Answer:

The probability that they are the three youngest students is 0.002197.

Step-by-step explanation:

If 3 students are randomly selected from 15 available students, the probability that they are the three youngest students = 1 / 15C3

15C3=\frac{15!}{3!12!}

= 455

= \frac{1}{455}

= 0.002197

Answer:

2^5

Step-by-step explanation:

The base is the same

2^3 * 2^2

We are multiplying, so we can add the exponents

2^3 * 2^2 = 2^(3+2) = 2^5

The speed with which utility companies can resolve problems is very important. GTC, the Georgetown Telephone Company, reports it
brilliants [131]

Answer:

(a) 11.25 and 1.68  

(b) 0.1651

(c) 0.3903

(d) 0.6865

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that GTC, the Georgetown Telephone Company, reports it can resolve customer problems the same day they are reported in 75% of the cases and suppose the 15 cases reported today are representative of all complaints.

This situation can be represented through Binomial distribution as;

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

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

             r = number of success

             p = probability of success which in our question is % of cases in

                  which customer problems are resolved on the same day, i.e.;75%

So, here X ~ Binom(n=15,p=0.75)

(a) Expected number of problems to be resolved today = E(X)

            E(X) = \mu = n * p = 15 * 0.75 = 11.25

    Standard deviation = \sigma = \sqrt{n*p*(1-p)} = \sqrt{15*0.75*(1-0.75)} = 1.68

(b) Probability that 10 of the problems can be resolved today = P(X = 10)

     P(X = 10) = \binom{15}{10}0.75^{10}(1-0.75)^{15-10}

                    = 3003*0.75^{10} *0.25^{5} = 0.1651

(c) Probability that 10 or 11 of the problems can be resolved today is given by = P(X = 10) + P(X = 11)

    = \binom{15}{10}0.75^{10}(1-0.75)^{15-10}+\binom{15}{11}0.75^{11}(1-0.75)^{15-11}

    = 3003*0.75^{10} *0.25^{5} + 1365*0.75^{11} *0.25^{4} = 0.3903

(d) Probability that more than 10 of the problems can be resolved today is

    given by = P(X > 10)

P(X > 10) = P(X = 11) + P(X = 12) + P(X = 13) + P(X = 14) + P(X = 15)  

= \binom{15}{11}0.75^{11}(1-0.75)^{15-11}+\binom{15}{12}0.75^{12}(1-0.75)^{15-12} + \binom{15}{13}0.75^{13}(1-0.75)^{15-13}+\binom{15}{14}0.75^{14}(1-0.75)^{15-14} + \binom{15}{15}0.75^{15}(1-0.75)^{15-15}

= 1365*0.75^{11} *0.25^{4} + 455*0.75^{12} *0.25^{3}+105*0.75^{13} *0.25^{2} + 15*0.75^{14} *0.25^{1}+1*0.75^{15} *0.25^{0}

= 0.6865

  • [Right Triangles Only] tanθ = opposite over adjacent

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Identify Variables</u>

Angle θ = <em>x</em>°

Opposite Leg = 10

Hypotenuse = 21

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

  1. Substitute [tangent]:                    tanx° = 10/21
  2. Inverse trig:                                  x° = tan⁻¹(10/21)
  3. Evaluate:                                      x = 25.4633°
  4. Round:                                          x ≈ 25.5°
