Step-by-step explanation:

This is an exercise in converting an expression in words to one that uses mathematical symbols.

Here is the step-by-step process.

$\begin{array}{cl}y & \text{A number y} \\y= & \text{is the same as} \\y = 5 & \text{five} \\y = 5 \, + & \text{increased by} \\\mathbf{y = 5 + 4 \times 12} & \text{the product of four and 12} \\\end{array}$

How do you use the order of operations to evaluate expressions with exponents?

IgorLugansk [536]

Using BEDMAS, it would be brackets first, so anything Inside a set of brackets would be solved first, and would follow the same rule. Once the brackets have been solved, next would be the exponents. Since your brackets have been solved you can expand with the exponents. After exponents, would be anything that has to be divided or multiplied. These two operations are interchangeable based on what is more convenient or beneficial to do first. And lastly, addition and subtraction, which once again are interchangeable operations

It is known that 50% of adult workers have a high school diploma. If a random sample of 8 adult workers is selected, what is the

son4ous [18]

Answer:

85.56% probability that less than 6 of them have a high school diploma

Step-by-step explanation:

For each adult, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they have a high school diploma, or they do not. The probability of an adult having a high school diploma is independent of other adults. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$
