Based on a​ survey, when 1009 consumers were asked if they are comfortable with drones delivering their​ purchases, 42% said yes

. The probability of randomly selecting 30 of the 1009 consumers and getting exactly 24 who are comfortable with the drones is represented as 0plus. What does 0plus ​indicate? Does 0plus indicate that it is impossible to get exactly 24 consumers who are comfortable with​ drones?Choose the correct answer below.
A.The probability 0+ indicates that the probability is a very small positive value. It indicates that the event is impossible.
B.The probability 0+ indicates that the probability is a very small positive value. It indicates that the event is​ possible, but very unlikely.
C.The probability 0+ indicates that the probability is a very small positive value. It indicates that the event is likely.
D.The probability 0+ indicates that the probability is zero. It indicates that the event is impossible.

Answer:

B.The probability 0+ indicates that the probability is a very small positive value. It indicates that the event is​ possible, but very unlikely.

Step-by-step explanation:

Out of 1009 consumers a sample of 30 consumers is selected and asked the questions. So, the sample size is 30.

n = 30

Based on previous survey, 42% are comfortable with the drone. So in this sample, we can consider the probability of success to be 42%.

p = 42% = 0.42

q = 1 - p = 1 - 0.42 = 0.58

We want to find the probability of getting exactly 24 consumers who are comfortable with drones.

x = 24

Since, the sample size is fixed, the selections are independent and probability of success is constant, we can use the Binomial Probability to answer this problem. All the conditions of a Binomial Distribution are being satisfied.

According to the formula of Binomial Distribution, the probability of getting exactly x success among n trials is given as:

P( X = x )=^{n}C_{x}(p)^{x}(q)^{n-x}

Using the values, we get:

P(X = 24) =^{30}C_{24}(0.42)^{24}(0.58)^{6}= 0.00002

Thus, the probability of getting exactly 24 consumers from a sample of 30 who are comfortable with drones is 0.00002, which is extremely small.

Since, the value of probability is a very small positive number, it indicates that event is possible but very unlikely. An impossible event has probability equal to 0.

Therefore, option B gives the correct answer.

If it takes a sloth 10 minutes to climb 7.5 feet what’s its climbing speed in miles per hour
qwelly [4]

Answer:

.009  miles/hour

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{7.5}{10}\frac{feet}{minutes} * \frac{1}{5280}   \frac{miles}{feet} *\frac{60}{1}\frac{minutes}{hour}

This is the method you should take with unit conversions in general, just set up fractions so the units cancel out, like the 7.5 feet cancels out with the feet in the 1/5280 so miles is left on top.

Please walk me through this​
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

X is 160. because you can add all the value of x. But first substrate 540 with 100 which is 440. then 1/2x + 1/2x+ (x-15) + (x-25) which is further simplified as x + 2x - 40. then it's further simplified as 3x - 40 = 440. then add 40 with 440 which is 480 then divide it by 3 which is 160. therefore X= 160.
