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.

Dmitry [639]

3x = 4y = 7z \\ \Rightarrow \begin{cases}3x - 4y = 0 \\4y - 7z = 0 \\ 7z - 3x = 0\end{cases} \\ \Leftrightarrow \begin{cases}x =  \frac{4}{3} y\\4y - 7z = 0 \\ 7z - 3( \frac{4}{3}y)  = 0\end{cases}  \\ \Leftrightarrow \begin{cases}x =  \frac{4}{3} y\\4y - 7z = 0 \\ 7z - 4y= 0\end{cases} \\ \Leftrightarrow \begin{cases}x =  \frac{4}{3} y\\ y \\ z =  \frac{4}{7}y \end{cases} \\ x,y,z\: are\: intergers\Rightarrow y=LCM(3,7)=21\Rightarrow x = 28,z = 12 \\ \Rightarrow x + y + z = 61

-8w-7+2w=23 what does that equal
olya-2409 [2.1K]
W=-5 because you distribute at the beginning with the 2 variables and you solve that's equation and you will end up with 6w divided by 30 and that's will give u W=-5

15+3x-4+6x= 9x+11 add 6+3 then subtract 15-4

3y-4x+8x-y= 4x+2y add -4+8 then subtract 3-1

5x+8x+10x-3x= 20x Add 10+5+8 to get 23 then subtract 3
