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

A house is purchased for $375000 and has gained 12% for the last 5 years. What is it now ?
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

  $420,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The added percentage can be turned into a multiplier to make the problem easier.

  value + 12%×value = value(1 +0.12) = 1.12×value

  1.12×$375,000 = $420,000

It is $420,000 now.

Valentina's family is planning to have a party for her quinceanera. They are considering two different locations to rent for her
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

number of hours = 3 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = number of hours

Casa Lucia = 200 + 500x

Silver Fox = 1,100 + 200x

To solve the equation, equate both cost of rent

Casa Lucia = Silver Fox

200 + 500x = 1,100 + 200x

200 - 1,100 = 200x - 500x

-900 = - 300x

x = -900 / -300

x = 3 hours

number of hours = 3 hours

The solution to the system of equations in this real-world context represents the number of hours both locations can be rented with the same cost.

It means both locations cost the same if rented for 3 hours each

A regular octagon has side length 10.9 in. The perimeter of the octagon is 87.2 in and the area is 392.4 in2. A second octagon h
SCORPION-xisa [38]

To solve this problem, let us first calculate for the Perimeter of the other octagon. The formula for Perimeter is:

Perimeter = n * l

Where n is the number of sides (8) and l is the length of one side. Let us say that first octagon is 1 and the second octagon is 2 so that:

Perimeter 2 = 8 * 16.35 in = 130.8 inch

We know that Area is directly proportional to the square of Perimeter for a regular polygon:

Area = k * Perimeter^2

Where k is the constant of proportionality. Therefore we can equate 1 and 2 since k is constant:

Area 1 / Perimeter 1^2 = Area 2 / Perimeter 2^2

Substituting the known values:

392.4 inches^2 / (87.2 inch)^2 = Area 2 / (130.8 inch)^2

Area 2 = 882.9 inches^2

 

<span>Therefore the area of the larger octagon is about 882.9 square inches.</span>
