I would say direct because the more gallons of gasoline used, the bigger the cost.
Answer:
P(x ≤ 5 ) = 0.9707
P ( x ≥ 6) = 0.0293
Step-by-step explanation:
The probability of a binomial mass distribution can be expressed with the formula:


where;
n = 8 and π = 0.36
For x = 5
The probability 





to 4 decimal places
b. x ≤ 5
The probability of P ( x ≤ 5)


P(x ≤ 5 ) = 0.0281+0.1267+0.2494+0.2805+0.1972+0.0888
P(x ≤ 5 ) = 0.9707
c. x ≥ 6
The probability of P ( x ≥ 6) = 1 - P( x ≤ 5 )
P ( x ≥ 6) = 1 - 0.9707
P ( x ≥ 6) = 0.0293
Subtract the fee from the total:
131- 35.50 = 95.50
Now divide that by the price per mile:
95.50/ 0.40 = 238.75
They drove 238.74 miles
Cost of goods = 1,500
Selling expense = 500
Total cost in selling = 1500 + 500 = 2000
Profit = Total Revenue - Total cost in selling = 3000 - 2000 = 1000
Profit = 1000
Hope this explains it.
