To figure out who is taller, we can take each mixed number and find a common denominator.

5/16 (x3) 15/48
7/24 (x2) 14/48

This tells us that Ben is taller because Marcus is shorter than him by 1/48.

Answer:

Ben is taller than Marcus

Step-by-step explanation:

Height of Marcus = 5\frac{7}{24}feet

To write this mixed fraction in decimal the we need to split it and add the two terms-

5\frac{7}{24} = 5 + \frac{7}{24} = 5 + 0.291 = 5.291

∴Height of Marcus = 5.291feet

Height of Ben = 5\frac{5}{16}feet

Similarly we can write this also in decimal as-

5\frac{5}{16} = 5 + \frac{5}{16} = 5 + 0.313= 5.313

∴Height of Ben= 5.313feet

∴ Ben is taller than Marcus

3. Assume that the likelihood of a child under the age of ten watching PBS is 0.76. Three children are
natta225 [31]

Using the binomial distribution, the probabilities are given as follows:

a) 0.4159 = 41.59%.

b) 0.5610 = 56.10%.

c) 0.8549 = 85.49%.

<h3>What is the binomial distribution formula?</h3>

The formula is:

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

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

The parameters are:

  • x is the number of successes.
  • n is the number of trials.
  • p is the probability of a success on a single trial.

For this problem, the values of the parameters are:

n = 3, p = 0.76.

Item a:

The probability is P(X = 2), hence:

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

P(X = 2) = C_{3,2}.(0.76)^{2}.(0.24)^{1} = 0.4159

Item b:

The probability is P(X < 3), hence:

P(X < 3) = 1 - P(X = 3)

In which:

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

P(X = 3) = C_{3,3}.(0.76)^{3}.(0.24)^{0} = 0.4390

Then:

P(X < 3) = 1 - P(X = 3) = 1 - 0.4390 = 0.5610 = 56.10%.

Item c:

The probability is:

P(X \geq 2) = P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) = 0.4159 + 0.4390 = 0.8549
