The probability that a randomly selected individual in a certain community has made an online purchase is 0.41 . Suppose that a

sample of 13 people from the community is selected, what is the probability that at most 3 of them has made an online purchase?
Write only a number as your answer. Round to 2 decimal places (for example 0.24). Do not write as a percentage.

Answer:

0.15

Step-by-step explanation:

What we can use to solve this problem is the Bernoulli approximation of the Binomial distribution.

When we say at most 3, it means 0 or 1 or 2 or 3 people out of the 13 made the purchase

Mathematically, the Bernoulli approximation is applied as follows

P(X = n) = nCr p^r q^n-r

let p = probability of making online purchase = 0.41

while q = 1-p = 1-0.41 = 0.59 which is the probability of not making an online purchase.

Mathematically for each of the approximations up to 3, we have ;

13C0 P^0 q^13 + 13C1 P^1 q^12 + 13C2 P^2 q^11 + 13C3 P^3 q^10

Making substitutions, we have

{1 * 0.41^0 * 0.59^13} + {13 * 0.41^1 * 0.59^12} + {78 * 0.41^2 * 0.59^11} + {286 * 0.41^3 * 0.59^10}

= 0.150820944904 which is 0.15 to 2 decimal places

Determine the least common denominator of 11/15 and 23/54 . 270 540 1080 90
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

270

Step-by-step explanation:

use lising method start with the larger number

54:54,108,162 216,270

15: instead of listing all 18 multiples, divide 15 into the multiples of 54 it only goes evenly into 270.

Or divide both denominators into your fir answer and see the smallest bith can go into evenly.

What is the area of this triangle?
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

Area of the given triangle = 6.51 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

If we redraw the triangle as shown in the figure attached we get the height of the triangle as x feet and base = 4.3 feet

Therefore area of ΔABC = (1/2) × Height (AD) × Base(BC)

From ΔABD

sin 53 = AD/AB = x/3.8

x = 3.8 × sin 53

= 3.8 × 0.7986 = 3.03 feet

Now area of ΔABC = (1/2)×3.03×4.3 = 6.51 feet²
