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

F(x)=3x+5 and g(x)=2x+1<br><br>value of x​
AlekseyPX

You can treat x and 2x+1 just as though they are real numbers.

So f(2x+1) = 3(2x+1) - 5 = 6x + 3 - 5 = 6x - 2

In the above, I made use of something called the distributive law which says that if a,b and c are real numbers, then a(b+c) = ab + ac.

Find the product of (2a + 3b) (2a + 3b) using identities​
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

4a^2 + 12ab + 9b^2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the identity (a + b)(a + b) = a^2 + 2ab + b^2 :

So

(2a + 3b)(2a + 3b)

= (2a)^2 + 2*(2a)(3b) + (3b)^2

= 4a^2 + 12ab + 9b^2.
