Answer:
p = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
The usually recommended procedure for solving a proportion is to "cross multiply", then divide by the coefficient of the variable. (Solve the remaining one-step equation.)
<h3>Cross multiply</h3>This means multiply both sides of the equation by the product of the denominators:
(15/6)(6p) = (10/p)(6p) . . . . "cross multiply"
15p = 60 . . . . . . simplify
<h3>Second step</h3>Now, divide by the coefficient of the variable.
15p/15 = 60/15
p = 4
The solution is p = 4.

<em>Additional comment</em>
If the variable is in the <em>numerator</em> of the proportion, using cross multiplication, you will find that you end up multiplying and dividing by the other denominator. To solve it in that case, you only need to multiply by the denominator under the variable.

For example, to solve ...
2/5 = p/10
you only need to multiply by 10. You don't need to multiply by 50, then divide by 5.

Any proportion can be written 4 ways:
This suggests another strategy: invert the whole proportion, then solve it as one with p in the numerator:
6/15 = p/10 ⇒ p = 10(6/15) = 4
Using the binomial distribution, it is found that there is a 38% probability that exactly 18 of them say job applicants should follow up within two weeks.
<h3>How to find that a given condition can be modelled by binomial distribution?</h3>Binomial distributions consists of n independent Bernoulli trials.
Bernoulli trials are those trials that end up randomly either on success (with probability p) or on failures( with probability 1- p = q (say))
The probability that out of n trials, there'd be x successes is given by
Binomial probability distribution
The parameters are:
n is the number of trials.
x is the number of successes.
p is the probability of success on a single trial.
In this problem:
62% say job applicants should follow up within two weeks, p = 0.62
25 managers are selected, n = 25
The probability that exactly 18 of them say job applicants should follow up within two weeks is P ( X = 18)
P( X > 18) = 1 - ( X = 18)
= 1 - 0.62
= 0.38
38 % probability that exactly 18 of them say job applicants should follow up within two weeks.
