Answer: 0.3023

Step-by-step explanation:

86 band members

26 are senior, 17 plays trumpet. If 4 are seniors and play trumpet, we solve this using the bayes theorem of conditional probability.

Probability of choosing band member that plays trumpet =17/86 = 2/43.

Probability of choosing a senior that plays trumpet = 4/26

Probability that a chosen member is a senior given that he plays trumpet = (2/43)/(4/26)

= 0.3023.

assume that when adults with smartphones are randomly selected, 44% use them in meetings or classes. If 10 adult smartphones use
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Solution: The given random experiment follows Binomial distribution with n=10,p=0.44

Let X be the number of adults who use their smartphones in meetings or classes.

Therefore, we have to find:

P(X

We know the binomial model is:

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

\therefore P(X

                       =\binom{10}{0}0.44^{0}(1-0.44)^{12-0}+\binom{10}{1}0.44^{1}(1-0.44)^{10-1}+\binom{10}{2}0.44^{2}(1-0.44)^{10-2}

                       =1 \times 1 \times 0.0030 + 10 \times 0.44 \times 0.0054 + 45 \times 0.1936 \times 0.009672

                       =0.0030+0.0238+0.0843

                       =0.1111

Therefore, the probability that fewer than 3 of them is 0.1111

A=2(L+W) solve for W
balu736 [363]
First you divide L+W by 2 and you would get A/2=L+W then you would subtract L and get A/2 -L=W
