Answer:

a) 0.1423

b) 0.2977

c) 0.56

Step-by-step explanation:

For each driver stopped for speeding, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they have invalid licenses, or they do not. The probability of a driver having an invalid license is independent from other drivers. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this problem.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

In this problem we have that:

13 percent of the drivers stopped for speeding have invalid licenses.

This means that p = 0.13

14 drivers are stopped

This means that n = 14

(a) None will have an invalid license.

This is P(X = 0)

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 0) = C_{14,0}.(0.13)^{0}.(0.87)^{14} = 0.1423

(b) Exactly one will have an invalid license.

This is P(X = 1)

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 1) = C_{14,1}.(0.13)^{1}.(0.87)^{13} = 0.2977

(c) At least 2 will have invalid licenses.

Either less than 2 have invalid licenses, or at least 2 does. The sum of the probabilities of these events is decimal 1. Mathematically, this is

P(X < 2) + P(X \geq 2) = 1

We want P(X \geq 2)

So

P(X \geq 2) = 1 - P(X < 2)

In which

P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.1423 + 0.2977 = 0.44

P(X \geq 2) = 1 - P(X < 2) = 1 - 0.44 = 0.56

Verizon [17]

a. If we subtract 75 from 550 twice, we get 400, which is the third member to join. Subtract 75 from 400, we get $325, the fourth member to join.

b. It is not possible that a member would join for free if it was a large family. 75 does not fit into 550 evenly. You can prove this by solving the expression 550÷75.

c. The lowest amount that a member would pay to join is $25.00. It would be the 7th member.

The answer is  just 24.3 miles.

The questions asked "How long was the ride from Kiley's house to the airport?"

The first sentence of the problem reads "They drove 24.3 miles from their house to the airport in an hour". The rest of the information isn't necessary to find this answer.
