A TV executive is interested in the popularity of a particular cable TV show. She has been told that a whopping 68% of American

households would be interested in tuning in to a new network version of the show. If this is correct, what is the probability that all 6 of the households in her city being monitored by the TV industry would tune in to the new show

Answer:

0.0989 = 9.89% probability that all 6 of the households in her city being monitored by the TV industry would tune in to the new show

Step-by-step explanation:

For each household, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they will tune in to the show, or they wont. The probability of a household being tuned in to the show is independent of any other household. This 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.

She has been told that a whopping 68% of American households would be interested in tuning in to a new network version of the show.

This means that p = 0.68

If this is correct, what is the probability that all 6 of the households in her city being monitored by the TV industry would tune in to the new show

All 6 is P(X = 6) when n = 6. So

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 6) = C_{6,6}.(0.68)^{6}.(0.32)^{0} = 0.0989

0.0989 = 9.89% probability that all 6 of the households in her city being monitored by the TV industry would tune in to the new show

A restaurant that makes deliveries plotted data points on a scatter plot showing the relationship between x, the number of miles
Sergeeva-Olga [200]
Given:
y = 2x + 6
x - the number of miles between restaurant and point of delivery
y - the number of minutes between the time an order is place and the time it is delivered.

The correct conclusion is:
<span>C) It takes the restaurant about 6 minutes to prepare each order for delivery 


2x is the time it takes to deliver the order, every mile is traveled within 2 minutes.
6 is the number of minutes it takes to prepare the order before it will be set out for delivery.

How can the Pythagorean Identity be used to find sin θ, cos θ, or tan θ and the quadrant location of the angle?
Archy [21]

First lets see the pythagorean identities

sin^2 \Theta + cos^2 \Theta =1

So if we have to solve for sin theta , first we move cos theta to left side and then take square root to both sides, that is

sin^2 \Theta = 1-cos^2 \Theta => sin \theta = \pm \sqrt{1-cos^2 \Theta}

Now we need to check the sign of sin theta

First we have to remember the sign of sin, cos , tan in the quadrants. In first quadrant , all are positive. In second quadrant, only sin and cosine are positive. In third quadrant , only tan and cot are positive and in the last quadrant , only cos and sec are positive.

So if theta is in second quadrant, then we have to positive sign but if theta is in third or fourth quadrant, then we have to use negative sign .

Given Sin x= 0.5, what is cos x?
Svetllana [295]
Sin x = 0.5
sin x = 1/2
sin x = opp/hyp
therefore the ratio of opp/hyp = 1/2, (opp = 1, hyp = 2)

Find the opp side

1² + x² = 2²
1 + x² = 4
x² = 4 -1
x² = 3
x =√3

The opp side is √3

cos x = opp/hyp = √3/2 = 0.87 (round to the nearest hundredths)

140 degrees decreased by 65%
BaLLatris [955]
Hey there! 
<span>Here are the steps involved: 
</span>
1.Change 65% into a decimal. Move the decimal two places to the left and you get 0.65.

2. Multiply 0.65 by 50.
<span>140 x 0.65 = 91.

3. Since you are decreasing 140 by 65%, subtract 140 by 91. 
140-91= 49
