The Census Bureau says that the 10 most common names in the United States are (in order) Smith, Johnson, Williams, Jones, Brown,

Jones, Miller, Davis, Garcia, Rodriguez, Wilson. These names account for 9.6% of all U.S. residents.
Out of curiosity, you look at the authors of the textbooks for your current courses. There are 11 authors in all. Would you be surprised if none of the names of these authors were among the 10 most common?
 Give a probability to support your answer. Your answer should be rounded to three decimal places

Using binomial distribution where success is the appearing of any of the top 10 most common names, thus probability of success (p) is 9.6% = 0.096 and the probability of failure = 1 - 0.096 = 0.904. Number of trials is 11.
Binomial distribution probability is given by P(x) = nCx (p)^x (q)^(n - x)
Probability that none of the top 10 most common names appears is P(0) = 11C0 (0.096)^0 (0.904)^(11 - 0) = (0.904)^11 = 0.3295
Thus, the probability that at least one of the 10 most common names appear is 1 - 0.3295 = 0.6705

Therefore, I will be supprised that none of the names of the authors were among the 10 most common names given that the probability that at least one of the names appear is 67%.

Sewing patterns recommended buying extra fabric in case of mistakes. Darlene bought 7 yards of fabric, plus 20% extra fabric. Ch
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

Darlene bought more fabric

Darlene bought 3.4 yards more

Step-by-step explanation:

Darlene = 7 yards + 20% extra

= 7 yards + (20% of 7 yards)

= 7 + (20% × 7)

= 7 + (0.2 × 7)

= 7 + 1.4

= 8.4 yards

Chris = 4 yards + 25% of 4 yards

= 4 yards + (25% of 4 yards)

= 4 + (25% × 4)

= 4 + (0.25 × 4)

= 4 + 1

= 5 yards

Darlene bought more fabric

How much more?

Darlene - Chris

= 8.4 yards - 5 yards

= 3.4 yards

Darlene bought 3.4 yards more

Can someone help with the polynomials? Please
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

22x^2 -10xy + 12x

Step-by-step explanation:

To add and subtract polynomials, combine only like terms. When doing it vertically, stack polynomials and line up the same bases and exponents. Once this is done, simply add and subtract the coefficients.

  10x^2 + 12xy + 4x

+ 12x^2 -22xy + 8x

_________________

22x^2 -10xy + 12x

Here we added 10 + 12 = 22, 12 + -22 = -10 and 4 + 8 = 12.
