$8.99 \times (100\% + 8.25\%) \\ = 8.99 \times 108.25\% \\ = 9.732$

Answer : Mrs Thomas will need the amount of $9.73 to cover her garden.

Hope this helps. - M

Answer:

a) $P(X=13)=(24C13)(0.4)^{13} (1-0.4)^{24-13}=0.0608$

$P(X=17)=(24C17)(0.4)^{17} (1-0.4)^{24-17}=0.0017$

$P(X=13 U X=17) = 0.0608+0.0017=0.0624$

b) $P(X \geq 17)=0.000427$

c) $P(X \geq 16)= 1-0.000427=0.9996$

d) $E(X)= np = 22*0.4=8.8$

e) $Var(X) = np(1-p)= 22*0.4*(1-0,4)=5.28$

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Previous concepts

The binomial distribution is a "DISCRETE probability distribution that summarizes the probability that a value will take one of two independent values under a given set of parameters. The assumptions for the binomial distribution are that there is only one outcome for each trial, each trial has the same probability of success, and each trial is mutually exclusive, or independent of each other".

2) Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable of interest, on this case we now that:

$X \sim Binom(n=24, p=0.4)$

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:

$P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}$

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:

$nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}$

3) Part a

$P(X=13)=(22C13)(0.4)^{13} (1-0.4)^{22-13}=0.0336$

$P(X=17)=(22C17)(0.4)^{17} (1-0.4)^{22-17}=0.00035$

$P(X=13 U X=17) = 0.0336+0.00035=0.0340$

4) Part b

$P(X \geq 17)=P(X=17)+P(X=18)+P(X=19)+P(X=20)+P(X=21)+P(X=22)$

$P(X=17)=(22C17)(0.4)^{17} (1-0.4)^{22-17}=0.00035$

$P(X=18)=(22C18)(0.4)^{18} (1-0.4)^{22-18}=0.0000651$

$P(X=19)=(22C19)(0.4)^{19} (1-0.4)^{22-19}=0.00000914$

$P(X=20)=(22C20)(0.4)^{20} (1-0.4)^{22-20}=0.000000914$

$P(X=21)=(22C21)(0.4)^{21} (1-0.4)^{22-21}=5.81x10^{-8}$

$P(X=22)=(22C22)(0.4)^{22} (1-0.4)^{22-22}=1.76x10^{-9}$

$P(X \geq 17)=0.000427$

5) Part c

$P(X \leq 16)=1-P(X>16)=1-P(X\geq 17) = 1-[P(X=17)+P(X=18)+P(X=19)+P(X=20)+P(X=21)+P(X=22)]$

$P(X \geq 16)= 1-0.000427=0.9996$

6) Part d

The expected value is:

$E(X)= np = 22*0.4=8.8$

7) Part e

The variance is given by:

$Var(X) = np(1-p)= 22*0.4*(1-0,4)=5.28$

You know that you need two already to make one hexagon. So, if you multiply, or add two four times, 2+2+2+2, you would get eight.

4 kg of smell fresh washing powder costs 19 Pounds.

NeX [460]

Answer:

71.25 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

I'd put it all in a ratio first

So it would look something like this :

WP : P

4. : 19

1. : 4. 75. ( I just divided them both by 4 so wp is 1)

15. : 71. 25. ( I multiplied them by 15 )
