Answer:

a) 0.778

b) 0.9222

c) 0.6826

d) 0.3174

e) 2 drivers

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Sample size, n = 5

P = 40% = 0.4

a) Probability that none of the drivers shows evidence of intoxication.

P(x=0) = ^nC_x P^x (1-P)^n^-^x

P(x=0) = ^5C_0  (0.4)^0 (1-0.4)^5^-^0

P(x=0) = ^5C_0 (0.4)^0 (0.60)^5

P(x=0) = 0.778

b) Probability that at least one of the drivers shows evidence of intoxication would be:

P(X ≥ 1) = 1 - P(X < 1)

= 1 - P(X = 0)

= 1 - ^5C_0 (0.4)^0 * (0.6)^5

= 1 - 0.0778

= 0.9222

c) The probability that at most two of the drivers show evidence of intoxication.

P(x≤2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2)

^5C_0  (0.4)^0  (0.6)^5 + ^5C_1  (0.4)^1  (0.6)^4 + ^5C_2  (0.4)^2  (0.6)^3

= 0.6826

d) Probability that more than two of the drivers show evidence of intoxication.

P(x>2) = 1 - P(X ≤ 2)

= 1 - [^5C_0  (0.4)^0  (0.6)^5 + ^5C_1  (0.4)^1  (0.6)^4 + ^5C_2 * (0.4)^2  (0.6)^3]

= 1 - 0.6826

= 0.3174

e) Expected number of intoxicated drivers.

To find this, use:

Sample size multiplied by sample proportion

n * p

= 5 * 0.40

= 2

Expected number of intoxicated drivers would be 2

A farmer has 96 apples to sell at the farmers market. She wants to bag the apples before going. How many ways can the farmer bag
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer and explanation:

Farmer's number of apples = 96 apples

Given that Farmer needs to bag the apples so that there are at least 4 apples in each bag(not less than 4 apples in each bag) and not more than 10 apples in each bag

And also all apples in each bag are equal

We need to find the numbers between 4 and 10(including 4 and 10) that can divide 96 without a remainder

4 can divide 96= 24

5 cannot divide 96 without remainder

6 can divide 96 =16

7 cannot divide 96 without remainder

8 can divide 96=12

9 cannot divide 96 without remainder

10 cannot divide 96 without remainder

From the above we see that the factors of 96 = 4, 6, 8 between 4 and 10

4 apples = 24 bags

6 apples = 16 bags

8 apples = 12 bags

Therefore, there can be 3 possible ways of having equal number of apples in each bag between 4 and 10 apples

The international cricket team is going to stadium to play the T20 cricket game. A coordinate grid is superimposed on a highway
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

The coordinate of the rest stop is: (5,2.5)

The distance between the hotel and the stadium is 32 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

(x_1,y_1) = (3,4) --- Team hotel

(x_2,y_2) = (7,1) --- Stadium

Solving (a): The coordinates of the rest stop

The rest stop is at half way;

So, the coordinate is:

(x,y) = \frac{1}{2}(x_1+x_2,y_1+y_2)

This gives:

(x,y) = \frac{1}{2}(3+7,4+1)

(x,y) = \frac{1}{2}(10,5)

Open bracket

(x,y) = (5,2.5)

Solving (b): Distance between the hotel and the stadium

We have:

(x_1,y_1) = (3,4) --- Team hotel

(x_2,y_2) = (7,1) --- Stadium

The distance (d) is:

d = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}

So, we have:

d = \sqrt{(3 - 7)^2 + (4 - 1)^2}

d = \sqrt{(-4)^2 + 3^2}

d = \sqrt{16 + 9}

d = \sqrt{25}

d =5

From the question, we have:

1\ unit = 6.4\ miles

So:

d =5 * 6.4\ miles

d =32\ miles
