Answer:

5.80% probability that exactly 1 resume will be from females.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each resume received by the corporation, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they are from a female, or they are not. The probability of a resume received being from a female is independent from other resumes. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

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.

22% of all resumes received by a corporation for a management position are from females.

This means that p = 0.22

18 resumes will be received tomorrow.

This means that n = 18

What is the probability that exactly 1 resume will be from females?

This is P(X = 1).

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

P(X = 1) = C_{18,1}.(0.22)^{1}.(0.78)^{17} = 0.0580

5.80% probability that exactly 1 resume will be from females.

7h+3s=27.95 subtract 7h from both sides

3s=27.95-7h  divide both sides by 3

s=(27.95-7h)/3

Then we are told:

5h+4s=23.4,  using s found above makes this equation become:

5h+4(27.95-7h)/3=23.4  multiply both sides by 3

15h+4(27.95-7h=70.2  perform indicated multiplication on left side

15h+111.8-28h=70.2 combine like terms on left side

-13h+111.8=70.2 subtract 111.8 from both sides

-13h=-41.6  divide both sides by -13

h=$3.20

Which product is negative?
GaryK [48]

The product that will give a negative answer is: −3 × 4 × (−2) × (−7) = -168.

<h3>How to Find the Product of Negative Numbers?</h3>

The rule when multiplying two negative numbers is that, the negative signs will cancel each other. That is, minus multiplied by minus will give as plus.

For example, -a × -b = ab

Also, "plus" multiplied by "minus" will also give as "minus. For example:

-a × b = -ab.

Using the above rule, let's find the product of the following:

−3 × 5 × (−6) × 4 = -15 × (-24)

−3 × 5 × (−6) × 4 = 360 [minus × minus = plus]

−7 × (−3) × (−9) × 0 = 0 [anything multiplied by 0 must result to 0]

−4 × (−6) × (−3) × (−5)

= 24 × 15

−4 × (−6) × (−3) × (−5)  = 360

−3 × 4 × (−2) × (−7)

= -12 × 14

−3 × 4 × (−2) × (−7) = -168

Therefore, the product that will give a negative answer is: −3 × 4 × (−2) × (−7) = -168.
