Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be a random variable representing the number of guesses made for the sat questions.

Since the probability of getting the correct answer to a question is fixed for any number of trials and the outcome is either getting it correctly or not, then it is a binomial distribution. The probability of success, p = 0.2

Probability of failure, q = 1 - p = 1 - 0.2 = 0.8

the probability that the number x of correct answers is fewer than 4 is expressed as

P(x < 4)

From the binomial distribution calculator,

P(x < 4) = 0.97

What is the amount of sales tax owed on a $350 laptop computer if the tax rate is 6%
valentinak56 [21]
What we need to do with this problem is multiply the amount the computer costs ($350) by the tax rate (6%). To do this, we first need to convert the percentage to a decimal, so we divide the 6 given by 100, leaving us with .06. Next, we need to multiply the $350 by the .06, giving us $21 as the amount we should be paying for sales tax. So your answer should be 2) $21.00!

The formula a = 118e0.024t models the population of a particular city, in thousands, t years after 1998. when will the populatio
andriy [413]
Given that the population has been modeled by the formula:
a=118e^(0.024t), the time taken for the population to hit 140k will be given by:
140000=118e^(0.024t)
solving for t we shall have:
140000/118=e^(0.024t)
thus;
0.024t=ln(140000/118)
t=1/0.024*ln(140000/118)
t=295
thus the time the population will be 140000 will be:
1998+295
=2293
