Answer:

0.4875

Step-by-step explanation:

For each student, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they are a graduate student, or they are not. The probability of a student being a graduate student is independent from other students. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

Thirty-two percent of the students in a management class are graduate students.

This means that p = 0.32

A random sample of 5 students is selected.

This means that n = 5

Determine the probability that the sample contains fewer than two graduate students?

P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)

In which

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 0) = C_{5,0}.(0.32)^{0}.(0.68)^{5} = 0.1454

P(X = 1) = C_{5,1}.(0.32)^{1}.(0.68)^{4} = 0.3421

P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.1454 + 0.3421 = 0.4875

0.4875 = 48.75% probability that the sample contains fewer than two graduate students

Joni has a circular garden with a diameter of 14 1/2 feet if she uses 2 teaspoons of fertilizer for every 25 square feet of gard
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

13.20 teaspoon of fertiliser needed for entire garden.

Step-by-step explanation:

Diameter of the garden = 14.50 ft

Radius of the garden = 7.25 ft

Area

[tex]A=\pi r^2[/text]

[tex]A=\pi \times 7.25 \times 7.25[/text]

[tex]\pi=3.14[/text]

[tex]A=\pi \times 7.25 \times 7.25[/text]

[tex]A=3.14 \times 7.25 \times 7.25[/text]

Hence

[tex]A=165.046[/text]

Area is 165.046 Sq Ft

For 25 sq ft of fields the fertiliser needed = 2 tea spoon

For 1 sq ft of fields the fertiliser needed =

[tex]\frac{2}{25}[/text] tea spoon

For 165.046 sq ft of fields the fertiliser needed =

[tex]\frac{2 \times 165.046 }{25}[/text] tea spoon

For 165.046 sq ft of fields the fertiliser needed = 13.20 tea spoon
