Based on a​ survey, assume that 43​% of consumers are comfortable having drones deliver their purchases. Suppose we want to find

the probability that when five consumers are randomly​ selected, exactly two of them are comfortable with the drones. What is wrong with using the multiplication rule to find the probability of getting two consumers comfortable with drones followed by three consumers not​ comfortable, as in this​ calculation: (0.43 )(0.43 )(0.57 )(0.57 )(0.57 )equals0.0342​?

Answer:

The probability of getting two consumers comfortable with drones is 0.3424.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that a consumer is comfortable having drones deliver their purchases is, <em>p</em> = 0.43.

A random sample of <em>n</em> = 5 consumers are selected, and exactly <em>x</em> = 2 of them are comfortable with the drones.

To compute the probability of getting two consumers comfortable with drones followed by three consumers not​ comfortable, we will use the Binomial distribution instead of the multiplication rule to find the probability.

This is because in this case we need to compute the number of possible combinations of two consumers who are comfortable with drones.

So, <em>X</em> = number of consumers comfortable with drones, follows a Binomial distribution with parameters <em>n</em> = 5 and <em>p</em> = 0.43.

Compute the probability of getting two consumers comfortable with drones as follows:

P(X=x)={5\choose x}\ 0.43^{x}\ (1-0.43)^{5-x};\ x=0,1,2,3...

P(X=2)={5\choose 2}\ 0.43^{2}\ (1-0.43)^{5-2}

               =10\times 0.1849\times 0.185193\\=0.342421857\\\approx 0.3424

Thus, the probability of getting two consumers comfortable with drones is 0.3424.

How can you use exponents to write 10,000,000?
aleksklad [387]

Let's break it down into something more simple:

What's 10 times 10? 100

What's 10 times 10 times 10? 1000

Do you see a pattern? (Cool trick - The number of 10s match the number of 0s in the answer)

We have seven 0s in our answer, so let's check:

10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 = 10,000,000

An exponent tells us that we're multiplying the big number by itself however many times the little number in the corner tells us.

So if we multiply 10 by itself 7 times (what we did above), then our answer will be 10 to the power of 7, or 10^{7}. This is equal to 10,000,000.

Lizette is training for a marathon. At 7:00 she left her house and ran until 8:30, then she walked until 11:30. She covered a to
Leokris [45]
<h3>Answer:</h3>
  • running speed: 8 mph
  • walking speed: 2 mph
<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

Let w represent Lizette's walking speed. Then her running speed is w+6. The relationship between speed, time, and distance is ...

  distance = speed × time

Lizette ran for 1.5 hours, then walked for 3 hours. Her total distance is ...

  (w+6)·1.5 + w·3 = 18

  4.5w + 9 = 18 . . . . . simplify

  4.5w = 9 . . . . . . . . . subtract 9

  w = 2 . . . . . . . . . . . .divide by 4.5

Lizette's walking speed is 2 mph; her running speed is 8 mph.
