erican. At the end of the year, promotions are awarded to a group of employees. Out of the 40 promotions awarded, five are African-American. Given that the awarding follows the binomial distribution, B(40,.2).
a) How many African-Americans would you expect to get promotions?
b) What is the probability that five African-Americans receive promotions?
c) What is the probability that five or fewer African-Americans receive promotions?

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

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

See Discussion section below

Discussion:

2x^2 + 5x + 3  = (2x+3)(x+1) which is Choice 3


3x^2+10x+4  =-1/3 (-3 x + sqrt(13) - 5) (3 x + sqrt(13) + 5)

I don't think any of the provided choices are right!


8x^2+10x-3 = (2x+3)(4x-1) which is Choice 2


6x^2-7x-4 = -1/24 (-12 x + sqrt(145) + 7) (12 x + sqrt(145) - 7)

I don't think any of the provided choices are right!


2x^2+x-28  =  (2x-7)(x+4) which is Choice 2


Thank you,

MrB
