Answer:

0.0105 = 1.05% probability that no more than 3 of the entry forms will include an order.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each entry form, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it includes an order, or it does not. The probability of an entry including an order is independent of any other entry, 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.

The Magazine Mass Marketing Company has received 16 entries in its latest sweepstakes.

This means that n = 16

They know that the probability of receiving a magazine subscription order with an entry form is 0.5.

This means that p = 0.5

What is the probability that no more than 3 of the entry forms will include an order?

At most 3 including an order, which is:

P(X \leq 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3)

In which

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

P(X = 0) = C_{16,0}.(0.5)^{0}.(0.5)^{16} \approx 0

P(X = 1) = C_{16,1}.(0.5)^{1}.(0.5)^{15} = 0.0002

P(X = 2) = C_{16,2}.(0.5)^{2}.(0.5)^{14} = 0.0018

P(X = 3) = C_{16,3}.(0.5)^{3}.(0.5)^{13} = 0.0085

Then

P(X \leq 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) = 0 + 0.0002 + 0.0018 + 0.0085 = 0.0105

0.0105 = 1.05% probability that no more than 3 of the entry forms will include an order.

15 is the answer because 5 is a prime factor so 5 into 105=21 and 3 is another prime factor so 3 into 21=7 and 7 is another so 7 into 7=1 and 5+3+7=15

<h3>Answer:  3.1691, 5.8, 5.802, 5.82</h3>

Explanation:

The smallest item is 3.1691 which is listed first. This is because 3 is smaller than 5.

Now to sort the values that start with 5.

Think of 5.82 as 5.820; think of 5.8 as 5.800

We can see that 820 is larger than 800, which means 5.820 is larger than 5.800; in short, 5.82 > 5.8

Through similar logic, we can see that 5.82 > 5.802 and it further means 5.82 is the largest item. The next largest is 5.802

The sub-list {5.802, 5.82, 5.8} sorts to {5.8, 5.802, 5.82}. These values are then written after the 3.1691 mentioned. This will produce the fully sorted list from smallest to largest.
