Answer:

0.006% probability that the final vote count is unanimous.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each person, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they vote yes, or they vote no. The probability of a person voting yes or no is independent of any other person. So we use the binomial probability distribution 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.

Random voting:

So 50% of voting yes, 50% no, so p = 0.5

15 members:

This means that n = 15

What is the probability that the final vote count is unanimous?

Either all vote no(P(X = 0)) or all vote yes(P(X = 15)). So

p = P(X = 0) + P(X = 15)

In which

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

P(X = 0) = C_{15,0}.(0.5)^{0}.(0.5)^{15} = 0.00003

P(X = 15) = C_{15,15}.(0.5)^{15}.(0.5)^{0} = 0.00003

So

p = P(X = 0) + P(X = 15) = 0.00003 + 0.00003 = 0.00006

0.006% probability that the final vote count is unanimous.

Can someone please show me how to divide 22 and 121 please and take your time explaining so that way I can understand it. Thank
Aleonysh [2.5K]

When dividing 22 into 121 , you are cosidering how many times 22 goes into 121. This is called division.

Now how do we use division to find this?

well we do 22 over 121 or 22/121

The next step is the conversion to decimal.

How do we figure this out? well we use multiplication through the remainder theorem. The way this works is we figure out how many times 121 goes into a quantity of another number so,

121 goes into 22 how many times. Well 0, thus by the reaminder theorem we will add a zero assuming that we put a decimal place so now we know the number is atleast .XX

Now we have 220, so how many times does 121 go into 220? Well 1. We can add that to our number .1XX and we subtract that from 220 and then add a zero.

220-121 is 99 plus add a zero so we now have 990. 121 goes into 990 how many times? 8 times so we know the number is .18

This process could be continued forever, but there is no need. I hope I explained this well. Explaining core concepts like this generally should be done in person with someone.

Find the domain and range of each relation. Then determine if the relation is a function. ​
Vlad [161]

Answer:

There is no fixed domain, meaning it is ongoing

The range is from -1 ≤ x ≤ 3

It is a function

Step-by-step explanation:

Domain refers to the x values. If there was a domain then there would be a dot or a point signalling that there is a fixed domain, however, there are arrows meaning that it will keep going.

The range refers to the y-values. The lowest y-value is -1 and the highest is 3.

It is a function because, when you do the vertical line test, each x-value has its own y-value.

Paul can type 60 words per minute and Jennifer can type 80 words per minute. How does Paul’s typing speed compare to Jennifer’s
yan [13]
I'm not certain how exactly this question is supposed to be answered. 

If it wants a ratio, Paul and Jennifer's speeds would be in a ratio of 3:4.

It also could be Paul types 20 words per minute slower than Jennifer.

It could be Paul types 33% slower than Jennifer.

Another answer could be Paul's typing speed is 3/4ths of Jennifer's typing speed.

Feel free to ask any further questions.

Kelly has made 16 out of 25 free throws. the probability that she will make her next free throw is 64%. Is this an Experimental
Anna71 [15]
Well percents are probability, and probability is similar to theory. So i think its theoritical probability.

Hope this helps.
