Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We would assume a binomial distribution for the Americans that own answering machines. The formula is expressed as

P(x = r) = nCr × p^r × q^(n - r)

Where

x represent the number of successes.

p represents the probability of success.

q = (1 - r) represents the probability of failure.

n represents the number of trials or sample.

From the information given,

p = 70% = 70/100 = 0.7

q = 1 - p = 1 - 0.7

q = 0.3

n = 5

x = r = 3

Therefore,

P(x = 3) = 5C3 × 0.7^3 × 0.3^(5 - 3)

P(x = 3) = 10 × 0.343 × 0.09

P(x = 3) = 0.3087

b) mean = np = 5 × 0.7 = 3.5

vodomira [7]

Answer:

45km

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance covered in 1min 20sec (80sec) = 1km

Distance covered in 1 min (60sec) = 1km/80sec

Distance covered in 1Hr (3600sec) = (1/80)*3600 = 45km.

4. ABCD below is a rectangle. BE=6x+2 and ED=4x+6. Find the length of AC.

Nikolay [14]

Answer:

28 units

Step-by-step explanation:

ABCD is a rectangle. AC and BD are diagonals intersecting at point E.

Diagonals of a rectangle bisect each other.

$\therefore BE = ED$

$\therefore 6x + 2 = 4x + 6$

$\therefore 6x - 4x= 6-2$

$\therefore 2x= 4$

$\therefore x= \frac{4}{2}$

$\therefore x= 2$

$\therefore 6x + 2= 6*2+2= 12+2= 14$

$\therefore BE= 14\: units$

$\because BD = 2BE$

$\therefore BD = 2(14)= 28\: units$

$\because AC = BD$ (diagonals of a are equal in measure)

$\therefore AC = 28\: units$

Suppose $r$ and $s$ are the values of $x$ that satisfy the equation

MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

-8

Step-by-step explanation:

For roots r and s, the quadratic can be factored ...

f(x) = (x -r)(x -s) = x^2 -(r+s)x +rs

Then the value of r^2+s^2 can be determined from the coefficient of x (-(r+s)) and the constant (rs) by ...

r^2 +s^2 = (-(r+s))^2 -2(rs) = (r^2 +2rs +s^2) -2rs = r^2 +s^2

Comparing this to your given equation, we have the coefficient of x as (-2m) and the constant term as (m^2+2m+3). Forming the expression ...

(x-coefficient)^2 -2(constant term)

we get ...

r^2 +s^2 = (-2m)^2 -2(m^2 +2m +3) = 2m^2 -4m -6

r^2 +s^2 = 2(m -1)^2 -8

The minimum value of this quadratic expression is where m=1 and the squared term is zero. That minimum value is -8.
