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

The sum of two positive numbers is 12. what two numbers will maximize the product g
son4ous [18]

Given two numbers x and y such that:

x + y = 12   ...    (1)


<span>two numbers will maximize the product g</span>

from  equation (1) 

y = 12 - x  

Using this value of y, we represent xy as

xy = f(x)= x(12 - x)

 f(x) = 12x - x^2

Differentiating the above function:

f'(x) = 12 - 2x

Maximum value of f(x) occurs at point for which f'(x) = 0.

Equating f'(x) to 0 we get:

12 - 2x = 0

 2x =  12

> x = 12/2 = 6

Substituting this value of x in equation (2):

y = 12 - 6 = 6

Therefore, value of xy is maximum when:

x = 6 and y = 6

The maximum value of xy = 6*6 = 36
