According to a survey, 60% of adults believe that all college stu- dents should be required to perform a specified number of hou

rs of community service to graduate. Assume that this percentage is true for the current population of adults.
a. Find the probability that the number of adults in a random sample of 12 who hold this view is
i. exactly 8 (use the appropriate formula)
ii. at least 6 (use the appropriate table from Appendix B)
iii. less than 4 (use the appropriate table from Appendix B)
b. Let x be the number of adults in a random sample of 12 who believe that all college students should be required to perform a specified number of hours of community service to gradu- ate. Using the appropriate table from Appendix B, write the probability distribution of x. Find the mean and standard deviation of x.

The table isnt attached, However, using formula we can obtain the result.

Answer:

0.2128 ; 0.8418 ; 0.015316

Step-by-step explanation:

Using binomial probability formula :

P(x = x) = nCr * p^x * (1 - p)^(n-x)

p = 60% = 0.6

n = sample size = 12

Probability of :

i. exactly 8

P(x = 8) = 12C8 * 0.6^8 * 0.4^4

495 * 0.01679616 * 0.0256 = 0.2128

ii. at least 6

P(x ≥ 6) = p(6) + p(7) +... + p(12)

Using calculator to save computation time :

P(x ≥ 6) = 0.8418 (binomial probability calculator)

iii. less than 4

P( x < 4) = p(3) + p(2) + p(1) + p(0)

P( x < 4) = 0.0125 + 0.0025 + 0.0003 + 0.000016

= 0.015316

A square pyramid has a base length of 6 inches. The height of each triangular face is 11 inches. Which expressions correctly cal
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

168 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

The square would be 36 in²

Area of a triangle is A= 1/2 bh

A = 1/2 (11 x 6), A= 1/2 (66)

1/2 (66) = 33 in², which is the area of a triangle.

Then you multiply 33 x 4 to get the area of all the triangles, which is 132 in²

You add the area of the square to the area of the triangles, which is 168 in².

-BARSIC- [3]

with a point given and the slope , you can find the the line, of this form,  THE EQUATION POINT SLOPE IS

Y-Y1= M(X-X1)  , Y-(-1) = -1/2( X- 10),   Y+1 = -1/2X+ 5, Y = -1/2 X +5 -1,  Y = -1/2X+ 4

julsineya [31]
You use pi times radius squared. Pi 15 squared=706.858 then take 706.858 and multiply it by the depth of 12. 706.858×12=8482.3 Cm squared. 8482.3 cm to liters is about 8.5 liters
