34​% of college students say they use credit cards because of the rewards program. You randomly select 10 college students and a

sk each to name the reason he or she uses credit cards. Find the probability that the number of college students who say they use credit cards because of the rewards program is​ (a) exactly​ two, (b) more than​ two, and​ (c) between two and five inclusive. If​ convenient, use technology to find the probabilities.

Answer:

a) There is a 18.73% probability that exactly two students use credit cards because of the rewards program.

b) There is a 71.62% probability that more than two students use credit cards because of the rewards program.

c) There is a 82% probability that between two and five students, inclusive, use credit cards because of the rewards program.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are only two possible outcomes. Either the student use credit cards because of the rewards program, or they use for other reason. So, we can solve this problem by the binomial distribution.

Binomial probability

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}.\pi^{x}.(1-\pi)^{n-x}

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

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

And \pi is the probability of X happening.

In this problem, we have that:

10 student are sampled, so n = 10

34% of college students say they use credit cards because of the rewards program, so \pi = 0.34

(a) exactly​ two

This is P(X = 2).

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

P(X = 2) = C_{10,2}.(0.34)^{2}.(0.66)^{8} = 0.1873

There is a 18.73% probability that exactly two students use credit cards because of the rewards program.

(b) more than​ two

This is P(X > 2).

Either a value is larger than two, or it is smaller of equal. The sum of the decimal probabilities must be 1. So:

P(X \leq 2) + P(X > 2) = 1

P(X > 2) = 1 - P(X \leq 2)

In which

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

So

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

P(X = 0) = C_{10,0}.(0.34)^{0}.(0.66)^{10} = 0.0157

P(X = 1) = C_{10,1}.(0.34)^{1}.(0.66)^{9} = 0.0808

P(X = 2) = C_{10,2}.(0.34)^{2}.(0.66)^{8} = 0.1873

P(X \leq 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) = 0.0157 + 0.0808 + 0.1873 = 0.2838

P(X > 2) = 1 - P(X \leq 2) = 1 - 0.2838 = 0.7162

There is a 71.62% probability that more than two students use credit cards because of the rewards program.

(c) between two and five inclusive

This is:

P = P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5)

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

P(X = 2) = C_{10,2}.(0.34)^{2}.(0.66)^{8} = 0.1873

P(X = 3) = C_{10,3}.(0.34)^{3}.(0.66)^{7} = 0.2573

P(X = 4) = C_{10,4}.(0.34)^{4}.(0.66)^{6} = 0.2320

P(X = 5) = C_{10,5}.(0.34)^{5}.(0.66)^{5} = 0.1434

P = P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) = 0.1873 + 0.2573 + 0.2320 + 0.1434 = 0.82

There is a 82% probability that between two and five students, inclusive, use credit cards because of the rewards program.

Answer:

Ai. Arithmetic sequence

Aii. Tn = 5 + 7n

Bi. Geometric

Bii. Tn = 8 × 2ⁿ¯¹

Step-by-step explanation:

To successfully answer the questions given above, note the following:

1. If the sequence is Arithmetic, then:

2nd – 1st = 3rd – 2nd = common difference (d)

2. If the sequence is geometric, then,

2nd / 1st = 3rd / 2nd = common ratio (r)

3. A sequence can not be arithmetic geometric at the same time.

4. The nth term of arithmetic sequence is:

Tn = a + (n – 1)d

5. The nth term of geometric sequence is:

Tn = arⁿ¯¹

A. Sequence => 12, 19, 26

i. Determination of the type of sequence.

We'll begin by calculating the common difference

1st term = 12

2nd term = 19

3rd term = 26

Common difference (d) = 2nd – 1st

d = 19 – 12 = 7

OR

d = 3rd – 2nd

d = 26 – 19 = 7

Since a common difference exist in the sequence, the sequence is arithmetic sequence.

ii. Determination of the nth term.

Common difference (d) = 7

1st term (a) = 12

nth term (Tn) =?

Tn = a + (n – 1)d

Tn = 12 + (n – 1)7

Tn = 12 + 7n – 7

Tn = 5 + 7n

B. Sequence => 8, 16, 32

Bi. Determination of the type of sequence.

Let us begin by calculating the common ratio.

1st term = 8

2nd term = 16

3rd term = 32

Common ratio (r) = 2nd / 1st

r = 16 / 8

r = 2

OR

r = 3rd / 2nd

r = 32 / 16

r = 2

Since a common ratio exist in the sequence, the sequence is geometric.

Bii. Determination of the nth term.

Common ratio(r) = 2

1st term (a) = 8

nth term =?

Tn = arⁿ¯¹

Tn = 8 × 2ⁿ¯¹
