Answer:

0.5433 is the probability that out of three executive job applicants, none lied on their application.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information:

We treat individuals lying on the resume as a success.

P(Individuals lie on resume) = 18.4% = 0.184

Then the number of job applicants follows a binomial distribution, where

P(X=x) = \binom{n}{x}.p^x.(1-p)^{n-x}

where n is the total number of observations, x is the number of success, p is the probability of success.

Now, we are given n = 3

We have to evaluate:

P(None lied on resume)

P(x =0)\\\\= \binom{3}{0}(0.184)^0(1-0.184)^3\\\\= 0.5433

0.5433 is the probability that out of three executive job applicants, none lied on their application.

Mrac [35]

Answer:

  • 2 1/4 pounds of blueberries

Step-by-step explanation:

Blueberries - b, raspberries - x

<u>Equations as per question:</u>

  • b = x * 1/5
  • b + 1 4/5 = x

<u>Eliminate b and solve for x:</u>

  • 1/5x = x - 1 4/5
  • x - 1/5x = 1 4/5
  • 4/5x = 9/5
  • x = 9/5 : 4/5
  • x = 9/5 *5/4
  • x = 9/4
  • x = 2 1/4
