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.

Equal set is equivalent set but equivalent set not need equal set? why​
nasty-shy [4]
Equal sets have the exact same elements, so they must have the same number of elements. Therefore, equal sets must also be equivalent. No, not all equivalent sets are also equal sets

Freddy spent $56.07 on four pairs of jeans at the store. His cost included $4.15 sales tax.

$12.98 each. You would do $56.07 - $4.15. Then divide the answer of that by four.

What is the mean, median, mode, and range of the numbers 8,15,3,6,13,9
ivolga24 [154]

Hello There!

To find the mean, add up all the numbers and divide according to how many numbers there are. The mean for this set would be <em>"9"</em>

<em></em>

To find the median, place the numbers in value order and find the middle. if there is no middle, add up the two numbers in middle and divide by 2. In this set, the median would be <em>"8.5"</em>

<em></em>

To find the mode or modal value, it is best to put the numbers in order. Then count how many of each number. A number that appears most often is the mode. In this set, there would be no mode.

The range of a set of data is the difference between the highest and lowest values in the set. In this set, the range would be <em>"12"</em>
