How do you convert a radical expression to a rational exponent and vice versa?

1 answer:

5 0

Take the expression x^2/3 which has an exponent of 2/3. The top of the fraction refers to the power - that is x^2 ( x squared). and the 3 indicates a cubic root.

So in radical form it is ∛(x^2)

Converting radical to exponent an example would be

∛(x^5) = x^(5/3)

Forty percent of households say they would feel secure if they had $50,000 in savings. you randomly select 8 households and ask

Kay [80]

Answer:

Let X be the event of feeling secure after saving $50,000,

Given,

The probability of feeling secure after saving $50,000, p = 40 % = 0.4,

So, the probability of not feeling secure after saving $50,000, q = 1 - p = 0.6,

Since, the binomial distribution formula,

$P(x=r)=^nC_r p^r q^{n-r}$

Where, $^nC_r=\frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}$

If 8 households choose randomly,

That is, n = 8

(a) the probability of the number that say they would feel secure is exactly 5

$P(X=5)=^8C_5 (0.4)^5 (0.6)^{8-5}$

$=56(0.4)^5 (0.6)^3$

$=0.12386304$

(b) the probability of the number that say they would feel secure is more than five

$P(X>5) = P(X=6)+ P(X=7) + P(X=8)$

$=^8C_6 (0.4)^6 (0.6)^{8-6}+^8C_7 (0.4)^7 (0.6)^{8-7}+^8C_8 (0.4)^8 (0.6)^{8-8}$

$=28(0.4)^6 (0.6)^2 +8(0.4)^7(0.6)+(0.4)^8$

$=0.04980736$

(c) the probability of the number that say they would feel secure is at most five

$P(X\leq 5) = P(X=0) + P(X=1) + P(X=2) + P(X=3) + P(X=4) + P(X=5)$

$=^8C_0 (0.4)^0(0.6)^{8-0}+^8C_1(0.4)^1(0.6)^{8-1}+^8C_2 (0.4)^2 (0.6)^{8-2}+8C_3 (0.4)^3 (0.6)^{8-3}+8C_4 (0.4)^4 (0.6)^{8-4}+8C_5(0.4)^5 (0.6)^{8-5}$

$=0.6^8+8(0.4)(0.6)^7+28(0.4)^2(0.6)^6+56(0.4)^3(0.6)^5+70(0.4)^4(0.6)^4+56(0.4)^5(0.6)^3$

$=0.95019264$

Dawn comma Sergio comma Tyrone comma and Jim have all been invited to a dinner party. They arrive randomly and each person arriv

professor190 [17]

Answer:

a. 24

b. 2

c. 0.0833 = 8.33%

Step-by-step explanation:

The first "slot" of person to arrive has 4 possibilities, then the second "slot" will have 3 possibilities, as one has already arrived, then the third "slot" has 2 possibilities, and the fourth "slot" has just 1 possibility.

So, multiplying all these combinations, we have 4*3*2*1 = 24 possible ways they can arrive

If the first and the last person are already "locked", we just have possibilities for the second and third person. The second will have 2 possibilities (Sergio or Tyrone), and the third will have only 1 (the person that wasn't the second between Sergio and Tyrone). So, the number of possibilities is 2*1 = 2

If we have 2 cases where Dawn is first and Jim is last, from a total of 24 possible cases, the probability is 2/24 = 1/12 = 0.0833 = 8.33%
