5% = 0.5

0.5n = 85

Divide by 0.5

0.5n = 85
/0.5 /0.5

n = 170.

The number is 170.

How to tell if its identifying functions is a function or not

Svetach [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Determining whether a relation is a function on a graph is relatively easy by using the vertical line test. If a vertical line crosses the relation on the graph only once in all locations, the relation is a function. However, if a vertical line crosses the relation more than once, the relation is not a function.

Assume that when Human Resource managers are randomly selected, 62% say job applicants should follow up within two weeks. If 25

Alenkinab [10]

Using the binomial distribution, it is found that there is a 38% probability that exactly 18 of them say job applicants should follow up within two weeks.

<h3>How to find that a given condition can be modelled by binomial distribution?</h3>

Binomial distributions consists of n independent Bernoulli trials.

Bernoulli trials are those trials that end up randomly either on success (with probability p) or on failures( with probability 1- p = q (say))

The probability that out of n trials, there'd be x successes is given by

$P(X =x) = \: ^nC_xp^x(1-p)^{n-x}$

Binomial probability distribution

$P(X =x) = \: ^nC_xp^x(1-p)^{n-x}$

The parameters are:

n is the number of trials.

x is the number of successes.

p is the probability of success on a single trial.

In this problem:

62% say job applicants should follow up within two weeks, p = 0.62

25 managers are selected, n = 25

The probability that exactly 18 of them say job applicants should follow up within two weeks is P ( X = 18)

P( X > 18) = 1 - ( X = 18)

= 1 - 0.62

= 0.38

38 % probability that exactly 18 of them say job applicants should follow up within two weeks.

A traffic helicopter descends 153 meters to be 445 meters above the ground, as illustrated in the

sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

598 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

In the problem, the word 'decend' means to decrease in elevation.

Our equation:

$? - 153 = 445$

Add 153 to both sides of the equation:

$?= 598$

598 meters represents the original height of the helicopter.
