We are given:

p = probability = 0.12<span>
n = total students = 39 </span>

x = left handers = 5<span>
u = mean = p* n = 4.68 
σ = standard dev = √ ( n*p*(1-p)) = √ ( 39 * 0.12 * 0.88 ) = 2.03</span>

 

Calculating for the z score:

z = (x – u) / σ<span>
z = (5 – 4.68) / 2.03</span>

<span>z = 0.1576 = 0.16

</span>

Using the standard tables for z, the p value is:

p value = 0.5636 = 56.36%

 

Hence there is a 56.36% chance.

Answer:

0.1856

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that prob that an individual is left-handed is 0.12.

n = sample size = no of students = 39

q = 1-p = 0.88

Let X be the no of students who are left handed.

X is binomial since each student is independent of the other and there are only two outcomes

X:Bin(39, 0.12)

Probability of finding five left-handers

=P(X=5)

= 39C5 (0.12)^5 (0.88)^34

=0.1856

Answer is 0.1856

the price of a dress is $40.00. it went to sale at a discount of 25%. if the sales tax is 6% what is the final cost of the dress
Delvig [45]
 So first you figure out what 25% of $40.00 is whitch would be $30.00. Then what i think you would do next is add 6% of the cost of the dress. 6% of $30.00 is $1.80. so $30.00 + $1.80 = $31.80 dollors for the dress.

What is the solution to the system of equations? Use the substitution method. {y=2x+43x−6y=3
garri49 [273]
We have that
<span>y=2x+4--------> equation 1
3x−6y=3-------> equation 2

step 1
</span>I substitute the value of y in equation 1 for the value of y in equation 2<span>
so
</span>3x−6*[2x+4]=3-------> 3x-12x-24=3
-9x=3+24
-9x=27------> 9x=-27
x=-27/9
x=-3

step 2
<span>I substitute the value of x in equation 1 to get the value of y</span>
y=2x+4--------> y=2*(-3)+4--------> y=-6+4
y=-2

the answer is 
the solution is the point (-3,-2)
x=-3
y=-2
