Suppose approximately 75% of all marketing personnel are extroverts, whereas about 70% of all computer programmers are introvert

Setler [38]

Answer:

$P(x \ge 5) = 1.000$ ---- At least 5 from marketing departments are extroverts

$P(x=15) = 0.013$ ---- All from marketing departments are extroverts

$P(x = 0) = 0.002$ ---------- None from computer programmers are introverts

Step-by-step explanation:

See comment for complete question

The question is an illustration of binomial probability where

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

$(a):\ P(x \ge 5)$

$n = 15$ --- marketing personnel

$p = 75\%$ --- proportion that are extroverts

Using the complement rule, we have:

$P(x \ge 5) = 1 - P(x < 5)$

So, we have:

$P(x < 5) =P(x = 0) + P(x = 1) + P(x = 2) + P(x = 3) + P(x = 4)$

$P(x = 0) = ^{15}C_{0} * (75\%)^0 * (1 - 75\%)^{15 - 0} = 1 * 1 * (0.25)^{15} = 9.31 * 10^{-10}$

$P(x = 1) = ^{15}C_{1} * (75\%)^1 * (1 - 75\%)^{15 - 1} = 15* (0.75)^1 * (0.25)^{14} = 4.19 * 10^{-8}$

$P(x = 2) = ^{15}C_{2} * (75\%)^2 * (1 - 75\%)^{15 - 2} = 105* (0.75)^2 * (0.25)^{13} = 8.80 * 10^{-7}$

$P(x = 3) = ^{15}C_{3} * (75\%)^3 * (1 - 75\%)^{15 - 3} = 455* (0.75)^2 * (0.25)^{12} = 0.0000153$

$P(x = 4) = ^{15}C_{4} * (75\%)^4 * (1 - 75\%)^{15 - 4} = 1365 * (0.75)^4 * (0.25)^{11} = 0.000103$

So, we have:

$P(x < 5) = (9.31 * 10^{-10}) + (4.19 * 10^{-8}) + (8.80 * 10^{-7}) + 0.0000153 + 0.000103$

$P(x < 5) = 0.00011922283$

Recall that:

$P(x \ge 5) = 1 - P(x < 5)$

$P(x \ge 5) = 1 - 0.00011922283$

$P(x \ge 5) = 0.9998$

$P(x \ge 5) = 1.000$ --- approximated

$(b)\ P(x = 15)$

$n = 15$ --- marketing personnel

$p = 75\%$ --- proportion that are extroverts

So, we have:

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

$P(x=15) = ^{15}C_{15} * 0.75^{15} * (1 - 0.75)^{15-15}$

$P(x=15) = 1 * 0.75^{15} * (0.25)^{0$

$P(x=15) = 0.013$

$(c)\ P(x = 0)$

$n=5$ ---------- computer programmers

$p = 70\%$ --- proportion that are introverts

So, we have:

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

$P(x = 0) = ^{5}C_0 * (70\%)^0 * (1 - 70\%)^{5-0}$

$P(x = 0) = 1 * 1 * (0.30)^5$

$P(x = 0) = 0.002$

When asked to find a number one-tenth as large as another number, what operation would you use? What about when asked to find a

kherson [118]

Apply division by 10 when one tenth of a number is required and apply multiplication by 10 when 10 times of a number is required.

<u>Solution:</u>

Need to determine what operation is required to get one-tenth of a number and 10 times of a number

To get one tenth of a number, divide the number by 10.

For example to get one – tenth of 100, divide it by 10, we get 10 as a result.

$\frac{1}{10} \times 100 = 10$

To get ten times of a number, multiply the number by 10

For example 10 times of 10 = 10 x 10 = 100

Hence apply division by 10 when one tenth of a number is required and apply multiplication by 10 when 10 times of a number is required.

I don’t understand this subject at all if you wold answer that would be a big help

Digiron [165]

Answer:

d= 8.6 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

In similar triangles, the corresponding sides are in proportion.

$\boxed{\dfrac{AW}{MZ}=\dfrac{AJ}{MJ}=\dfrac{WJ}{ZJ}}$

To find the value of x,

$\dfrac{AJ}{MJ}=\dfrac{WJ}{ZJ}\\\\\\\dfrac{6}{7}=\dfrac{d}{10}\\\\\\\dfrac{6}{7}*10=d$

d = 8.6 ft

Darya [45]

Answer: Tickets cost $25 and each person must contribute $2 for the bus. There are 52 people going on the trip.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Mr. Bartley is taking the theater club on a field trip [which must include bus or other vehicle] to see the musical wicked. The school treasurer asked Mr. Bartley for the group's total ticket cost.

He wrote the following cost function for the school treasurer.

Total Cost =52(25+2)

Since cost function is a function based on number of people and per head cost.

So, the statement which best describe the cost function is "Tickets cost $25 and each person must contribute $2 for the bus. There are 52 people going on the trip."
