 or 1 is calculated as:

P (x=0,1) = 0.12 ⁰(0.88)¹⁰10 C0  + 0.12 (0.88)⁹ 10 C1=  1* 0.279 * 1  + 0.12 ( 0.3165) 10 =  0. 279 + 0.3978=  0.6588

b. Probability that exactly one of the selected adults says that he or she was too young to get tattoos is calculated as

P (x=1) =  0.12 (0.88)⁹ 10 C1=  0.12 ( 0.3165) 10 =  0.3978

c. Probability that none of the selected adults say that they were too young to get tattoos is

P (x=0) = 0.12 ⁰(0.88)¹⁰10 C0  =  1* 0.279 * 1   =  0. 279

Answer:

x=13, 16(x-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

For 38, you have to first divide both sides by 2.

This becomes, x-6=7

Add 6 to both sides

x=13.

For 40. You can can distribute the 8.

ruslelena [56]
Solution:
3,500,000 - 2,030,000 = 1,470,000 square miles
Explanation:
Let's fully understand what this word problem is saying. Break it down.
The Sahara Desert is the largest desert in the world.
The Australian Desert is the second largest desert. 
This means that the Australian Desert has an area that is less than the Sahara desert. 
We are given the size of the Sahara, which is 3,500,000 square miles, but not the size of the Australian desert.The area of the Australian desert is less by 2,030,000 square miles.This is the amount we have to subtract from the area of the Sahara to find the size of the Australian desert:
3,500,000-2,030,000= 1,470,000 square miles. Hope this helps!

2. A man buys eggs at 55kobo a score . he finds that 10% of the eggs are unsellable but sells the rest at 60kobo a dozen .find i
liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

Percentage Profit is 63.63%

Step-by-step explanation:

The man buys 440 eggs at 55 pence a score

i.e. he buys 20 eggs for 55 pence

He buys 1 egg for 55/20 = 2.75 pence

Therefore, he buys 440 eggs for = 440 × 2.75 = 1210 pence

10% eggs are unsaleable

thus he sold = 440 - 440 × 10/100 = 440 - 44 = 396 eggs

Eggs sold in dozen = 396/12 = 33

He sold 1 dozen for = 60 pence

Thus, he sold 33 dozen for = 33 × 60 = 1980 pence

Profit = 1980 - 1210 = 770 pence

% Profit = (770/1210) × 100 = 63.63%

(hope this helps can i plz have brainlist :D hehe)
