Thirty-two percent of the students in a management class are graduate students. A random sample of 5 students is selected. Using

the binomial probability function, determine the probability that the sample contains fewer than two graduate students? (Please express answer to four decimal places in the following form: 2.5555 or 2.0001).

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

I don’t understand this can someone please give me and example on how to do it please?

For the first one,

you multiply 5x and -5 to get -25.

Then you move the constant to the right and change the sign to get 3x= -21 +25.

Calculate the sum of -21+25 to get 4.

Divide both sides of the equation by 3 to get x=4/3.

So then your final answer is x=4
——
3


For the second one,

Distribute 7 through the parentheses to get 14x + 14+8=120

The you add 14+8 to get 22. Your equation should be 14x+22=120

Move the constant to the right side and change its sign to get 14x=120-22

Subtract 120-22 to get 98. Now your equation should be 14x=98

Divide both sides of the equation by 14 to get x=7.

Your finial answer for the second one should be x=7.

① 5J+2S =12.20 ② 5J+ 10S =15.80 elimination method
hram777 [196]

Answer:

<h2>S = 9/20</h2><h2>J = 113/50</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

5J +2S =12.20 ........(1)\\5J+10S=15.80......(2)\\Multiply \:equation \:(1)\:by\:the\:coefficient\:of\:x\:in equation\:(2)\\\\Multiply\:equation(2)\: by\: the\: coefficient\:of \:x\: in \:equation (1)\\\\5J +2S =12.20 ........(1) \times 5\\5J+10S=15.80......(2)\times 5\\\\25J+10S=61......(3)\\25J+50S = 79......(4)\\Subtract\:equation\:(4)\:from\: equation\: (3)\\-40S =-18\\\frac{-40S}{-40}=\frac{-18}{-40}\\  S = 9/20\\

Substitute \:9/20\:for \:x \:in\:equation\:(1)\:or \:equation\:(2)\\5J+2S = 12.20\\5J +2(9/20) =12.20\\5J +9/10=12.20\\5J=12.20-9/10\\5J=113/10\\Cross-Multiply\\50J = 113\\J = 113/50
