Answer: 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Binomial probability formula :-

P(x)=^nC_x\ p^x(q)^{n-x}, where P(x) is the probability of getting success in x trials , n is the total trials and p is the probability of getting success in each trial.

Given : The probability that the adults follow more than one game = 0.30

Then , q= 1-p = 1-0.30=0.70

The number of adults surveyed : n= 15

Let X be represents the adults who follow more than one sport.

Then , the probability that fewer than 4 of them will say that football is their favorite sport,

P(X\leq4)=P(x=0)+P(x=1)+P(x=2)+P(x=3)+P(x=4)\\\\=^{15}C_{0}\ (0.30)^0(0.70)^{15}+^{15}C_{1}\ (0.30)^1(0.70)^{14}+^{15}C_{2}\ (0.30)^2(0.70)^{13}+^{15}C_{3}\ (0.30)^3(0.70)^{12}+^{15}C_{4}\ (0.30)^4(0.70)^{11}\\\\=(0.30)^0(0.70)^{15}+15(0.30)^1(0.70)^{14}+105(0.30)^2(0.70)^{13}+455(0.30)^3(0.70)^{12}+1365(0.30)^4(0.70)^{11}\\\\=0.515491059227\approx0.5

Hence, the probability rounded to the nearest tenth that fewer than 4 of them will say that football is their favorite sport =0.5

Which equation is equivalent to startroot x^2 + 81 EndRoot = x + 10?
Nitella [24]

Answer:given below

Step-by-step explanation:

sqrt x^2 +81= x + 10

x^2 + 81 = (x+10)^2

x^2 + 81 = x^2 + 20x + 100

so answer is:  

x^2 + 81 = x^2 +20x + 100

Hello everyone!
Ivan
After 1 year it is worth 108% of its original value
108% = 1.08
so 1.08 x 1000 = $1080

After 2nd year it is worth 92% of that $1080
92% = 0.92
so 0.92 x 1080 = $993.60

Use the graph that shows the solution to
Luda [366]

Answer:

The solution for f(x) = g(x) are;

x = 1 and x = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equations for the functions, g(x) are;

f(x) = \dfrac{1 + 2\cdot x}{x}

g(x) = 2 + x

The solution for f(x) = g(x), is given by equating the equations of the two functions as follows;

When f(x) = g(x), we have;

\dfrac{1 + 2\cdot x}{x} = 2 + x

By cross multiplication, we have;

1 + 2·x = x × (2 + x) = 2·x + x²

∴ x² + 2·x - 2·x - 1 = 0

x² - 1 = 0

(x - 1)·(x + 1) = 0

x = 1, or x = -1

f(x) = g(x) = 2 + 1 = 3, or 2 - 1 = 1

Therefore, the solution for f(x) = g(x) are;

f(x) = g(x) = 3 or 1 where x = 1 and x = -1.
