If about 20% of British children are deficient in vitamin and doctors test a group of elementary school children, the probability that the first vitamin d-deficient child is the 8th one tested is 4.19% determined using geometric distribution formula.
In probability and statistics, geometric distribution refers to the probability that first success would occurs after n number of trials and is given by:
P(X)=q^(x-1)p
Where p is the probability of success and q is (1-p)
In this case,
p=probability of children deficient in vitamin= 0.2
q= probability of children not deficient in vitamin= 0.8
Hence,
P(8)=0.8^(8-1)*0.2= 0.0419
Hence, the probability that 8th child is deficient is 4.19%

Adam pays for 2/5 of the meal so his father pays for 3/5
3/5 = 52.50
1/5 = 52.50 / 3 = 17.50
so cost of the meal = 5 * 17.50 = $87.50
Wow ! If I understand what's go0ing on here, then
we have to be careful, and THINK .
I was going to ask you "What does Ф mean ?", and then I realized,
Ф is a new operation that the teacher invented.
The first line on the board is the definition of Ф .
Ф means "<u>Add the two numbers and subtract 4</u>."
Now you have to use this new invention to find the value
of the second line:
Take care of the stuff inside the parentheses first: ( 4 Ф 2 )
<u>Add the two numbers and subtract 4
</u>4 + 2 - 4 = <u>2</u><u>
</u>That's the part inside the parentheses. It's <span><u>2</u> .</span><u>
</u>NOW, we have to do the new operation with the 2 inside,
and the 3 that's outside the parentheses:<u>
</u>3 Ф 2
<u>Add the two numbers and subtract 4</u>
3 + 2 - 4 =<u> 1</u>
And that's the final value of 3 Ф (4 Ф 2) . It's <u>1</u> .
Pretty sneaky.
