Answer:

19.35% probability that five will have completed four years of college

Step-by-step explanation:

For each individual chosen, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they have completed fourr years of college, or they have not. The probability of an adult completing four years of college is independent of any other adult. So the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

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

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

28% of individuals

This means that p = 0.25

For a sample of 15 individuals, ages 25 and older, what is the probability that five will have completed four years of college?

This is P(X = 5) when n = 15. So

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

P(X = 5) = C_{15,5}.(0.28)^{5}.(0.72)^{10} = 0.1935

19.35% probability that five will have completed four years of college

The dishes have been sorted into cups and plates. The number of plates is four less than two times the number of cups. The dishe
Nady [450]

Answer:

The number of cups = 8 ....

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of cups

Let y be the number of plates

According to the given statement:

y=2x-4   This is equation 1

Now,

60% = 0.60

y=0.60(x+y)    This is equation 2

Now substitute equation 1 in equation 2.

y=0.60(x+y)

2x-4=0.60(x+2x-4)

2x-4=0.6x+1.2x-2.4

Solve the like terms:

2x-4=1.8x-2.4

2x-1.8x=4-2.4

0.2x=1.6

x=1.6/0.2

x= 8 cups

Therefore the number of cups = 8 ....
