Answer:

0 < t < \frac{5}{3}

After 1.67 days the stocks would be sold out.

Step-by-step explanation:

The price of a certain computer stock after t days is modeled by

p(t) = 100 + 20t - 6t²

Now we will take the derivative of the given function and equate it to zero to find the critical points,

p'(t) = 20 - 12t = 0

t = \frac{20}{12}

t = \frac{5}{3} days

Therefore, there are two intervals in which the given function is defined

(0, \frac{5}{3}) and (\frac{5}{3}, ∞)

For the interval (0, \frac{5}{3}),

p'(1) = 20 - 12(1) = 20

For the interval (\frac{5}{3}, ∞),

p'(2) = 20 - 12(2) = -4

Positive value of p'(t) in the interval (0, \frac{5}{3}) indicates that the function is increasing.

0 < t < \frac{5}{3}

Since at the point t = 1.67 days curve is showing the maximum, so the stocks should be sold after 1.67 days.

Experimental probability is more accurate and more close to theoretical probability by having the most trials. More trials = more accuracy. Less trials = less accuracy.

A study conducted at a certain high school shows that 72% of its graduates enroll at a college. Find the probability that among
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

P(X \geq 1) =1-P(X

And we can use the probability mass function and we got:

P(X=0)=(4C0)(0.72)^0 (1-0.72)^{4-0}=0.00615

And replacing we got:

P(X \geq 1) = 1-0.00615 = 0.99385

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X the random variable of interest "number of graduates who enroll in college", on this case we now that:  

X \sim Binom(n=4, p=0.72)  

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:  

P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}  

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:  

nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}  

We want to find the following probability:

P(X \geq 1)

And we can use the complement rule and we got:

P(X \geq 1) =1-P(X

And we can use the probability mass function and we got:

P(X=0)=(4C0)(0.72)^0 (1-0.72)^{4-0}=0.00615

And replacing we got:

P(X \geq 1) = 1-0.00615 = 0.99385
