Answer:

You add them together and divide it by how many number there are.

Step-by-step explanation:

For example lets say we need to find the average of 12, 15, 18, and 24.

You would do 12+15+18+24

You will get a sum of 69

Then since there are 4 numbers you do 69 divided by 4 and get a quotients of 17.25.

Therefore 17.25 is the average of all four numbers.

Find a and k so that the given points lie on the parabola (An algebraic solution is required)

Aleks [24]

For the given points to lie on the parabola,

a = -3 and k = 10.

An equation of a curve that has a point on it that is equally spaced from a fixed point and a fixed line is referred to as a parabola. The parabola's fixed line and fixed point are together referred to as the directrix and focus, respectively. It's also crucial to remember that the fixed point is not located on the fixed line. A parabola is a locus of any point that is equally distant from a given point (focus) and a certain line (directrix).

According to the question,

Equation of parabola : y = a $(x-2)^{2}$ + k

Points A(1,7) and B(4,-2)

For the points to lie on the parabola,

7 = a $(1-2)^{2}$ +k

7 = a + k

Similarly,

-2 = a $(4-2)^{2}$ + k

-2 = 4a + k

On solving the two equations simultaneously, we get,

a = -3

k = 10

assume that when adults with smartphones are randomly selected 15 use them in meetings or classes if 15 adult smartphones are ra

Tanzania [10]

Answer:

The probability that at least 4 of them use their smartphones is 0.1773.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that when adults with smartphones are randomly selected 15% use them in meetings or classes.

Also, 15 adult smartphones are randomly selected.

Let X = <em>Number of adults who use their smartphones</em>

The above situation can be represented through the binomial distribution;

$P(X = r) = \binom{n}{r}\times p^{r} \times (1-p)^{n-r} ; n = 0,1,2,3,.......$

where, n = number of trials (samples) taken = 15 adult smartphones

r = number of success = at least 4

p = probability of success which in our question is the % of adults

who use them in meetings or classes, i.e. 15%.

So, X ~ Binom(n = 15, p = 0.15)

Now, the probability that at least 4 of them use their smartphones is given by = P(X $\geq$ 4)

P(X $\geq$ 4) = 1 - P(X = 0) - P(X = 1) - P(X = 2) - P(X = 3)

= $1- \binom{15}{0}\times 0.15^{0} \times (1-0.15)^{15-0}-\binom{15}{1}\times 0.15^{1} \times (1-0.15)^{15-1}-\binom{15}{2}\times 0.15^{2} \times (1-0.15)^{15-2}-\binom{15}{3}\times 0.15^{3} \times (1-0.15)^{15-3}$
