Answer:

The probability that at most 6 will come to a complete stop is 0.7857.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let <em>X</em> = number of drivers come to a complete stop at an intersection having flashing red lights in all directions when no other cars are visible.

The probability of the event <em>X</em> is, P (X) = <em>p</em> = 0.25.

The sample of drivers randomly selected is of size, <em>n</em> = 20.

The random variable <em>X</em> follows a binomial distribution with parameters <em>n</em> = 6 and <em>p</em> = 0.25.

The probability function of  Binomial distribution is:

P(X=x)={n\choose x}p^{x}(1-p)^{n-x};\ x=0,1,2,...

Compute the probability that at most 6 will come to a complete stop as follows:

P (X ≤ 6) = P (X = 0) + P (X = 1) + P (X = 2) + P (X = 3)

                     + P (X = 4) + P (X = 5) + P (X = 6)

   ={20\choose 0}(0.25)^{0}(1-0.25)^{20-0}+{20\choose 1}(0.25)^{1}(1-0.25)^{20-1}+{20\choose 2}(0.25)^{2}(1-0.25)^{20-2}\\...+{20\choose 0}(0.25)^{6}(1-0.25)^{20-6}\\=0.0032+0.0211+0.0669+0.1339+0.1897+0.2023+0.1686\\=0.7857

Thus, the probability that at most 6 will come to a complete stop is 0.7857.

Miguel bought 8 equally priced pens for $3.84.<br><br> How much will 15 of these pens cost?
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

$7.20

Step-by-step explanation:

If 8 pens cost $3.84, we need to find out how much ojne pen costs.

To find out the cost of one pen we need to divide $3.84 by 8.

$3.84 / 8 = $0.48

1 pen cost $0.48

We then need to work out the cost of 15 pens. So from using the information that one pen costs $0.48 we can multiply that by 15 to find out the answer.

$0.48 x 15 = $7.20

15 pens cost $7.20

What are the solutions of the equation x4 + 95x2 – 500 = 0? Use factoring to solve. x = plus-or-minus StartRoot 5 EndRoot and x
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

<em>* x ⇒ plus-or-minus StartRoot 5 EndRoot and ±10i *</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Through factorization;

x^4 + 95x^2 – 500 = 0, ⇒ <em>u^2 ⇒ x^2</em>,

u^2 + 95u - 500 = 0, ⇒<em> factors of -500; -25, 20, -50 * 10, -2 * 250, -5 * 100...</em>

( u )^2 + ( - 5 + 100 ) + ( - 5 * 100 ) = 0,

( u - 5 )( u + 100 ) = 0,

<em>u = 5, and y = - 100</em>

Substitute u back into format x^2;

u = x^2, 5 = x^2, | x | = √5 ⇒ <em>x = - / + √5,</em>

u = x^2, - 100 = x^2, | x | = √- 100 ⇒ <em>x = - / + 10i</em>

<em>* Answer: x ⇒ plus-or-minus StartRoot 5 EndRoot and ±10i *</em>
