Answer:

p =\frac{25}{40+20+25+15}= \frac{25}{100}= 0.25

So then the probability for this case would be 0.25 or 25%

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have 40 black , 20 yellow, 25 orange, and 15 purple wristbands

And we want to find the probability that Melanie will select an orange wristband so we can use the definition of probability:

p =\frac{successes}{total}

And replacing we got:

p =\frac{25}{40+20+25+15}= \frac{25}{100}= 0.25

So then the probability for this case would be 0.25 or 25%

39 percent of all customers who enter a store will make a purchase. Suppose that 6 customers enter the store and that these cust
aleksklad [387]

Answer:the probability that exactly five customers make a purchase is 0.033

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for binomial distribution is expressed as

P(x = r) = nCr × q^(n - r) × p^r

Where

p = probability of success

q= probability of failure

n = number of sample

From the information given,

39 percent of all customers who enter a store will make a purchase. It means that the probability of success, p = 39/100 = 0.39

The probability of failure q, would be 1 - p = 1 - 0.39 = 0.61

n = 6

The probability that exactly five customers make a purchase is expressed as

P(x = 5) = 6C5 × 0.61^(6 - 5) × 0.39^5

P(x = 5) = 6 × 0.61× 0.39^5 = 0.033

2x^2=9-3x <br> Find the factors
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

x = -3, $ \frac{3}{2} $

Step-by-step explanation:

The given quadratic equation is: $ 2x^2 = 9 - 3x $

This can be written as: $ 2x^2 + 3x - 9 = 0 $

To solve a quadratic equation of the form $ ax^2 + bx + c = 0 $ we use the formula:

           $ x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a} $

Here, a = 2; b = 3; c = - 9

Therefore, the roots of the equation are:

$ x = \frac{- 3 \pm \sqrt{9 - 4(2)(-9)}}{2(2)} $

$ \implies x = \frac{-3 \pm \sqrt{81}}{4} $

$ \implies x = \frac{-3 \pm 9}{4} $

We get two values of 'x', viz.,

x = $ \frac{-3 + 9}{4} $ and $ \frac{- 3 - 9}{4} $

$ \implies x = \frac{6}{4} \hspace{5mm} \& \hspace{5mm} \frac{-12}{4} $

⇒ x = -3, 3/2

Since the factors of the quadratic equation is asked, we write it as:

(x + 3)(x - $ \frac{3}{2} $) = 0

because, if (x - a)(x - b) are the factors of a quadratic equation, then 'a' and 'b' are its roots.

Multiply (x + 3) and (x - $ \frac{3}{2} $ to see that this indeed is the given quadratic equation.
