Answer:

The probability that exactly one of these mortgages is delinquent is 0.357.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that according to the Mortgage Bankers Association, 8% of U.S. mortgages were delinquent in 2011. A delinquent mortgage is one that has missed at least one payment but has not yet gone to foreclosure.

A random sample of eight mortgages was selected.

The above situation can be represented through Binomial distribution;

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

where, n = number of trials (samples) taken = 8 mortgages

            r = number of success = exactly one

           p = probability of success which in our question is % of U.S.

                  mortgages those were delinquent in 2011, i.e; 8%

<em>LET X = Number of U.S. mortgages those were delinquent in 2011</em>

So, it means X ~ Binom(n=8, p=0.08)

Now, Probability that exactly one of these mortgages is delinquent is given by = P(X = 1)

                 P(X = 1)  = \binom{8}{1}\times 0.08^{1} \times (1-0.08)^{8-1}

                               = 8 \times 0.08 \times 0.92^{7}

                               = 0.357

<u><em>Hence, the probability that exactly one of these mortgages is delinquent is 0.357.</em></u>

Apples sell for $1.90 per pound, and bananas sell for $0.75 per pound. Troy bought some apples and some bananas. Together they w
matrenka [14]

Answer:

1.15p + 285 = 5.84

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem has two equations. Total cost and Total pounds. The cost and the pounds

p = apple pounds

b = banana pounds

<u>Cost</u>

1.90p + .75b =  5.84

<u>Pounds</u>

p + b = 3.8

<u>Now we use the substitute method for system of equations to solve</u>

p + b = 3.8

b = -p + 3.8

<u>Now that we know what b equals, substitute is for b in the cost equation.</u>

1.90p + .75b =  5.84

1.90p + .75(-p+3.8) =  5.84

<u>distribute / multiply  .75 by (-p+3.8)</u>

1.90p +  -.75p + 2.85 =  5.84

<u>Combine the p values</u>

1.15p + 285 = 5.84
