Answer:

The distributive property helps in making difficult problems simpler. You can use the distributive property of multiplication to rewrite expression by distributing or breaking down a factor as a sum or difference of two numbers.

Here, for instance, calculating 8 × 27 can made easier by breaking down 27 as 20 + 7 or 30 − 3.

A survey reported that 5% of Americans are afraid of being alone in a house at night. If a random sample of 20 Americans is sele

liq [111]

Answer:

5.96% probability that exactly 3 people in the sample are afraid of being alone at night.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each person, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they are afraid of being alone at night, or they are not. The probability of a person being afraid of being alone at night is independent of any other person. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

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

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