Answer:

0.9021 = 90.21% probability that 10 or fewer customers choose the leading brand

Step-by-step explanation:

For each customer, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they choose the leading brand, or they do not. The probability of a customer choosing the leading brand is independent of any other customer, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

The leading brand of dishwasher detergent has a 30% market share.

This means that p = 0.3

A sample of 25 dishwasher detergent customers was taken.

This means that n = 25

a. What is the probability that 10 or fewer customers choose the leading brand?

This is:

P(X \leq 10) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) + P(X = 7) + P(X = 8) + P(X = 9) + P(X = 10)

In which

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 0) = C_{25,0}.(0.3)^{0}.(0.7)^{25} = 0.0001

P(X = 1) = C_{25,1}.(0.3)^{1}.(0.7)^{24} = 0.0014

P(X = 2) = C_{25,2}.(0.3)^{2}.(0.7)^{23} = 0.0074

P(X = 3) = C_{25,3}.(0.3)^{3}.(0.7)^{22} = 0.0243

P(X = 4) = C_{25,4}.(0.3)^{4}.(0.7)^{21} = 0.0572

P(X = 5) = C_{25,5}.(0.3)^{5}.(0.7)^{20} = 0.1030

P(X = 6) = C_{25,6}.(0.3)^{6}.(0.7)^{19} = 0.1472

P(X = 7) = C_{25,7}.(0.3)^{7}.(0.7)^{18} = 0.1712

P(X = 8) = C_{25,8}.(0.3)^{8}.(0.7)^{17} = 0.1651

P(X = 9) = C_{25,9}.(0.3)^{9}.(0.7)^{16} = 0.1336

P(X = 10) = C_{25,10}.(0.3)^{10}.(0.7)^{15} = 0.0916

Then

P(X \leq 10) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) + P(X = 7) + P(X = 8) + P(X = 9) + P(X = 10) = 0.0001 + 0.0014 + 0.0074 + 0.0243 + 0.0572 + 0.1030 + 0.1472 + 0.1712 + 0.1651 + 0.1336 + 0.0916 = 0.9021

0.9021 = 90.21% probability that 10 or fewer customers choose the leading brand

If line a is perpendicular to line b and the slope of line a is 7 whats the slope of line b
amm1812

Answer:

If a line is perpendicular to another line, that means that the slope is completely opposite that of the original line.  The first thing that we do to the slope is we negate the number which means that if we have a slope of -7 our slope because 7 in this step.  In our case our slope is 7 so in this step it becomes -7.

Moving onto the second part which is to get the reciprocal of the number which means that if we have \frac{1}{2} then we would switch it to 2.  In our case our number is -7 so we would make that into a fraction like this -\frac{1}{7}.

In conclusion, our final slope of the perpendicular line is -\frac{1}{7}.

Y=-6x + 5<br> x - y = 5
rodikova [14]

Answer:

y = \frac{-25}{7} or -3.571

x = \frac{10}{7} or 1.429

Step-by-step explanation:

x - y = 5

x = 5 + y

Solve for y:

y =  -6x + 5

y =  -6(5 + y) + 5  Substitute x with 5 + y

y = -6(5) - 6y + 5

y = -30 - 6y + 5

y + 6y = -30 + 5

7y = -25

y = \frac{-25}{7} or -3.571

Solve for x:

x = 5 + y

x = 5 + -25/7

x = \frac{10}{7} or 1.429
