ANSWER:
We'll first find the increase in CO2 level, between 1959 and 2005.
Now, Percent of increase.
<u>Increase carbon-dioxide levels</u>:— 50.
<u>Percent increase</u>:— 13.62%
Answer:
0.0139
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that in a test for extrasensory perception, the experimenter looks at cards containing either a star, circle, wave, or square. (The subject cannot see the cards.)
Probability for guessing a correct shape out of 4 shapes = 0.25
Each trial is independent of the other
Hence X no of correct guesses is binomial with n = number of cards = 20 and p = constant probability =0.25
the probability a subject correctly guesses at least 10 of the 20 shapes
=
, where F represents the cumulative probability upto 9
= 0.0139
Your answer is $1.26
You can solve this problem with or without a calculator, and I don't know if you're allowed one or not so I'll show you both ways
Calculator:
The easiest way to find percentages of values on the calculator is to use the decimal multipliers, which are just the decimal value of the percentage. For example, 50% would be 0.5, 75% would be 0.75 etc. The decimal value of 15% is 0.15, so you would do 8.40 × 0.15 = 1.26
Non-Calculator:
This is a bit longer, but gives you the same answer. To solve without a calculator, you first divide 8.40 by 10 to find 10%, which is 0.84. Now you can divide that by 2 to find 5%, which would be 0.42, and then you add the two values (because 10% + 5% = 15%) to get 1.26
I hope this helps!
