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%.

Write each quadratic function below in terms of linear factors.a)f(x)=x²-25b)f(x)=x²+25c)f(x)=4x²+25d)f(x)=x²-2x+1e)f(x)=x²-2x+4
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

a) (x + 5) (x - 5)

b) (x + 5i) (x - 5i)

c) (x + (5i/2)) (x - (5i/2))

d) (x-1)(x-1)

e) x +i√3 +1) (x -i√3+1)

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we will need to factorize each quadratic function making it equal to zero first and then proceeding to find x  

a) f(x) = x²-25

x²-25 = 0

⇒(x + 5) (x - 5)

b) f(x)=x²+25

x² + 25 = 0

x²= -25

x = √-25

x = √25i

x = ±5i

⇒(x + 5i) (x - 5i)

c) f(x)=4x²+25

4x²+25 = 0

4x²= -25

x² = -25/4

x = ±√(-25/4)

x = ±(√25i)/2

x = ±5i /2

⇒(x + (5i/2)) (x - (5i/2))

d) f(x)=x²-2x+1

x²-2x+1 = 0

⇒(x - 1)²

e) f(x)=x²-2x+4

x²-2x+4 = 0

x²-2x = -4

x²-2x +1 = -4 +1

x²-2x + 1 = -3

(x-1)² +3 = 0

(x-1)²= -3

x-1 = √-3

x = ±√3i +1

⇒(x +i√3 +1) (x -i√3+1)
