Answer:   0.1340

Step-by-step explanation:

The binomial distribution formula is given by :-

P(x)=^nC_xp^x(1-p)^{n-x}, where P(x) is the probability of x successes out of n trials, p is the probability of success on a particular trial.

Given : The number of employees over 50 years of age =7

The probability of employees over 50 years of age = \dfrac{7}{7+15}=0.318

Number of dismissed employees : n= 9

Now, the required probability will be :

P(x =1)=^{9}C_1(0.318)^{1}(1-0.318)^{9-1}\\\\=(9)(0.318)(1-0.318)^{8}=0.133950588714\approx0.1340

Thus, the probability that exactly 1 employee was over 50 = 0.1340

Simplify: sin^2xcos^2x-cos^2x
shtirl [24]

Answer:

-cos^4(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Use the Pythagorean identity : 1=cos^2(x) + sin^2(x)

1-sin^2(x) = cos^2(x)

-1+sin^2(x) = -cos^2(x)

cos^2(x) (-cos^2(x))

Step 2: Factor out common terms cos^2(x)

cos^2(x) (sin^2(x)-1)

Ans: -cos^4(x)

Women's heights average 65 inches with a standard deviation of 2.2 inches in a certain study. Use the 68-95-99.7 rule to determi
vodomira [7]

• We are told that the average height : Mean () = 65

,

• Standard deviation : SD () = 2.2

• 95 % 0f women height range = +- 3

= 65 +-3( 2.2)

= {65 + 6.6 ; 65 -6.6}

= {71.6 ; 58.4}

• This means that 95 % 0f women height will range between ( 58.4 ) and (71.6 )

Solve the exponential equation for x. 625 = 5 (7x-3)
posledela

Answer:

<h2>A. x = 1</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

5^{7x-3}=625\\\\5^{7x-3}=5^4\iff7x-3=4\qquad\text{add 3 to both sides}\\\\7x=7\qquad\text{divide both sides by 7}\\\\x=1
