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

My son is seven times older than my grandson and I am 12 times older than my grandson. If you add all our ages together, the sum
Andrej [43]
To solve this problem you first need to establish what it is you are looking for.. if you knew the grandson age then you could find your son and you.  So that is what we need to find and since we don't know it, we will call it x.

Grandson = x
Son = 7x
You = 12x

Then it says the sum of the 3 is 100.... x + 7x + 12x = 100 then solve and find that x = 5.  So to determine your age, just put 5 in for x and you get 60... dang your old ha

Number 1d please help me analytical geometry

For a) is just the distance formula

\bf \textit{distance between 2 points}\\ \quad \\
\begin{array}{lllll}
&x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\
%  (a,b)
A&({{ x}}\quad ,&{{ 1}})\quad 
%  (c,d)
B&({{ -4}}\quad ,&{{ 1}})
\end{array}\qquad 
%  distance value
\begin{array}{llll}

d = \sqrt{({{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}})^2 + ({{ y_2}}-{{ y_1}})^2}
\\\\\\
\sqrt{8} = \sqrt{({{ -4}}-{{ x}})^2 + (1-1)^2}
\end{array}
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
for b)  is also the distance formula, just different coordinates and distance

\bf \textit{distance between 2 points}\\ \quad \\
\begin{array}{lllll}
&x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\
%  (a,b)
A&({{ -7}}\quad ,&{{ y}})\quad 
%  (c,d)
B&({{ -3}}\quad ,&{{ 4}})
\end{array}\ \ 
\begin{array}{llll}

d = \sqrt{({{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}})^2 + ({{ y_2}}-{{ y_1}})^2}
\\\\\\
4\sqrt{2} = \sqrt{(-3-(-7))^2+(4-y)^2}
\end{array}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
for c)  well... we know AB = BC.... we do have the coordinates for A and B
so... find the distance for AB, that is \bf \textit{distance between 2 points}\\ \quad \\
\begin{array}{lllll}
&x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\
%  (a,b)
A&({{ -3}}\quad ,&{{ 0}})\quad 
%  (c,d)
B&({{ 5}}\quad ,&{{ -2}})
\end{array}\qquad 
%  distance value
\begin{array}{llll}

d = \sqrt{({{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}})^2 + ({{ y_2}}-{{ y_1}})^2}\\\\
d=\boxed{?}

\end{array}

now.. whatever that is, is  = BC, so  the distance for BC is

\bf \textit{distance between 2 points}\\ \quad \\
\begin{array}{lllll}
&x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\
%  (a,b)
B&({{ 5}}\quad ,&{{ -2}})\quad 
%  (c,d)
C&({{ -13}}\quad ,&{{ y}})
\end{array}\qquad 
%  distance value
\begin{array}{llll}

d = \sqrt{({{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}})^2 + ({{ y_2}}-{{ y_1}})^2}\\\\
d=BC\\\\
BC=\boxed{?}

\end{array}

so... whatever distance you get for AB, set it equals to BC, BC will be in "y-terms" since the C point has a variable in its ordered points

so.. .solve AB = BC for "y"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

now d)   we know M and N are equidistant to P, that simply means that P is the midpoint of the segment MN

so use the midpoint formula

\bf \textit{middle point of 2 points }\\ \quad \\
\begin{array}{lllll}
&x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\
%  (a,b)
M&({{-2}}\quad ,&{{ 1}})\quad 
%  (c,d)
N&({{ x}}\quad ,&{{ 1}})
\end{array}\qquad
%   coordinates of midpoint 
\left(\cfrac{{{ x_2}} + {{ x_1}}}{2}\quad ,\quad \cfrac{{{ y_2}} + {{ y_1}}}{2} \right)=P
\\\\\\


\bf \left(\cfrac{{{ x_2}} + {{ x_1}}}{2}\quad ,\quad \cfrac{{{ y_2}} + {{ y_1}}}{2} \right)=(1,4)\implies 
\begin{cases}
\cfrac{{{ x_2}} + {{ x_1}}}{2}=1\leftarrow \textit{solve for "x"}\\\\
\cfrac{{{ y_2}} + {{ y_1}}}{2}=4
\end{cases}

now, for d), you can also just use the distance formula, find the distance for MP, then since MP = PN, find the distance for PN in x-terms and then set it to equal to MP and solve for "x"
