Answer: 0.383 and 0.6671

Step-by-step explanation:

Take 22%, that is 0.22 to be probability of success.

That means "1-0.22 = 0.78" is the probability of failure.

When dealing with selection in probability mathematics, the combination equation is used.

Probability of selecting number 'r' as a successful outcome from a given number 'n' is given as

nCr * p^r * q^n-r

Where p is the probability of success= 0.22

q is the probability of failure= 0.78

n is the total number of sample =10

r is the varying outcome of number of success.

For the first question, number of success is asked to be everything more than 2, that is probability of choosing 3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 people with a successful outcome (adults who will pay more for environmentally friendly product.)

Instead of going through the long process of checking probability of success for choosing 3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 adults who will pay more, we can simply find the probability of choosing 0,1,2 adults who will pay more and subtract the answer from 1.

By doing this, we first check for probability of choosing 0 adult that will pay More and this is gotten by putting r=0 in our probability Formula. The Formula becomes

=10C0 * 0.22^0 * 0.78^10

=1 *1 * 0.0834= 0.0834

Hence, Probability of Choosing 0 adult that will Pay more is 0.0834

To Check for probability of choosing 1 adult that will pay more becomes

=10C1 * 0.22^1 * 0.78^9

=10 * 0.22 * 0.1069 = 0.2352

Hence, Probability of choosing 1adult that will pay more = 0.2352

To Check for the probability of choosing 2adults that will pay more becomes

=10C2 * 0.22^2 * 0.78^8

=45 * 0.0484 * 0.1370 = 0.2984

Therefore the total sum of choosing 0,1,2 adults that are willing to pay more becomes

= 0.0834+ 0.2352+ 0.2984 = 0.617

So to determine the probability of choosing more than 2 adults, that is, 3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 adults that are willing to pay more, we subtract 0.617 from 1.

This gives 1-0.617 = 0.383

Hence, probability of choosing more than 2 people that are willing to pay more than 2 = 0.383.

To determine the probability of choosing between two and five people inclusive, we follow the same probability formular but r becomes 2,3,4,5 differently.

For probability of choosing 2 adults, we already calculated it to be 0.2984 earlier.

For probability of choosing 3 adults, it becomes

10C3 * 0.22^3 * 0.78^7

=120* 0.0106 * 0.1757 = 0.2235

For the probability of choosign 4 adults, it becomes

10C4 * 0.22^4 * 0.78^6

= 210 * 0.0023 * 0.2252 = 0.1088

For the probability of choosing 5 adults, it becomes

10C5 * 0.22^5 * 0.78^5

= 252 * 0.0005 * 0.2887 = 0.0364

Hence, the probability of choosing between 2 and 5 adults becomes

0.2984 + 0.2235 + 0.1088 + 0.0364 = 0.6671

Lourenço analyzed prices of laptop
Snezhnost [94]
The price y is a function of x, the speed of the processor.

In function notation this means, y=f(x), where f(x)=<span>101x + 207.85.
</span>
For example to calculate the (approximate) price of a laptop with processor 4 gigahertz, we let x=4, and plug in f. 

That is the price y for x=4 is calculated by y=f(4).

So, since y=f(x)=<span>101x + 207.85, the (expected) price of a laptop with processor speed 2.5 gigahertz is :

y=f(2.5)=101(2.5)+207.85= 460.35 ($)

Emmanuel brought 28 lb of potting soil this week. This amount is 4 lb more than twice the amount of potting soil he brought last
jek_recluse [69]
(a) how much potting soil he bought last week
(b) 28 = 2p + 4
(c) 28 = 2p + 4....subtract 4 from both sides
     28 - 4 = 2p...simplify
     24 = 2p...divide both sides by 2
     24/2 = p....simplify
     12 = p......12 solves the equation
(d) He bought 12 lbs of potting soil last week
