Answer:

0.551

Step-by-step explanation:

Let no. of people who take discount = x

Using binomial distribution, N c X. p^x. q^(n-x)

p : customer getting discount = 0.3, q : customer not getting discount = 0.7   n : no. of customers = 8

Probability that x < 3 : Prob (x=0) + Prob (x=1) + Prob (x=2)

= 8 c 0. (0.3)^0 . (0.7)^8 + 8 c 1. (0.3)^1 . (0.7)^7 + 8 c 2. (0.3)^2 . (0.7)^6

0.05764801 +  0.19765032 + 0.29647548

0.551

Which measurement is the best estimate for the length of a clothespin? 9 mm 9 cm 9 m 9 km?
s344n2d4d5 [400]

The answer would 9 cm. All of the given choices are wrong since the measurement maybe too big or too small. Like for 9 millimeter, it would be too small for a clothespin. While 9km is too big for a clothespin, there is no such thing as a 9km clothespin. While 9 m is also too big. The approximate size of a clothespin is 3 inches, when we convert it to cm, it will be 7 cm. So 9 cm is a best approximate.

A single gram of a certain metallic substance has 0.52 g of copper and 0.25 g of zinc the remaining portion of the substance is
andrezito [222]
Ben's estimate gives 7 g of nickel; the actual amount is 8.03 g.

In 1 g of the substance, there is 0.52 g of copper and 0.25 g of zinc; this gives 
0.52+0.25 = 0.77 g of the substance.

The remaining part of the substance is nickel:
1-0.77 = 0.23 g of nickel.

Using Ben's estimate, 0.2 g of nickel per gram of substance, we have
0.2(35) = 7 g of nickel in 35 g of the substance.

The actual amount is 0.23(35) = 8.03 g of nickel in 35 g of the substance.
