The probability, P, that a person responds to an advertisement can be modeled by the exponential function P = 1 – e^-0.047t. In
the formula, t is the number of days since the advertisement first appeared. How many days will it take for the probability that a person has responded reach 75% ?
1 answer:
To solve this equation, start by noticing that you want to find t when P is 75%, or 0.75. Plug in 0.75 for P. Please see the attached screenshot for a step-by-step. The correct answer is 29.496 days.
EDIT 2: I actually was correct! You check the answer by substituting 29.496 for t in the original equation set equal to 0.75. It is 0.75. I had forgotten the negative sign when I checked.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
First, find the probability of him pulling out a book.
There are 11 objects in total, and there are 4 books.
So, the probability of pulling out a book is
Next, find the probability of him pulling out a DVD after.
Since a book was taken out, there are only 10 objects left. There are 5 DVDs.
So, the probability of pulling out a DVD is , or simplified to
To find the probability that this happens in order, multiply the probabilities:
x
=
So, the probability is
