A real estate agent has 14 properties that she shows. She feels that there is a 50% chance of selling any one property during a

week. The chance of selling any one property is independent of selling another property. Compute the probability of selling more than 4 properties in one week.

Answer:

91.02% probability of selling more than 4 properties in one week.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each property, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is sold, or it is not. The chance of selling any one property is independent of selling another property. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

In this problem we have that:

n = 14, p = 0.5

Compute the probability of selling more than 4 properties in one week.

Either you sell 4 or less properties in one week, or you sell more. The sum of the probabilities of these events is decimal 1. So

P(X \leq 4)  + P(X > 4) = 1

We want to find P(X > 4). So

P(X > 4) = 1 - P(X \leq 4)

In which

P(X \leq 4) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4)

So

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 0) = C_{14,0}.(0.5)^{0}.(0.5)^{14} = 0.000061

P(X = 1) = C_{14,1}.(0.5)^{1}.(0.5)^{13} = 0.000854

P(X = 2) = C_{14,2}.(0.5)^{2}.(0.5)^{12} = 0.0056

P(X = 3) = C_{14,3}.(0.5)^{3}.(0.5)^{11} = 0.0222

P(X = 4) = C_{14,4}.(0.5)^{4}.(0.5)^{10} = 0.0611

So

P(X \leq 4) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) = 0.000061 + 0.000854 + 0.0056 + 0.0222 + 0.0611 = 0.0898

Finally

P(X > 4) = 1 - P(X \leq 4) = 1 - 0.0898 = 0.9102

91.02% probability of selling more than 4 properties in one week.

Find the value of X.
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

x= 60

Step-by-step explanation:

if y is the other missing side

y^2 = 64^2 + 48^2

y^2 = 4,096 + 2,304

y^2 = 6,400

100^2 = x^2 +y^2

x^2 = 10,000 - 6,400

x^2 = 3,600

x = 60

A hotel offers a reward program based on the number of night stayed. The function f(x) represents the number of free nights earn
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

a. A customer earns 1 free night per 10 nights stayed.  

Step-by-step explanation:

The missing function is:

f(x) = x/10  

The missing options are:

<em> a. A customer earns 1 free night per 10 nights stayed.  </em>

<em> b. A customer starts with 1 free night and then earns another free night after every 10 nights stayed. </em>

<em> c.A customer earns x – 10 free nights for every 10 nights stayed.  </em>

<em> d. A customer earns 10 free nights after x number of nights stayed. </em>

The function means that after a customer stayed 10 nights, a free night is earned. That is, replacing x = 10 into the function, we get:

f(10) = 10/10  = 1

which means 10 nights are equivalent to 1 free night.

A) What type of triangle is triangle ABC?<br> isosceles<br> b) Give reasons for your answer.
lara31 [8.8K]

The type of triangle represented in the image attached to the task content is; Isosceles.

<h3>What type of triangle is triangle ABC?</h3>

By observation; since line AB and DE are parallel lines; it follows from the alternate Angie theorem that; <ABC = <BCE = 80°.

On this note, since angle ACD is 50°, the measure on <ACB is;

180 - 80 - 50 = 50°.

Therefore, since the sum of interior angle measures in a triangle is; 180°.

It follows that; <BAC is; 180 - 80 - 50 = 50°.

Hence, since the base angles; BAC and ACB are equal; it follows that the triangle in discuss is an isosceles triangle.
