In 0.57 which is the part and which is the whole

No.

To check this yourself, you need the denominators to be the same to be able to easily compare the two.

For example, does 5/8 = 40/64?

1. Determine what you would need to do to the denominator in 5/8 to make it 64. (Multiply it by 8)
2. Find what fraction is equal to 1 with a denominator of 8. (8/8)
3. Multiply the fraction 5/8 by the one you just found (8/8), numerator times numerator, denominator times denominator.
4. Compare the answer with the second fraction.

It is important that when you multiply the denominator by any number you multiply the numerator by the same number. This is to preserve the fraction's value. This works because any number divided by itself is equal to 1, AND when you multiply any number by 1 (whether 1 is in the form of 1 or 4/4 or 8/8 or 234/234), the answer is always equal to the original number.

Another way to check would be to simply enter 1/2 into a calculator, write down the answer. Next enter 5/8 into a calculator. If the answers are the same, they are equal.

assume that when adults with smartphones are randomly selected 15 use them in meetings or classes if 15 adult smartphones are ra

Tanzania [10]

Answer:

The probability that at least 4 of them use their smartphones is 0.1773.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that when adults with smartphones are randomly selected 15% use them in meetings or classes.

Also, 15 adult smartphones are randomly selected.

Let X = Number of adults who use their smartphones

The above situation can be represented through the binomial distribution;

$P(X = r) = \binom{n}{r}\times p^{r} \times (1-p)^{n-r} ; n = 0,1,2,3,.......$

where, n = number of trials (samples) taken = 15 adult smartphones

r = number of success = at least 4

p = probability of success which in our question is the % of adults

who use them in meetings or classes, i.e. 15%.

So, X ~ Binom(n = 15, p = 0.15)

Now, the probability that at least 4 of them use their smartphones is given by = P(X $\geq$ 4)

P(X $\geq$ 4) = 1 - P(X = 0) - P(X = 1) - P(X = 2) - P(X = 3)

= $1- \binom{15}{0}\times 0.15^{0} \times (1-0.15)^{15-0}-\binom{15}{1}\times 0.15^{1} \times (1-0.15)^{15-1}-\binom{15}{2}\times 0.15^{2} \times (1-0.15)^{15-2}-\binom{15}{3}\times 0.15^{3} \times (1-0.15)^{15-3}$
