h = prob of hardcover = .25

p = prob of paperback = .75

a.

Prob(2 hardcover of 10) = (10 choose 2) (.25)^2 (.75)^8

= ( 10(9)/2 ) (1/4^10) (1^2 3^8)

= 295245/1048576

≈ 28.15%

b.

I think I just did the binomial distribution.  We can approximate it as a normal distribution. The mean and variance in this case are computed thus:

N=10, n=2

μ = Np = 2.5

σ² = Npq = 1.875

σ = 1.3693

P(n) = 1/(σ√2π)e^-(n-μ)/(2σ²)

P(2) = 1/(1.3693√2π)e^-(2 - 2.5)/(2 (1.875))

P(2) = 33.3%

Pretty good, not great.

Identify properties used in each step in rewriting the polynomial expression below: (x + 5) + 3(a + (6x)y) Step 1: (5 + x)+3(a +
8090 [49]
In step 1, the commutative property of addition is used since x + 5 is just equal to 5 + x
In step 2, the associative property of addition is used since x is grouped to the last term.
In step 3, the distributive property of multiplication is used since 3 is multiplied to the terms inside the parenthesis. 
In step 4, multiplication is done.

Please need help<br> Find area of shaded region.<br> Round to the nearest tenth
vlabodo [156]

Answer:

818.4 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

The area (A) of the shaded region is

A = area of circle - ( area of white sector + area of triangle )

  = ( π × 27.8²) - (π × 27.8² × \frac{210}{360} +(0.5 × 27.8 ×27.8 × sin150°)

  = 2427.95 - (1416.30 + 193.21 )

  = 2427.95 - 1609.51 ≈ 818.4 in²
