Answer:

b) 2.00

Step-by-step explanation:

For each name, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is authentic, or it is not. The probability of a name being authentic is independent of any other name. This means that we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

E(X) = np

She randomly selects five names from the list for validation.

This means that n = 5

40% of the names on the list are non-authentic

This means that p = 0.4

The expected (average) value of x is

E(X) = np = 5*0.4 = 2

The correct answer is given by option B.

I need help!
Naddik [55]

Answer:  Estimate: 36  ? units ? miles per hour ? feet per second?

Exact: 35.32142857  but if you are supposed to use significant digits, 35.32 is probably good.

Step-by-step explanation: For the estimate, round off the fractions to whole numbers, so multiply 6 x 6 to get 36

For exact I converted the mixed numbers to improper fractions, 5 3/4 = 23/4  and 6 1/7 = 43/7. Then multiplied the numerators 23 x 43= 989.  And denominators, 4x7=28.  

Divide numerator by denominator  989/28= 35.321428571
