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

The next model of sports car will cost 11 9% more than the current model. The current model costs $18,000 How much will the pric
Anon25 [30]

Answer: Down below

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that 11.9% is the same as .119

The price increase = .119 * 58000 = 6902

The price of the new model is 6902+ 58000

1a) Possible rational roots will be of the form
  ±{divisor of 10}/{divisor of 4}
Divisors of 10 are {1, 2, 5, 10}
Divisors of 4 are {1, 2, 4}

Then possible rational roots are
  {±1/4, ±1/2, ±1, ±5/4, ±2, ±5/2, ±5, ±10}

1b) Your answer is correct.

2) One additional root will be the conjuate of the given complex root.
  5 -3i

3) If one root is 5 -√7, another will be 5 +√7. Then your polynomial is
  P(x) = (x -(5 -√7))*(x -(5 +√7)) = (x -5)^2 -(√7)^2
  P(x) = x^2 -10x +18
