Answer:

Probability that the sample contains at least five Roman Catholics = 0.995 .

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that In Quebec, 90 percent of the population subscribes to the Roman Catholic religion.

The Binomial distribution probability is given by;

 P(X = r) = \binom{n}{r}p^{r}(1-p)^{n-r} for x = 0,1,2,3,.......

Here, n = number of trials which is 8 in our case

         r = no. of success which is at least 5 in our case

         p = probability of success which is probability of Roman Catholic of

                 0.90 in our case

So, P(X >= 5) = P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) + P(X = 7) + P(X = 8)

= \binom{8}{5}0.9^{5}(1-0.9)^{8-5} + \binom{8}{6}0.9^{6}(1-0.9)^{8-6} + \binom{8}{7}0.9^{7}(1-0.9)^{8-7} + \binom{8}{8}0.9^{8}(1-0.9)^{8-8}

= 56 * 0.9^{5} * (0.1)^{3} + 28 * 0.9^{6} * (0.1)^{2} + 8 * 0.9^{7} * (0.1)^{1} + 1 * 0.9^{8}

= 0.995

Therefore, probability that the sample contains at least five Roman Catholics is 0.995.

Help me pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeee

Answer: A (6/9) and E (4/6)

Step-by-step explanation: So how to simplify a fraction, you find a number that both the numerator and denominator are divisible by. So for example if you have 6/9; You would divide both 6 and 9 by 3 and you would get 2/3. With E you would divide both 4 and 6 by 2 to get 2 and 3 aka 2/3.

hope this helps
