Answer: 0.1061

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : An insurance company found that 9% of drivers were involved in a car accident last year.

Thus, the probability of drivers involved in car accident last year = 0.09

The formula of binomial distribution :-

P(X=x)^nC_xp^x(1-p)^{n-x}

If seven (n=7) drivers are randomly selected then , the probability that exactly two (x=2) of them were involved in a car accident last year is given by :-

P(X=2)=^7C_2(0.09)^2(1-0.09)^{7-2}\\\\=\dfrac{7!}{2!5!}(0.09)^2(0.91)^{5}=0.106147867882\approx0.1061

Hence, the required probability :-0.1061

Kate paid $27 for a dress that was on sale for 10% off. What was the original price of this dress?
Luba_88 [7]
The best way to go about this questions is to write out a formula in which x represents the original price of the dress: x*0.90=27. To see where the 0.90 came from, if Kate's dress was 10% off, she must have paid 90% of the original price (100%-10%=90%). Then, to convert a percentage to a decimal, move the decimal point twice to the left so 90% becomes 0.90. Then, our formula essentially means that 90% of some number (x) is equal to 27. To solve for x, divide both sides of the formula by 0.90 to get x=$30 which is the final answer.

I hope this helps.
