Answer:

a) 0.3826

b) 0.9894

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information:

We treat students accepted at university as a success.

P(students accepted at university) = 70% = 0.70

Then the number of students accepted at university follows a binomial distribution, where

P(X=x) = \binom{n}{x}.p^x.(1-p)^{n-x}

where n is the total number of observations, x is the number of success, p is the probability of success.

Now, we are given n = 10

a) P( 8 or more will be accepted)

P(x \geq 8) = P(x = 8) + P(x = 9) + P(X=10)\\\\= \binom{10}{8}(0.7)^8(1-0.7)^2 +  \binom{10}{9}(0.7)^9(1-0.7)^1+ \binom{10}{10}(0.7)^{10}(1-0.7)^0\\\\= 0.2334 + 0.1210 + 0.0282\\= 0.3826

b) P(4 or more will be accepted)

P(x \geq 4) =1 - P(x = 0) - P(x = 1) - P(X=2)-P(x=3)\\\\=1 - ( \binom{10}{0}(0.7)^0(1-0.7)^{10} +  \binom{10}{1}(0.7)^1(1-0.7)^9+ \binom{10}{2}(0.7)^{2}(1-0.7)^8+ \binom{10}{3}(0.7)^{3}(1-0.7)^7 )\\\\= 1 - 0.0106\\= 0.9894

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

.72x+3=0.3(2.4+15)

.72x+3=0.72+4.5=0.72+4.50

.72 x=5.22

x=\frac{5.22}{0.72} =\frac{522}{72} =\frac{29}{4} =7\frac{1}{4}

The value of a new truck decreases exponentially at a rate of 4.8% per year. If the purchase price of the new cars $42,000, how
Usimov [2.4K]

The worth of the car after it is paid off 5 years later given the rate of exponential depreciation is $32,842.34.

<h3>What is the worth of the car?</h3>

When the car declines in value, it means that the car is depreciating. The formula that can be used to determine the value of the car with the depreciationn rate is:

FV = P (1 - r)^n

  • FV = Future value
  • P = Present value
  • R = rate of decline
  • N = number of years

$42,000 x (1 - 0.048)^5 = $32,842.34

Write down the rules for multiplication and division of whole numbers​
MAXImum [283]
As division is the inverse of multiplication, the rules for division are the same as the rules for multiplication. So when multiplying and dividing positive and negative numbers remember this: If the signs are the same the answer is positive, if the signs are different the answer is negative.
