Assume that when adults with smartphones are randomly selected, 54% use them in meetings or classes (based on data from an lg sm

Answer: 0.951%

Explanation:

Note that in the problem, the scenario is either the adult is using or not using smartphones. So, we have a yes or no scenario involved with the random variable, which is the number of adults using smartphones. Thus, the number of adults using smartphones follows the binomial distribution.

Let x be the number of adults using smartphones and n be the number of randomly selected adults. In Binomial distribution, the probability that there are k adults using smartphones is given by

P(x = k) = \frac{n!}{k!(n-k)!}p^k (1-p)^{n-k}

Where p = probability that an adult is using smartphones = 54% (since 54% of adults are using smartphones). 

Since n = 12 and k = 3, the probability that fewer than 3 are using smartphones is given by

P(x \ \textless \  3) = P(x = 0) + P(x = 1) + P(x = 2)
\\ \indent = \frac{12!}{0!(12-0)!}(0.54)^0 (1-0.54)^{12-0} + \frac{12!}{1!(12-1)!}(0.54)^1 (1-0.54)^{12-1} + \\ \indent \frac{12!}{2!(12-2)!}(0.54)^2 (1-0.54)^{12-2}
\\
\\ \indent = \frac{12!}{(1)(12!)}(0.46)^{12} + \frac{12(11!)}{(1)(11!)}(0.54)(0.46)^{11}+ \frac{12(11)(10!)}{(2)(10!)}(0.54)^2(0.46)^{10}
\\
\\ \indent = (1)(0.46)^{12} + (12)(0.54)(0.46)^{11}+ (66)(0.54)^2(0.46)^{10}
\\ \indent \boxed{P(x \ \textless \  3) \approx 0.00951836732 }


Therefore, the probability that there are fewer than 3 adults are using smartphone is 0.00951 or 0.951%.

Plz do this and show all the work. Use factoring
Anika [276]
Answer:
x1=-1, x2=4/5

Step by step explanation:
5x^2 - 4 + x = 0
Use the commutative property to reorder the terms:
5x^2+x-4=0
Write x as a difference:
5x^2+5x-4x-4=0
Factor out 5x from the expression:
5xx(x-1)-4x - 4=0
Factor out -4 from the expression:
5xx(x+1) - 4 (x-1)=0
Factor out x+1 from the expression:
(x-1) x (5x-4) =0
When the product of factors equal 0 at least one factor is 0
X + 1 = 0
5x - 4 = 0
Solve the equation:
The equation has two solutions
X1=-1, x2 = 4/5
