Answer: Choice C) 0.6964;  0.6972

============================================

Work Shown:

n = 15

p = 0.5

q = 1-p = 1-0.5 = 0.5

P(k) = (n C k)*(p)^k*(q)^(n-k)

P(k) = (15 C k)*(0.5)^k*(0.5)^(15-k)

----------------

If you plug in k = 7, then we get,

P(k) = (15 C k)*(0.5)^k*(0.5)^(15-k)

P(7) = (15 C 7)*(0.5)^7*(0.5)^(15-7)

P(7) = 6435*(0.5)^7*(0.5)^8

P(7) = 0.1964

-----------------

Repeat for k = 8 all the way through k = 15. You could do this by hand, but I recommend using a spreadsheet to make things go much quicker.

Once you determine those values, add them up and you should get 0.6964 which is the binomial probability we want.

------------------

As for the normal approximation, you'll need to compute the mu and sigma to get

  • mu = n*p = 15*0.5 = 7.5
  • sigma = sqrt(n*p*q) = sqrt(15*0.5*0.5) = 1.93649 which is approximate.

The normal distribution will have those parameters.

Since we're using a continuity correction, we need to bump the x = 6 up to x = 6.5, since we want to be larger than 6

Let's find the z score

z = (x - mu)/sigma

z = (6.5 - 7.5)/(1.93649)

z = -0.516398

Now use a Z table or a calculator to determine that P(Z > -0.516398) = 0.6972 approximately. If you're using a TI calculator, then you'll use the normalCDF function. If you're using excel, then you would use the NormDist function (make sure to turn the cumulative flag to "true"). Alternatively, you can search out free z calculators to get the job done.

If both triangles are congruent (that's what the sign means), then AD=CB, and CD=AB. Substituting what we are given into CD=AB,


6x-5=3x+10

Solving the equation:

3x=15

x=5

So we know that 2x+4 (the value of AD) becomes 2*5 +4, and you get 14. Since we know that AD=CB, then CB is also 14. No need to find y!

Answer: CB=14

How do you find a percent of another number
Pepsi [2]

Step-by-step explanation:

This actually depends in different  problem but the way I think your talking about is the easiest way.

Problem: 80% of 385

Step 1 You will be Multiplying

Step 2. Move the decimal to the left by 2 places.

Example: 385

              x .80

              ----------

Step 3 do the problem

example:  385

                 x.80

               -----------

               308.0% is the percentage

               make sure to drop the decimal  but if there  there nothing after it don't leave it in your final answers ( some teachers mark it wrong when it really it's not wrong just improper format)
