He is incorrect because any number multiplied by 1 will stay the same, and so if he is going to multiply it by numbers less than one, he will have a lower number.

Alice needs to divide 1/4 pound of meat into three equal parts. What is the weight of each part?

Divide 1/4 by 3

$\frac{(1/4)}{3}=\frac{1}{12}\ pounds$

The weight of each part is $\frac{1}{12}\ pounds$

An airport limousine can accommodate up to four passengers on any one trip. The company will accept a maximum of six reservation

miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

a) 0.109375 = 0.109 to 3 d.p

b) 1.00 to 3 d.p

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of someone that made a reservation not showing up = 50% = 0.5

Probability of someone that made a reservation showing up = 1 - 0.5 = 0.5

a) If six reservations are made, what is the probability that at least one individual with a reservation cannot be accommodated on the trip?

For this to happen, 5 or 6 people have to show up since the limousine can accommodate a maximum of 4 people

Let P(X=x) represent x people showing up

probability that at least one individual with a reservation cannot be accommodated on the trip = P(X = 5) + P(X = 6)

P(X = x) can be evaluated using binomial distribution formula

Binomial distribution function is represented by

P(X = x) = ⁿCₓ pˣ qⁿ⁻ˣ

n = total number of sample spaces = 6

x = Number of successes required = 5 or 6

p = probability of success = 0.5

q = probability of failure = 0.5

P(X = 5) = ⁶C₅ (0.5)⁵ (0.5)⁶⁻⁵ = 6(0.5)⁶ = 0.09375

P(X = 6) = ⁶C₆ (0.5)⁶ (0.5)⁶⁻⁶ = 1(0.5)⁶ = 0.015625

P(X=5) + P(X=6) = 0.09375 + 0.015625 = 0.109375

b) If six reservations are made, what is the expected number of available places when the limousine departs?

Probability of one person not showing up after reservation of a seat = 0.5

Expected number of people that do not show up = E(X) = Σ xᵢpᵢ

where xᵢ = each independent person,

pᵢ = probability of each independent person not showing up.

E(X) = 6(1×0.5) = 3

If 3 people do not show up, it means 3 people show up and the number of unoccupied seats in a 4-seater limousine = 4 - 3 = 1

So, expected number of unoccupied seats = 1

the name Joe is very common at a school in one out of every ten students go by the name. If there are 15 students in one class,

kumpel [21]

Using the binomial distribution, it is found that there is a 0.7941 = 79.41% probability that at least one of them is named Joe.

For each student, there are only two possible outcomes, either they are named Joe, or they are not. The probability of a student being named Joe is independent of any other student, hence, the <em>binomial distribution</em> is used to solve this question.

<h3>Binomial probability distribution </h3>

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