Answer:
The probability is 0.0428
Step-by-step explanation:
First, let's remember that the binomial distribution is given by the formula:
where k is the number of successes in n trials and p is the probability of success.
However, the problem tells us that when there isn't a number of trials fixed, we can use the geometric distribution and the formula for getting the first success on the xth trial becomes:

The problem asks us to find the probability of the first success on the 4th trial (given that the first subject to be a universal blood donor will be the fourth person selected)
Using this formula with the parameters given, we have:
p = 0.05
x = 4
Substituting these parameters in the formula and solving it, we get:

Therefore, the probability that the first subject to be a universal blood donor is the fourth person selected is 0.0428 or 4.28%

Answer:
44.2%
Step-by-step explanation:
Rate of discount = (difference in prices / original price) x 100
Difference in price = $1299 - $725 = $574
Original price = $1299
($574 / $1299) x 100 = 44.187837%
the tenth is the first number after the decimal place. To convert to the nearest tenth, look at the number after the tenth (the hundredth). If the number is greater or equal to 5, add 1 to the tenth figure. If this is not the case, add zero
the hundredth figure is 8, which is greater than 5. 1 would be added to the tenth figure.
So it becomes 44.2%
