Answer:

A) 2

B) 0.239

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A) Expected value of a binomial distribution is the number of trials times the probability of success.

X = np

Given X = 1 and p = 0.65:

1 = 0.65n

n = 1.54

Rounding up, a salesperson should expect 2 customers until he finds a customer that makes a purchase.

Part B) Use binomial probability.

P = nCr pʳ qⁿ⁻ʳ

where n is the number of trials,

r is the number of successes,

p is the probability of success,

and q is the probability of failure (1−p).

Given n = 3, r = 1, p = 0.65, q = 0.35.

P = ₃C₁ 0.65¹ 0.35³⁻¹

P ≈ 0.239

Or, using binompdf function in a calculator:

binompdf(n, p, r)

= binompdf(3, 0.65, 1)

≈ 0.239

Explain why two obtuse angles cannot be supplementary to another.
Nuetrik [128]
It's impossible. Supplements need to add up to 180 degrees, and in order to be obtuse, the angles would both need to be larger than 90 degrees.

Factor the following polynomials by finding a GCF
lana [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To factor out a GCF from a polynomial we first need to identify the GCF of all the terms, this is the part that goes in front of the parenthesis, then we divide each term by the GCF, the answer is what is left inside the parenthesis. This is shown in the following examples Example 3. 4x2−20x+16 4x2 −20x16GCF is4, divide each term by4
