Let x be the amount each friend pays .

There are five friends contributing ,so 5x will be the total money collected .

It needs to equal the price plus the tax, 210 + 15 = 225

So the equation becomes,

5x = 210 + 15

5x = 225

dividing right side by 5, we have

x = 225/5 = 45

Answer: So each frien pays $45.

According to an​ airline, flights on a certain route are on time 80 ​% of the time. suppose 10 flights are randomly selected and
natulia [17]
<span>(a) This is a binomial experiment since there are only two possible results for each data point: a flight is either on time (p = 80% = 0.8) or late (q = 1 - p = 1 - 0.8 = 0.2).
​(b) Using the formula:</span><span>
P(r out of n) = (nCr)(p^r)(q^(n-r)), where n = 10 flights, r = the number of flights that arrive on time:
P(7/10) = (10C7)(0.8)^7 (0.2)^(10 - 7) = 0.2013
Therefore, there is a 0.2013 chance that exactly 7 of 10 flights will arrive on time.
​(c) Fewer than 7 flights are on time means that we must add up the probabilities for P(0/10) up to P(6/10).
Following the same formula (this can be done using a summation on a calculator, or using Excel, to make things faster):
P(0/10) + P(1/10) + ... + P(6/10) = 0.1209
This means that there is a 0.1209 chance that less than 7 flights will be on time.
​(d) The probability that at least 7 flights are on time is the exact opposite of part (c), where less than 7 flights are on time. So instead of calculating each formula from scratch, we can simply subtract the answer in part (c) from 1.
1 - 0.1209 = 0.8791.
So there is a 0.8791 chance that at least 7 flights arrive on time.
(e) For this, we must add up P(5/10) + P(6/10) + P(7/10), which gives us
0.0264 + 0.0881 + 0.2013 = 0.3158, so the probability that between 5 to 7 flights arrive on time is 0.3158.

Marrrta [24]

Answer:

The plumber charges £16.50 per hour. this is how to solve it. You minus the callout fee from the total fee which is £167.00- £18.50=£148.50. So you then divide 148.50 by the amount of hours which is 9 hours. so 148.50÷9 = £16.50
