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.

Keith has $500 in a savings account at the beginning of the summer. He withdraws $25 each week for food, clothes, and movie tick
alexdok [17]

Answer:

You can put this solution on YOUR website!

the inequality is 500 - 25x >= 200

this insures that he will have at least 200 at the end of the summer.

subtract 200 from both sides of that inequality and add 25x to both sides of that inequality to get 500 - 200 >= 25x

simplify to get 300 >= 25x

divide both sides of that equation by 25 to get 300 / 25 >= x

simplify to get 12 >= x

12 >= x means x <= 12.

 

when x is smaller than or equal to 12, he will be guaranteed to have at least 200 in the account at the end of the summer.

when x = 12, what is left in the account is 500 - 25 * 12 = 200.

when x = 11, what is left in the account is 500 - 25 * 11 = 225.

when x = 13, what is left in the account is 500 - 25 * 13 = 175.

the maximum number of weeks he can withdraw money from his account is 12.
