Answer:

Ratios and Proportions - Proportions - In Depth. A proportion is simply a statement that two ratios are equal. It can be written in two ways: as two equal fractions a/b = c/d; or using a colon, a:b = c:d. The following proportion is read as "twenty is to twenty-five as four is to five."

Step-by-step explanation:

A telemarketer is successful at getting people to donate money for her organization in 55% of all calls she makes. She must get
Tems11 [23]
An interesting twist to a binomial distribution problem.

Given:
p=55%=0.55 for probability of success in solicitation
x=4=number of successful solicitations
n=number of calls to be made
P(x,n,p)>=89.9%=0.899  (from context, it is >= and not =, which is almost impossible)

From context of question, all calls are assumed independent, with constant probability of success, so binomial distribution is applicable.

The number of successes, x, is then given by
P(x)=C(n,x)p^x(1-p)^{n-x}where
p=probability of success
n=number of trials
x=number of successesC(n,x)=\frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

Here we need n such that
P(x,n,p)>=0.899
given
x>=4, p=0.55, which means we need to find

Method 1: if a cumulative binomial distribution table is available, we can look up n=9,10,11 and find
P(x>=4,9,0.55)=0.834
P(x>=4,10,0.55)=0.898
P(x>=4,11,0.55)=0.939
So she must make (at least) 11 calls to make sure the probability of meeting her quota is 89.9% or more.

Method 2: using technology.
Similar to method 1, we can look up the probabilities directly, for n=9,10,11
P(x>=4,9,0.55)=0.834178
P(x>=4,10,0.55)=0.8980051
P(x>=4,11,0.55)=0.9390368

Method 3: using simple calculator
Here we need to calculate the probabilities for each value of n=10,11 and sum the probabilities of FAILURE S=P(0,n,0.55)+P(1,n,0.55)+P(2,n,0.55)+P(3,n,0.55)
so that the probability of success is 1-S.
For n=10,
P(0,10,0.55)=0.000341
P(1,10,0.55)=0.004162
P(2,10,0.55)=0.022890
P(3,10,0.55)=0.074603
So that
S=0.000341+0.004162+0.022890+0.074603
=0.101995
and Probability of getting 4 successes (or more) 
=1-S
=0.898005, missing target by 0.1%

So she will have to make 11 phone calls, bring up the probability to 93.9%.  The work is similar to that of n=10.

A box of donuts containing 6 maple bars, 3 chocolate donuts, and 3 custard filled donuts is sitting on a counter in a work offic
Svetlanka [38]

Probabilities are used to determine the chances of selecting a kind of donut from the box.

The probability that Warren eats a chocolate donut, and then a custard filled donut is 0.068

The given parameters are:

\mathbf{Bars = 6}

\mathbf{Chocolate = 3}

\mathbf{Custard= 3}

The total number of donuts in the box is:

\mathbf{Total= 6 + 3 + 3}

\mathbf{Total= 12}

The probability of eating a chocolate donut, and then a custard filled donut is calculated using:

\mathbf{Pr = \frac{Chocolate}{Total}\times \frac{Custard}{Total-1}}

So, we have:

\mathbf{Pr = \frac{3}{12}\times \frac{3}{12-1}}

Simplify

\mathbf{Pr = \frac{3}{12}\times \frac{3}{11}}

Multiply

\mathbf{Pr = \frac{9}{132}}

Divide

\mathbf{Pr = 0.068}

Hence, the probability that Warren eats a chocolate donut, and then a custard filled donut is approximately 0.068

To solve the equation for x by completing the square what equation is equivalent to x^2-x-2=0
GuDViN [60]
So to complete the square in
ax^2+bx+c=d form

make sure a=1
subtract c from both sides
take 1/2 of b and square it
add that to both sides
factor perfect square

1x^2-1x-2=0
a=1
move c to other side
add 2 to oth sides
x^2-1x=2
take 1/2 of b and square it
1/2 of -1=-1/2
squaer it
1/4
add that to both sides
x^2-1x+1/4=2+1/4
factor left side
(x-1/2)=2+1/4

first blank is 1/2

2+1/4=8/4+1/4=9/4

blanks are
1/2 and 9/4
