Answer:

Answer C can not be used to find the new size of the gym.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's use process of elimination!

A is stating 1.20x, or 120% of x. This is correct, because we have x and then were increasing by 20%, which is just 120%. A is however not the answer because we are asking which expression below could not be used, and A could be used. B is also incorrect because of what I just stated, x + 0.20x is the same thing as 1.20x. C is 20% of x, but that won't get us the answer. C is the correct answer since it cannot be used to find the new size of the gym, but if you really want to you can check answer D as well. In answer D you can distribute the x to the 1 and the 0.20, and you get x + 0.20x, which is the same as answer B. Therefore C is the correct answer.

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

0.20x only tells you 20% of the original gym size, not the increased size of the gym.

Suppose that 40 percent of the drivers stopped at State Police checkpoints in Storrs on Spring Weekend show evidence of driving
lesantik [10]

Answer:

a) 0.778

b) 0.9222

c) 0.6826

d) 0.3174

e) 2 drivers

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Sample size, n = 5

P = 40% = 0.4

a) Probability that none of the drivers shows evidence of intoxication.

P(x=0) = ^nC_x P^x (1-P)^n^-^x

P(x=0) = ^5C_0  (0.4)^0 (1-0.4)^5^-^0

P(x=0) = ^5C_0 (0.4)^0 (0.60)^5

P(x=0) = 0.778

b) Probability that at least one of the drivers shows evidence of intoxication would be:

P(X ≥ 1) = 1 - P(X < 1)

= 1 - P(X = 0)

= 1 - ^5C_0 (0.4)^0 * (0.6)^5

= 1 - 0.0778

= 0.9222

c) The probability that at most two of the drivers show evidence of intoxication.

P(x≤2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2)

^5C_0  (0.4)^0  (0.6)^5 + ^5C_1  (0.4)^1  (0.6)^4 + ^5C_2  (0.4)^2  (0.6)^3

= 0.6826

d) Probability that more than two of the drivers show evidence of intoxication.

P(x>2) = 1 - P(X ≤ 2)

= 1 - [^5C_0  (0.4)^0  (0.6)^5 + ^5C_1  (0.4)^1  (0.6)^4 + ^5C_2 * (0.4)^2  (0.6)^3]

= 1 - 0.6826

= 0.3174

e) Expected number of intoxicated drivers.

To find this, use:

Sample size multiplied by sample proportion

n * p

= 5 * 0.40

= 2

Expected number of intoxicated drivers would be 2
