According to a study done by a university​ student, the probability a randomly selected individual will not cover his or her mou

th when sneezing is 0.267. suppose you sit on a bench in a mall and observe​ people's habits as they sneeze. ​(a) what is the probability that among 18 randomly observed individuals exactly 8 do not cover their mouth when​ sneezing? ​(b) what is the probability that among 18 randomly observed individuals fewer than 6 do not cover their mouth when​ sneezing? ​(c) would you be surprised​ if, after observing 18 ​individuals, fewer than half covered their mouth when​ sneezing? why?

 Let X be a discrete binomial random variable.
 Let p = 0.267 be the probability that a person does not cover his mouth when sneezing.
 Let n = 18 be the number of independent tests.
 Let x be the number of successes.
 So, the probability that the 18 individuals, 8 do not cover their mouth after sneezing will be:

 a) P (X = 8) = 18! / (8! * 10!) * ((0.267) ^ 8) * ((1-0.267) ^ (18-8)).
 P (X = 8) = 0.0506.

 b) The probability that between 18 individuals observed at random less than 6 does not cover their mouth is:

 P (X = 5) + P (X = 4) + P (X = 3) + P (X = 2) + P (X = 1) + P (X = 0) = 0.6571.

 c) If it was surprising, according to the previous calculation, the probability that less than 6 people out of 18 do not cover their mouths is 66%. Which means it's less likely that more than half of people will not cover their mouths when they sneeze.

The two rectangular prisms are similar.
Liula [17]
If two solids are similar the ratio of the corresponding sides is called the linear scale factor while the ratio of the areas is called the area scale factor and the ratio of their volumes is the volume scale factor.
v.s.f = (l.s.f)³
in this case, the l.s.f = 5/15 = 1/3
therefore, the V.S.F = (1/3)³ = 1/27
Thus the volume of the larger prism = 60 ×27 
                                                          = 1620 cm³

Let f(x) = 4x - 5 and g(x) = 6x - 3. Find f(x) - g(x).
professor190 [17]
F(X) = 4x - 5
G(X) = 6x - 3

F(x) - G(x)

(4x - 5) - (6x - 3)

4x - 5 - 6x + 3

-2x - 2

-2(X + 1).

I believe this would be the simplified solution.
