Expand the expression?

Perform indicated multiplication:

7a(2a)+7a(-5)-4(2a)-4(-5)

14a^2-35a-8a+20 combine like terms, ie (-35a-8a)=-43a

14a^2-43a+20

1. Us the FOIL method: (a + b)(c + d) = ac + ad + bc + bd:
14a^2 - 35a - 8a + 20
2. Collect like terms:
14a^2 + (-35a - 8a) + 20
3. Simplify:
14a^2 - 43a + 20

1. The probability of telesales representative making a sale on a customer call is 0.15.

Mumz [18]

Answer:

$n = 33$

$n = 19$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The probability of telesales representative making a sale on a customer call is $p = 0.15$

The mean is $\mu = 5$

Generally the distribution of sales call made by a telesales representative follows a binomial distribution

i.e

$X \~ \ \ \ B(n , p)$

and the probability distribution function for binomial distribution is

$P(X = x) = ^{n}C_x * p^x * (1- p)^{n-x}$

Here C stands for combination hence we are going to be making use of the combination function in our calculators

Generally the mean is mathematically represented as

$\mu = n* p$

=> $5= n * 0.15$

=> $n = 33$

Generally the least number of calls that need to be made by a representative for the probability of at least 1 sale to exceed 0.95 is mathematically represented as

$P( X \ge 1) = 1 - P( X < 1 ) > 0.95$
