Answer:

0.3874 = 38.74% probability that exactly 9 of the 10 consumers recognize her brand name.

0.6126 = 61.26% probability that the number who recognize her brand name is not nine.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each consumer, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they recognize the name, or they do not. The probability of a customer recognizing the name is independent of anu other customer. This means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

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

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

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

And p is the probability of X happening.

The brand name of Mrs. Fields (cookies) has a 90% recognition rate.

This means that p = 0.9.

Sample of 10

This means that n = 10

Find the probability that exactly 9 of the 10 consumers recognize her brand name.

This is P(X = 9). So

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

P(X = 9) = C_{10,9}.(0.9)^{9}.(0.1)^{1} = 0.3874

0.3874 = 38.74% probability that exactly 9 of the 10 consumers recognize her brand name.

Also, find the probability that the number who recognize her brand name is not nine.

1(100%) subtracted by those who recognize. So

1 - 0.3874 = 0.6126

0.6126 = 61.26% probability that the number who recognize her brand name is not nine.

A kite flying in the air has a 12 - ft line attached to it. its line is pulled taut and casts a 10 - ft shadow. find the height
tekilochka [14]

The height of the kite will be 6.6 ft rounded to the nearest tenth.

<u><em>Explanation</em></u>

According to the below diagram, AB is the height of the kite and AC is the 12 ft line attached to it.

The line is pulled taut and casts a 10 ft shadow. That means BC = 10 ft

Now, in right angle triangle ABC, using <u>Pythagorean theorem</u>....

(AB)^2 +(BC)^2 = (AC)^2 \\ \\ (AB)^2 +(10)^2 = (12)^2 \\ \\ (AB)^2 +100 = 144\\ \\ (AB)^2 = 144-100 =44\\ \\ AB=\sqrt{44}= 6.6332....

So, the height of the kite will be 6.6 ft rounded to the nearest tenth.
