A 2017 poll found that 51​% of college students were very confident that their major will lead to a good job. If 15 college stud

ents are chosen at​ random, what's the probability that 11 of them are NOT confident that their major would lead to a good​ job? Let a success be a college student not being confident their major would lead to a good job.

Answer:

3.61%

Step-by-step explanation:

This situation can be modeled with the Binomial Distribution which computes the likelihood of an event “success” that occurs exactly k times out of n, and is given by

\large P(k;n)=\binom{n}{k}p^kq^{n-k}

where  

\large \binom{n}{k}= combination of n elements taken k at a time.

<em>p = probability that the event (“success”) occurs once </em>

<em>q = 1-p </em>

In this case, we define “success” as a college student not being confident that their major would lead to a good job.

Then  

p = 49% = 0.49

q = 51% = 0.51

“If 15 college students are chosen at​ random, what's the probability that 11 of them are NOT confident that their major would lead to a good​ job?”

Here we are looking for P(11;15)

\large P(11;15)=\binom{15}{11}0.49^{11}0.51^{(15-11)}=0.03611=3.61\%

4. If the sides of a square measure 9V3 units, then find the length of the diagonal.
Nitella [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the diagonal, use Pythagorean theorem,

diagonal² = side² + side²

                = (9√3)² + (9√3)²

                = 9²(√3)² + 9²(√3)²

                = 81*3 + 81*3

                = 243 + 243

                 = 486

diagonal = √486 = 22.05 units

If you're talking about #3, then the equation would be 10+12.50h=5+15h.
h will equal 2, and the cost for that number of hours would then be $35.

Solve |x – 4| + 6 = 17.
const2013 [10]

Answer:

\mathrm{C)\:}x=15,\:-7

Step-by-step explanation:

For |a-b|=c, there are two possible cases:

\begin{cases}a-b=c\\a-b=-c\\\end{cases}

Solving for both cases, we get:

\begin{cases}x-4+6=17, \:x+2=17, \: \fbox{$x=15$}\\-(x-4)+6=17,\: -x+10=17, \: -x=7, \:, \fbox{$x=-7$}\\\end{cases}
