Answer:

The expected number of contracts the sales representative will get this week is 5.22

Step-by-step explanation:

For each client, there are only two possible outcomes. Either there is a sales contract, or there is not. The probability of having a sale contract with each client is independent of other clients. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this problem.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

E(X) = np

In this problem, we have that:

n = 18, p = 0.29

What is the expected number of contracts the sales representative will get this week?

E(X) = np = 18*0.29 = 5.22

The expected number of contracts the sales representative will get this week is 5.22

1615/170 simplify show work
Sloan [31]
1615/170

We first need to convert this into a proper fraction. Which means that the denominator must be larger than the numerator for it to be proper. Also, since 1615 is BIGGER than 170, we will end up with a mixed fraction. A mixed fraction always has a whole number.

1615 can go into 170 how many times?

9 times

170*9 = 1530

Now subtract.

1615 - 1530 = 85

Now we have our mixed fraction:  9  85/170

Now we must simplify the fraction.

85/5 = 17
170/5 = 34

17/34 is the smallest possible fraction we can get. 

9 17/34

Final answer:  9  \frac{17}{34}

PLZ PLZ HELP ASAP ABOUT TO FAIL
andre [41]
First we need to figures it how much centimeters is in the cylinder . The bottom is 20 centimeter meters and the side is 110 centimeters. Take out the zeros and do 11 x 2, that equals 22, then put the 2 zeros back in. So the cylinder has a mass of 2200 centimeters. We want to fill half of the cylinder, so divided 2200 by 2 and that is 1100 centimeters. And 1100 is the answer to this equation.
