16 or more books sold in a day will include two intervals from the given table:

a) 16 - 20 books sold.
Probability = 0.201

b) 21 - 25 books sold.
Probability = ?

Since the table gives the probability distribution, the sum of all the probabilities must be equal to 1. We are given the probabilities of 4 out 5 intervals. So in order to find the probability of the 5th interval (21-25) we can subtract the sum of probabilities of rest of the intervals from 1.
So, P(21 - 25) = 0.019

In order to find the probability of 16 or more books sold we need to sum the probabilities of both these intervals.

So, the probability of 16 or more books being sold on a given day = 0.201 + 0.019 = 0.220

A seamstress needs to cut 15 inches pieces of ribbon from a roll of ribbon that is 9 feet in length what is the greatest number
Natali [406]

Answer: 36

Step-by-step explanation:

One roll is of length = 9 feet

1 foot = 12 inches

9 feet = 12 *9 = 108 inches

Since there are 5 rolls

So, total length of 5 rolls = 108 * 5 = 540 inches

Since we are given that A seamstress needs to cut 15-inch pieces of ribbon from a roll of ribbon that is 9 feet in length.

We are supposed to find . What is the greatest number of 15-inch pieces the seamstress can cut from 5 of these rolls of ribbon

So, number of 15-inch pieces the seamstress can cut from 5 of these rolls of ribbon:

Hence the greatest number of 15-inch pieces the seamstress can cut from 5 of these rolls of ribbon is 36

As part of the underwriting process for insurance, each prospective policyholder is tested for high blood pressure. Let X repres
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

0.053

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a geometric distribution problem.

I'm geometric distribution problem,

E(X) = 1/p

Where;

E(X) is expected value and p is probability of success

Thus;

1/p = 12.5

p = 1/12.5

p = 0.08

Now, to find the probability that the sixth person tested is the first one with high blood pressure, we will use the probability formula in geometric distribution which is;

P(X = k) = qⁿ•p

q = 1 - p

q = 1 - 0.08

q = 0.92

Thus;probability that the sixth person tested is the first one with high blood pressure will be expressed as;

P(X > 5) = (0.92^(5)) × 0.08

P(X > 5) = 0.053

PLEASE, I HAVE POSTED THIS QUESTION OVER 5 DIFFERENT TIMES AND STILL HAVEN'T GOTTEN AN ANSER PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

10 sqrt(3)/3 =x

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, we can use trig functions

tan theta = opp side /adj side

tan 30 = x/10

10 tan 30 =x

10 ( sqrt(3)/3) = x

10 sqrt(3)/3 =x
