Scrat [10]

Answer:

72.69% probability that between 4 and 6 (including endpoints) have a laptop.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each student, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they have a laptop, or they do not. The probability of a student having a laptop is independent from other students. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

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

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

And p is the probability of X happening.

A study indicates that 62% of students have have a laptop.

This means that $n = 0.62$

You randomly sample 8 students.

This means that $n = 8$

Find the probability that between 4 and 6 (including endpoints) have a laptop.

$P(4 \leq X \leq 6) = P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6)$

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 4) = C_{8,4}.(0.62)^{4}.(0.38)^{4} = 0.2157$

$P(X = 5) = C_{8,5}.(0.62)^{5}.(0.38)^{3} = 0.2815$

$P(X = 6) = C_{8,6}.(0.62)^{6}.(0.38)^{2} = 0.2297$

$P(4 \leq X \leq 6) = P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) = 0.2157 + 0.2815 + 0.2297 = 0.7269$

72.69% probability that between 4 and 6 (including endpoints) have a laptop.

1400 dollars is placed in an account with an annual interest rate of 5.5%. to the nearest year, how long will it take for the ac

olga_2 [115]

It will take 19 years and 6 months for the account value to reach 2900 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Principal amount = 1400 dollars

Rate = 5.5 %

Final value = A = 2900

We have to find t

So,

The formula for simple interest is:

$A = P(1+rt)$

Putting values

$2900 = 1400(1+0.055.t)\\\frac{2900}[1400} = 1+0.055t\\2.071 = 1+0.055t\\2.071-1=0.055t\\1.071 =0.055t$

Dividing both sides by 0.055

$\frac{0.055t}{0.055} = \frac{1.071}{0.055}\\t = 19.47\ years$

Rounding off to nearest tenth

19.5 years

Hence,

It will take 19 years and 6 months for the account value to reach 2900 dollars

What is the equation in vertex form of a parabola with vertex (-2, -2) that opens downward and is stretched by a factor of 5?

Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

D). -5(x + 2)^2 - 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Parabola which Opens down and vertex (-2, -2) is :

f(x) = a(x + 2)^2 - 2 where a is negative

Stretch by factor 5 gives:

-5(x + 2)^2 - 2.

How could the distance formula and slope be used to classify triangles and quadrilaterals in the coordinate plane?

S_A_V [24]

~ Use the distance formula to measure the lengths of the sides.

~ Use the slope to check whether sides are perpendicular and form right angles.

~ Use the slope to check whether the diagonals are perpendicular to each.

I hope this helps ^-^

When 80% of a number is added to the number, the result is 252. what is the number

Rashid [163]

I Think The Answer Is 140.

The Expression: 0.8x + x = 252 Can Explain The Answer If x = 140.
Or: 1.8 Times x = 252 If x = 140.
