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

Number of Gallons 2 4 x
Travka [436]

Answer:

The value of x is 8 gallon.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a table  showing approximate conversion from gallons to liters.

Number of Gallons    2      4      x

Number of Liters      7.6  15.2  30.4

We are required to find value of x,

Given : 2 gallon is equal to 7.6 liters.

⇒  1 liter is equal to \frac{2}{7.6}=0.263 liters. ........(1)

given, x gallon equal to 30.4 liters.

⇒ 1 liter is equal to \frac{x}{30.4} liters.  .........(2)

from (1) and (2),

⇒  0.263=\frac{x}{30.4}

Solving for x, we get,

⇒  0.263 \times 30.4=x

⇒  7.9952=x

Approximately x = 8

Thus, the value of x is 8 gallon.
