Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We would assume a binomial distribution for the handedness of the population. Let x be a random variable representing the type of handedness in the population. The probability of success, p is that a randomly chosen person is left handed only. Then probability of failure is that a chosen person is not left handed only(right handed only or both).

p = 12/100 = 0.12

number of success, x = 20

n = 200

the probability that there are at least 20 left-handers is expressed as P(x ≥ 20)

From the binomial probability calculator,

P(x ≥ 20) = 0.84

What is the average rate of change of the function f(x)=20(14)xf(x)=20(14)x from x = 1 to x = 2? Enter your answer, as a decimal
Advocard [28]
The average rate of a function f(x) over an interval x = a and x = b is given by:

Average \ Rate \ of \ Change= \frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}

Given the function

f(x)=20(14)^x

The average rate of change from x = 1 to x = 2 is given by:

\frac{f(2)-f(1)}{2-1} = \frac{20(14)^2-20(14)^1}{1}  \\  \\ =20(196-14)=20(182)=3,640

Suppose b is any integer. If b mod 12 = 5, then 7b mod 12
Rzqust [24]

The result follows directly from properties of modular arithmetic:

b\equiv5\pmod{12}\implies 7b\equiv35\equiv-1\equiv\boxed{11}\pmod{12}

That is,

b\equiv5\pmod{12}

means we can write b=12n+5 for some integer n. Then

7b=7(12n+5)=12(7n)+35

and taken mod 12, the first term goes away, so

7b\equiv35\pmod{12}

etc
