A real estate agent has 12 properties that she shows. She feels that there is a 30% chance of selling any one property during a

week. The chance of selling any one property is independent of selling another property. Compute the probability of selling no more than 2 properties in one week. Round your answer to four decimal places.

Answer:

0.2528 = 25.28% probability of selling no more than 2 properties in one week.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each property, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they are sold, or they are not. The chance of selling any one property is independent of selling another property, 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.

A real estate agent has 12 properties that she shows.

This means that n = 12

She feels that there is a 30% chance of selling any one property during a week.

This means that p = 0.3

Compute the probability of selling no more than 2 properties in one week.

2 or less sold, which is:

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

In which

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

P(X = 0) = C_{12,0}.(0.3)^{0}.(0.7)^{12} = 0.0138

P(X = 1) = C_{12,1}.(0.3)^{1}.(0.7)^{11} = 0.0712

P(X = 2) = C_{12,2}.(0.3)^{2}.(0.7)^{10} = 0.1678

Then

P(X \leq 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) = 0.0138 + 0.0712 + 0.1678 = 0.2528

0.2528 = 25.28% probability of selling no more than 2 properties in one week.

-2(3x+2) is greater than or equal to -6x-4
olchik [2.2K]
The inequality would look like this:

-2 (3x + 2)\geq-6x-4

To begin to find the solutions, distribute the -2 throughout the set of parenthesis on the left side of the inequality by multiplying the -2 by each term in the set of parenthesis

-2 x 3x = -6x
-2 x 2 = -4

-6x -4 \geq-6x-4

Begin to isolate x by performing the opposite operation of adding -6x on both sides of the inequality

0x -4 \geq-4

Next perform the opposite operation by adding 4 on both sides of the inequality

0x \geq 0

Now, I'm not exactly understanding how that can possibly work. So, I guess I didn't really help you. But add a comment so that we can talk about the problem :)
