A friend has a 83% average before the final exam for a course. That score includes everything but the final, which counts for 25

Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

$\mathrm{Best\:course\:grade\:possible:\:}87.25\%,\\\mathrm{Minimum\:score\:on\:final\:to\:earn\:at\:least\:a\:75\%\:for\:the\:course:\:}51\%$

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the maximum score for the final is $100\%$ , we can multiply each score by its respective course weight and add them together to give a final score. If your friend did receive this maximum score of $100\%$ , their overall grade for the course would be:

$83(1-0.25)+100(0.25)=\fbox{$87.25\%$}$ .

To find the minimum score they need to earn a 75% for the course, we set up the following equation:

$83(1-0.25)+x(0.25)=75$ , where $x$ is the minimum score she needs.

Solving, we get:

$62.25+x(0.25)=75,\\x(0.25)=12.75,\\x=\fbox{$51\%$}$ .

Solve for x. <br><br> 12x/5 = 18

jarptica [38.1K]

For this problem you have to isolate the variable. To do this you must inverse the operations. Multiply 18 by 5, then divide by 12 to get your answer of 7.5

A recent study suggested that 70% of all eligible voters will vote in the next presidential election. Suppose 20 eligible voters

natita [175]

Answer:

0.0479 = 4.79% probability that fewer than 11 of them will vote

Step-by-step explanation:

For each voter, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they will vote, or they will not. The probability of a voter voting is independent of any other voter, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used 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.

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

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

70% of all eligible voters will vote in the next presidential election.

This means that $p = 0.7$

20 eligible voters were randomly selected from the population of all eligible voters.

This means that $n = 20$

What is the probability that fewer than 11 of them will vote?

This is:

$P(X < 11) = P(X = 10) + P(X = 9) + P(X = 8) + P(X = 7) + P(X = 6) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 0)$

In which

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

$P(X = 10) = C_{20,10}.(0.7)^{10}.(0.3)^{10} = 0.0308$

$P(X = 9) = C_{20,9}.(0.7)^{9}.(0.3)^{11} = 0.0120$

$P(X = 8) = C_{20,8}.(0.7)^{8}.(0.3)^{12} = 0.0039$

$P(X = 7) = C_{20,7}.(0.7)^{7}.(0.3)^{13} = 0.0010$

$P(X = 6) = C_{20,10}.(0.7)^{6}.(0.3)^{12} = 0.0002$

$P(X = 5) = C_{20,5}.(0.7)^{5}.(0.3)^{15} \approx 0$

The probability of 5 or less voting is very close to 0, so they will not affect the outcome. Then

$P(X < 11) = P(X = 10) + P(X = 9) + P(X = 8) + P(X = 7) + P(X = 6) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 0) = 0.0308 + 0.0120 + 0.0039 + 0.0010 + 0.0002 = 0.0479$

0.0479 = 4.79% probability that fewer than 11 of them will vote
