Answer:

0.8716 = 87.16% probability that in a sample of 7 customers, fewer that 5 will order a nonalcoholic beverage.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each customer, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they order a nonalcoholic beverage, or they order an alcoholic beverage. The probability of a customer ordering a nonalcoholic beverage is independent of any other customer, 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.

At a Noodle & Company restaurant, the probability that a customer will order a nonalcoholic beverage is 0.43.

This means that p = 0.43

Find the probability that in a sample of 7 customers, fewer that 5 will order a nonalcoholic beverage.

This is:

P(X < 5) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4)

In which

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

P(X = 0) = C_{7,0}.(0.43)^{0}.(0.57)^{7} = 0.0195

P(X = 1) = C_{7,1}.(0.43)^{1}.(0.57)^{6} = 0.1032

P(X = 2) = C_{7,2}.(0.43)^{2}.(0.57)^{5} = 0.2336

P(X = 3) = C_{7,3}.(0.43)^{3}.(0.57)^{4} = 0.2937

P(X = 4) = C_{7,4}.(0.43)^{4}.(0.57)^{3} = 0.2216

Then

P(X < 5) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) = 0.0195 + 0.1032 + 0.2336 + 0.2937 + 0.2216 = 0.8716

0.8716 = 87.16% probability that in a sample of 7 customers, fewer that 5 will order a nonalcoholic beverage.

Help me plz The formula K=59(F−32)+273.15 converts temperatures from Fahrenheit F to Kelvin K.
quester [9]

Let's see what to do buddy...

Step-by-step explanation:

_________________________________

k = 59(f - 32) + 273.15

Subtract the sides of the equation minus -273.15

k - 273.15 = 59(f - 32)

Divided the sides of the equation by 59

\frac{k - 273.15}{59} = \frac{59}{59}  (f - 32)  \\

\frac{k - 273.15}{59} = f - 32 \\

Subtract the sides of the equation plus 32

\frac{k - 273.15}{59} + 32 = f \\

And we're done.

Thanks for watching buddy good luck.

HURRY!!!!!!!!!!!!! 20PTS!!!! AND BRAINLIEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The roots of a function are the x-intercepts. By definition, the y-coordinate of points lying on the x-axis is zero. Therefore, to find the roots of a quadratic function, we set f (x) = 0, and solve the equation, ax2 + bx + c = 0.
