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.

dsp73

1) Find the graph of a line passing through (-1, 4) and (2, 0).

The slope of two points can be determined by dividing the difference of y-values by the difference of x-values:

\frac{4-0}{-1-2} =\frac{4}{-3}

The slope of this equation is -4/3. Inputting this into the slope-intercept form of an equation, we get:

y=\frac{-4}{3} x+b

To find b, substitute x and y for one of the given coordinate pairs:

0 = (-4/3)(2) + b

0 = -8/3 + b

8/3 = b

Substitute the b value into the equation to finish the line:

y=\frac{-4}{3} x+\frac{8}{3}

HOW TO DO THIS QUESTION PLEASE ​
garik1379 [7]
First, you need to know how much they’re dilated.

To find that out you do:
15/10 = 1.5

So they’re dilated by 1.5cm

To find the value for y you do:
6•1.5 = 9

y = 9
