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.

Answer:

Q matches to a and P matches to b

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a volume question so we can use the volume of a cylinder to see which one corresponds to what.  Volume of a cylinder is \pir^{2}h.  We know that the heights of the cylinders are the same since the diagram says so.  We also know pi is the same since thats a constant.  The only thing thats different is the radius (as you can see radius of P is bigger than Q).  If the radius of P is bigger than Q and all the other things are the same (height is the same and pi is the same), then that automatically means that P has more volume than Q.  More volume means more time to fill up.  Since Q has less volume, it will take less time to fill up.  So now we look at the graph.  A shows that the height of water increases at a faster rate than that of B.  This is because there is less volume in that container (less volume=less time to fill up).  Therefore a matches to Q and therefore b matches to P
