Suppose that the probability that a person books a hotel using an online travel website is 0.68. For the questions that follow,

consider a sample of fifteen randomly selected people who recently booked a hotel. 6) What is the probability that exactly ten people out of fifteen people used an online travel website when they booked their hotel? Round to the nearest thousandth.

Answer:

0.213 is the required probability.  

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information:

We treat person booking from online travel website as a success.

P(Booking through online travel website) = 0.68

Then the number of people 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 = 15

P(exactly ten people out of fifteen people used an online travel website)

P(x = 10)\\\\= \binom{15}{10}(0.68)^{10}(1-0.68)^5 \\\\= 0.213

0.213 is the probability that exactly ten people out of fifteen people used an online travel website when they booked their hotel.

The length of time taken on the SAT for a group of students is normally distributed with a mean of 2.5 hours and a standard devi
son4ous [18]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the length of time taken on the SAT for a group of students is normally distributed, we would apply the formula for normal distribution which is expressed as

z = (x - u)/s

Where

x = length of time

u = mean time

s = standard deviation

From the information given,

u = 2.5 hours

s = 0.25 hours

We want to find the probability that the sample mean is between two hours and three hours.. It is expressed as

P(2 lesser than or equal to x lesser than or equal to 3)

For x = 2,

z = (2 - 2.5)/0.25 = - 2

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.02275

For x = 3,

z = (3 - 2.5)/0.25 = 2

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.97725

P(2 lesser than or equal to x lesser than or equal to 3)

= 0.97725 - 0.02275 = 0.9545

When Richards solved the equation 2(x - 5) = 56 + 6(x - 5), he used the distributive property in step one to write an equivalent
satela [25.4K]

The equivalent equation after applying distributive property will be:

(2*x) - (2*5) = 56 + (6*x) - (6*5)

Further explanation:

Distributive property states that the number is distributed to the sum or difference it is being multiplied to i.e.

a(b+c) = a*b + a*c

So the given equation is:

2(x - 5) = 56 + 6(x - 5)

2 will be distributed to x-5 and 6 will be distributed to x-5

The equivalent equation will be:

(2*x) - (2*5) = 56 + (6*x) - (6*5)\\Simplifying\\2x-10 = 56+6x-30\\2x-6x = 56-30+10\\-4x = 36\\x=-9
