Complete question :

A blind taste test will be conducted with 9 volunteers to determine whether people can taste a difference between bottled water and tap water. Each participant will taste the water from two different glasses and then identify which glass he or she thinks contains the tap water. Assuming that people cannot taste a difference between bottled water and tap water, what is the probability that at least 8 of the 9 participants will correctly identify the tap water?

Answer:

0.0196

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the binomial probability relation :

P(x = x) = nCx * p^x * q^(n-x)

Here,

p = 0.5 ; q = 1 - p = 0.5

Number of trials, n = 9

P(x ≥ 9) = p(x = 8) + p(x = 9)

P(x = 8) = 9C8 * 0.5^8 * 0.5^1 = 0.0176

P(x = 9) = 9C9 * 0.5^9 * 0.5^0 = 0.0020

P(x =8) +. P(x =9) = 0.0176 + 0.0020 = 0.0196

A survey found that 78% of students do their homework before 10:00 predict how many students out 975 do their homework before 10
GenaCL600 [577]
Hi Zahra, I've found a very simple and effective way of calculating percentages. 78% refers to 78 out of every 100, which can also be written as "0.78". Now, we can simply multiply 0.78 by your number (975) to get 760.5 students. Obviously, there isn't a half a student, so we round that number up to 761. So 761 out of 975 students do their homework before 10:00.

Solve the following inequality.
Luden [163]
First simplify.
-\frac{2}{3}x \ \textgreater \  \mathrm{Multiply\:fractions}:\ \:a\cdot \frac{b}{c}=\frac{a\:\cdot \:b}{c} \ \textgreater \  -\frac{2x}{3}

\mathrm{Multiply\:both\:sides\:by\:-1\:\left(reverse\:the\:inequality\right)} \ \textgreater \ \ \textgreater \  \frac{2x}{3}\ \textless \ -8

\mathrm{Multiply\:both\:sides\:by\:}3 \ \textgreater \  \frac{3\cdot \:2x}{3}\ \textless \ 3\left(-8\right) \ \textgreater \  Simplify \ \textgreater \  2x\ \textless \ -24

\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}2 \ \textgreater \  \frac{2x}{2}\ \textless \ \frac{-24}{2} \ \textgreater \  Simplify \ \textgreater \  x\ \textless \ -12

Therefore\; x\ \textless \ -12 \;is\;our\;answer!

Hope this helps!
