Answer:

Multiply the whole number part by the fraction's denominator.

Add that to the numerator

Then write the result on top of the denominator.

Step-by-step explanation:

Example: Convert 3 2/5 to an improper fraction.

Multiply the whole number part by the denominator:

3 × 5 = 15

Add that to the numerator:

15 + 2 = 17

Then write that result above the denominator:

17/5

53% of U.S. adults have very little confidence in newspapers. You randomly select 10 U.S. adults. Find the probability that the

Answer:

$P(X = 5) = 0.2423$

$P( X \ge 6 )= 0.4516$

$P( X < 4 )= 0.12694$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The population proportion is p = 0.53

The sample size is n = 10

Generally the distribution of the confidence of US adults in newspapers follows a binomial distribution

i.e

$X \~ \ \ \ B(n , p)$

and the probability distribution function for binomial distribution is

$P(X = x) = ^{n}C_x * p^x * (1- p)^{n-x}$

Here C stands for combination hence we are going to be making use of the combination function in our calculators

Generally the probability that the number of U.S. adults who have very little confidence in newspapers is exactly five is mathematically represented as

$P(X = 5) = ^{10}C_5 * 0.53^5 * (1- 0.53)^{10-5}$

=> $P(X = 5) = 252 * 0.04182 * 0.023$

=> $P(X = 5) = 0.2423$

Generally the probability that the number of U.S. adults who have very little confidence in newspapers is at least six is mathematically represented as

$P( X \ge 6 )= P( X = 6) + P( X = 7) + P( X = 8) + P( X = 9) + P( X = 10)$

=> $P( X \ge 6 )= [^{10}C_6 * [0.53]^6 * (1- 0.53)^{10-6}] + [^{10}C_7 * [0.53]^7 * (1- 0.53)^{10-7}] + [^{10}C_8 * [0.53]^8 * (1- 0.53)^{10-8}] + [^{10}C_9 * [0.53]^9 * (1- 0.53)^{10-9}] + [^{10}C_{10} * [0.53]^{10} * (1- 0.53)^{10-10}]$

=> $P( X \ge 6 )= [0.227] + [0.1464] + [0.0619] + [0.0155] + [0.00082]$

=> $P( X \ge 6 )= 0.4516$

Generally the probability that the number of U.S. adults who have very little confidence in newspapers is less than four is mathematically represented as

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

=> $P( X < 4 )= [^{10}C_3 * 0.53^3 * (1- 0.53)^{10-3}] + [^{10}C_2 * 0.53^2 * (1- 0.53)^{10-2}] + [^{10}C_1 * 0.53^1 * (1- 0.53)^{10-1}] + [^{10}C_0 * 0.53^0 * (1- 0.53)^{10-0}]$
