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

artphone survey). if 12 adult smartphone users are randomly selected, find the probability that fewer than 3 of them use their smartphones in meetings or classes.

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%.

Find the equation of the line that goes through the points (4, –1) and (2, –5).
exis [7]

\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{4}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-1})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{2}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-5}) \\\\\\ slope = m\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{-5-(-1)}{2-4}\implies \cfrac{-5+1}{-2}\implies \cfrac{-4}{-2}\implies 2 \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-(-1)=2(x-4) \\\\\\ y+1=2x-8\implies y=2x-9

Rectangle M was dilated to form rectangle M’. What ratio is the scale factor?
Gemiola [76]

Solution:

we are given that

Rectangle M was dilated to form rectangle M’.

we have been asked to find

What ratio is the scale factor?

we can find the required ratio by dividing the corresponding sides of the given rectangles as below:

Ratio=\frac{6}{4}=\frac{2}{4/3}\\ \\\\

Ratio=\frac{3}{2}=\frac{6}{4} \\ \\ \ Ratio=\frac{3}{2}=\frac{3}{2}\\

Hence the required ratio is 3/2.

The function f(r) = π determines the area of a circle in cm2, A, in terms of the radius of the circle in cm, r. a. Write a funct
ollegr [7]

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

a.f(r)=\pi r^2

A=\pi r^2

r^2=\frac{A}{\pi}

g(A)=r=\sqrt{\frac{A}{\pi}}

b.Radius=2.58 cm

Substitute the values in the formula and \pi=3.14

f(2.58)=3.14(2.58)^2=20.9 cm^2

Hence, the area of circle =20.9 square cm

c.Area of circle=1530 square cm

r=\sqrt{\frac{1530}{3.14}}=22.07 cm

Hence, the radius of circle=22.07 cm

c.Area of circle of radius 15.2 cm=A_1=3.14(15.2)^2=725.47 cm^2

Area of circle of radius 15.1 cm=A_2=3.14(15.1)^2=715.95 cm^2

A_1-A_2=725.47-715.95=9.52 cm^2

Hence, the area of circle whose radius is 15.2 cm is greater than the area of circle of radius 15.1 cm by 9.52 square cm .
