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.

3: multiply the change per minute by how many minutes: 3.1x15=46.5. 5: Is your opinion, I can't tell you how to feel. But a negative times a negative is a positive, so if there is an even number of negatives no matter how many positives there are it will be positive, if there is an odd number of negatives it will be negative. :) Hope this helps!

Cindy has a salary of $880 per week and is paid every two weeks. She has the following deductions from each paycheck: Federal in
Nitella [24]

Answer:

244.80 If I'm not wrong.

Step-by-step explanation:

Add all of the deductions together and subtract them by 880

By using g00gle I found out that 195.82 + 63.60 + 134.64 + 176.00 = 635.24.

So now you subtract it by her salary down below:

880.00 - 635.24 = 244.76  

244.80 or 245 if I'm not wrong
