I can help you with #20. For example, lets say 3/5, this fraction would be made up of 5 parts and 3 are covered, which doesn't make it full, if it was 5/5 it would be full. When you do something with a reciprocal you turn it over, so 3/5 would be turned over to 5/3, thus making it a whole number

62% of U.S. adults have very little confidence in newspapers. You randomly select 10 U.S. adults. Find the probability that the

Answer:

a) 0.1829

b) 0.6823

c) 0.0413

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information:

We treat adult having little confidence in the newspaper as a success.

P(Adult have little confidence) = 62% = 0.62

Then the number of adults follows a binomial distribution, where

$P(X=x) = \binom{n}{x}.p^x.(1-p)^{n-x}$

where n is the total number of observations, x is the number of success, p is the probability of success.

Now, we are given n = 10

a) exactly 5

$P(x =5)\\\\=\binom{10}{5}(0.62)^5(1-0.62)^5\\\\=0.1829$

0.1829 is the probability that exactly 5 out of 10 U.S.adults have very little confidence in newspapers.

b) atleast six

$P(x \geq 6)\\\\ = P(x = 6) + P(x = 7)+P(x = 8)+P(x = 9)+P(x=10)\\\\= \displaystyle\sum \binom{10}{n}(0.62)^n(1-0.62)^{10-n}, n =6,7,8,9,10\\\\= 0.6823$
