Answer: 0.01145

Step-by-step explanation:

We use Binomial distribution , where the probability of getting x successes in n trial is given by :-

P(x)=^nC_xp^x(1-p)^{n-x} , p = probability of getting each success in each trial.

As per given

The proportion that a car with a certain protection system will be recovered= p=0.87

n= 8

Let x be the number of cars will be recovered.

Then, the probability that 4 of 8 stolen cars will be recovered:

P(X=4)=^8C_4(0.87)^4(1-0.87)^{8-4}

=\dfrac{8!}{4!(8-4)!}(0.87)^4(0.13)^4\\\\= 70(0.57289761)(0.00028561)\\\\=0.0114537700474\approx0.01145

Hence, the required probability is 0.01145.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I suspect a typo, since \frac{-4}{5x+6} is not a straight line. Let's go with

y = -\frac{4}{5} x + 6

That means the slope is -4/5

Any line perpendicular to it will have slope 5/4

Since both lines pass through (0,6), our second line is

y=\frac{5}{4} x + 6

ANSWER PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

$24.50 is your original amount, and you know you have a 20% added to that. So, you can multiply the money by the percentage:

24.5 x 1.2 (we multiply it by 1.2 because we want the tip PLUS the original amount)
= 29.4

So the answer is the first choice, $29.40
