Answer:

a) How many African-Americans would you expect to get promotions?

Since we have been asked to follow the binomial distribution, (B (40,0.2)

To calculate the mean of the BPD = n*p

where n is the number of promotions and p = probability

= 40 x 0.2 = 8

You expect 8 promotions.

b)  

The probability that 5 African-Americans = P (X = 5)

P( X = 5 ) = 40 sqr root ( 5 * 0.2^5 * 0.8^35 ) = 0.0854

c) What is the probability that five or fewer African-Americans receive promotions?

P( X <= 5) = P(X=5) + P(X=4) + ... + P(X=1) + P(X=0)

faster way is calculator

binomcdf(40, .2, 5) = 0.1613

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the exact value of arccos(-sqrt2/2)
Nata [24]
Saying arccos(-√2/2) is the same as saying cos(x)=-√2/2. This is one the trigonometric values you should have memorized if you are taking a a trig class. In order to get √2/2, x must be equal to 45° or pi/4. But since it is a negative √2/2, the answer would be -45°or -pi/4.

There are technically multiple answers to this, but since you weren't given a range for the answers, I would stick with -45°.
