Answer:

C) 13.8%

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of catching the flu = p = 0.15

Probability of not catching the flu = q = 1 - 0.15 = 0.85

n = 5

Using binomial expansion, we have

C(n,r)* p^r * q^n-r

Probability of having 2 out of 5 = p(x = 2)

p(x = 2) = C(5,2) (0.15)^2 (0.85)^3

= 10 * 0.0225 * 0.614125

= 0.138

= 0.138 * 100

= 13.8% (C)

Indicate all possible values for the variable in each of the expressions: sqrt(2x+2)+sqrt(6-4x)
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

<u>Given expression:</u>

  • \sqrt{2x+2}+\sqrt{6-4x}

<u>The first root is valid when:</u>

  • 2x + 2 ≥ 0 ⇒ 2x ≥ - 2 ⇒ x ≥ - 1

<u>The second root is valid when:</u>

  • 6 - 4x ≥ 0 ⇒ 4x ≤ 6 ⇒ x ≤ 1.5

<u>So the variable x can get values within interval:</u>

  • -1 ≤ x ≤ 1.5 or
  • x = [-1, 1.5]
