Assume that when adults with smartphones are randomly​ selected, ​44% use them in meetings or classes. If 8 adult smartphone use

rs are randomly​ selected, find the probability that exactly 2 of them use their smartphones in meetings or classes.

Answer: The probability is 0.448

Step-by-step explanation:

First, 44% of adults use their smartphones in meetings or classes, then the probability that a random adult uses their smartphone on a meeting is:

p = 0.44

Then the probability that a random adult do not use it is:

q = 1 - 0.44 = 0.66

If 8 adult smartphone users are randomly​ selected, find the probability that exactly 2 of them use their smartphones in meetings or classes.

For a random (and fixed) case, the probability will be equal to the product of the individual probabilities for each person, this leads to:

P = (0.44)*(0.44)*(0.66)*(0.66)*(0.66)*(0.66)*(0.66)*(0.66)

P = (0.44)²*(0.66)⁶ = 0.016

And now we need to consider the different combinations. If we have C combinations, then the probability for the event will be C*P.

Remember that if we have N elements, the total number of different groups of K elements (from these N elements) is:

C(N,K) = \frac{N!}{(N - K)!*K!}

In this case, we have N = 8, and K = 2

Then we get:

C(8, 2) = \frac{8!}{(8 - 2)!*2!} = \frac{8!}{6!*2!} = \frac{8*7}{2}  = 4*7 = 28

Then there are 28 different combinations.

This means that the probability is:

Probability = 28*P = 28*0.016 = 0.448

Probability = 0.448

This figure is 14 of a circle.
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

The perimeter of a quarter of a circle with radius 2 inches is 7.1 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A quarter of a circle with radius labeled 2 in.

Quarter of circle means fourth part of a circle  (as shown in image by shaded part).

We have to find the perimeter of this shaded quarter of circle.

Perimeter is the sum of the dimension of the given figure.

Perimeter of circle is 2\pi r

Since, we are given Quarter circle so its perimeter \frac{2}{4} \pi r+r+r=\frac{1}{2} \pi r+r+r

Perimeter of given figure = \frac{1}{2} \pi r+r+r

Perimeter of given figure = \frac{1}{2}\cdot 3.14 \cdot 2+2+2=3.14+4=7.14

Thus, the perimeter of a quarter of a circle with radius 2 inches is 7.1 inches.
