Answer:

5.78% probability that exactly 2 of them use their smartphones in meetings or classes.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each adult, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they use their smarthphone in meetings or classes, or they do not. The probability of an adult using their smartphone on meetings or classes is independent of other adults. 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.

63% use them in meetings or classes.

This means that p = 0.63

7 adult smartphone users are randomly selected

This means that n = 7

Find the probability that exactly 2 of them use their smartphones in meetings or classes.

This is P(X = 2).

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

P(X = 2) = C_{7,2}.(0.63)^{2}.(0.37)^{5} = 0.0578

5.78% probability that exactly 2 of them use their smartphones in meetings or classes.

Evaluate f (2) if f (x)= 10-x^3
weeeeeb [17]
<span> f (x)= 10-x³. 
f(2) means the value of the function when x=2.
So, we need to substitute 2 instead of x.

f(2) = 10 - 2³ = 10-8 =2

f(2) = 2

Find a set of parametric equations for y= 5x + 11, given the parameter t= 2 – x
Sati [7]

Answer:

x = 2-t and y = -5\cdot t +21

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that y = 5\cdot x + 11 and t = 2-x, the parametric equations are obtained by algebraic means:

1) t = 2-x Given

2) y = 5\cdot x +11 Given

3) y = 5\cdot (x\cdot 1)+11 Associative and modulative properties

4) y = 5\cdot \left[(-1)^{-1} \cdot (-1)\right]\cdot x +11 Existence of multiplicative inverse/Commutative property

5) y = [5\cdot (-1)^{-1}]\cdot [(-1)\cdot x]+11 Associative property

6) y = -5\cdot (-x)+11  \frac{a}{-b} = -\frac{a}{b} / (-1)\cdot a = -a

7) y = -5\cdot (-x+0)+11 Modulative property

8) y = -5\cdot [-x + 2 + (-2)]+11 Existence of additive inverse

9) y = -5 \cdot [(2-x)+(-2)]+11 Associative and commutative properties

10) y = (-5)\cdot (2-x) + (-5)\cdot (-2) +11 Distributive property

11) y = (-5)\cdot (2-x) +21 (-a)\cdot (-b) = a\cdot b

12) y = (-5)\cdot t +21 By 1)

13) y = -5\cdot t +21 (-a)\cdot b = -a \cdot b/Result

14) t+x = (2-x)+x Compatibility with addition

15) t +(-t) +x = (2-x)+x +(-t) Compatibility with addition

16) [t+(-t)]+x= 2 + [x+(-x)]+(-t) Associative property

17) 0+x = (2 + 0) +(-t) Associative property

18) x = 2-t Associative and commutative properties/Definition of subtraction/Result

In consequence, the right answer is x = 2-t and y = -5\cdot t +21.
