Answer:

0.4466 = 44.66% probability that, in exactly one of the two classes, all 8 students pass.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each student, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they pass, or they do not. The probability of an student passing is independent of other students, which 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.

Probability that all students pass in a class:

Class of 8 students, which means that n = 8

Each student has a 95% chance of passing their class independent of the other students, which means that p = 0.95

This probability is P(X = 8). So

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

P(X = 8) = C_{8,8}.(0.95)^{8}.(0.05)^{0} = 0.6634

Find the probability that, in exactly one of the two classes, all 8 students pass.

Two classes means that n = 2

0.6634 probability all students pass in a class, which means that p = 0.6634.

This probability is P(X = 1). So

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

P(X = 2) = C_{2,1}.(0.6634)^{1}.(0.3366)^{1} = 0.4466

0.4466 = 44.66% probability that, in exactly one of the two classes, all 8 students pass.

An object is dropped from a height of 400 feet. The amount of time, in seconds, the object takes to hit the ground can be found
lidiya [134]

-16t^2+400=0

16t^2=400

take square root on both sides.

\sqrt{16t^2} =\sqrt{400}

4t=20

t=20/4

t=5

Jordan saved 4/5 of the amount he needs to buy a $80 video game. If he earns $7.75 per hour by working at a pizza shop, how many
Aleksandr [31]
Amount of money saved by Jordon for the video game = (4/5) * 80
                                                                                        = 4 * 16 dollars
                                                                                         = 64 dollars
So
The amount of money that
Jordan needs to earn more for buying the video game = (80 - 64) dollars
                                                                                       = 16 dollars
Amount earned by Jordan per hour working at a pizza shop = $7.75
Let us assume the number of hours Jordan needs to work to save the rest of the money for the video game = x
Then
7.75x = 16
x = 16/7.75
   =  2.06 hours
So it can be said that Jordan has to work 3 hours to save the rest of the money for the video game. If Jordan works 2 hours then he will be short of the required amount. If Jordan works for 3 hours he will have some excess amount in his hand after saving for the video game.
