Answer:

2.8 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Think of this distance as the hypotenuse of a right triangle that has a vertical leg and a horizontal one as well.

Going from P to Q, the change in x is 2 and the change in y is also 2.

Thus, by the Pythagorean Theorem, this desired distance is:

d = √(2^2 + 2^2) = 2√2 units, or 2.8 units

Question 4

stealth61 [152]

Question 4:
2x-3
Because we don’t know how much Fernando has that would be where we fill in the variable giving you 2x then 3 dollars less will give you the -3 therefore 2x-3
Question 5:
1/2x+7
Because we don’t know Deb’s age that would be the variable and we are looking for half of Deb’s age giving you 1/2x then the 7 years more giving you the +7 hence 1/2x+7

23% of college students say they use credit cards because of the rewards program. You randomly select 10 college students and as

zlopas [31]

Answer:

a) There is a 29.42% probability that the number of college students who say they use credit cards because of the rewards program is exactly two.

b) There is a 41.37% probability that the number of college students who say they use credit cards because of the rewards program is more than two.

c) There is a 69.49% probability that the number of college students who say they use credit cards because of the rewards program is between two and five, inclusive.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are only two possible outcomes. Either the student use credit cards because of the rewards program, or they use for other reason. So, we can solve this exercise using the binomial probability distribution.

Binomial probability distribution

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

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.\pi^{x}.(1-\pi)^{n-x}$

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

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

And $\pi$ is the probability of X happening.

In this problem, we have that:

10 students are randomly selected, so $n = 10$ .

23% of college students say they use credit cards because of the rewards program. This means that $\pi = 0.23$

(a) exactly two

This is P(X = 2).

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.\pi^{x}.(1-\pi)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 2) = C_{10,2}.(0.23)^{2}.(0.77)^{8} = 0.2942$

There is a 29.42% probability that the number of college students who say they use credit cards because of the rewards program is exactly two.

(b) more than two

This is $P(X > 2)$ .

Either a value is larger than two, or it is smaller of equal. The sum of the decimal probabilities of these events must be 1. So:

$P(X \leq 2) + P(X > 2) = 1$

$P(X > 2) = 1 - P(X \leq 2)$

In which

$P(X \leq 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2)$

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.\pi^{x}.(1-\pi)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{10,0}.(0.23)^{0}.(0.77)^{10} = 0.0733$

$P(X = 1) = C_{10,1}.(0.23)^{1}.(0.77)^{9} = 0.2188$

$P(X = 2) = C_{10,2}.(0.23)^{2}.(0.77)^{8} = 0.2942$

$P(X \leq 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) = 0.0733 + 0.2188 + 0.2942 = 0.5863$

$P(X > 2) = 1 - P(X \leq 2) = 1 - 0.5863 = 0.4137$

There is a 41.37% probability that the number of college students who say they use credit cards because of the rewards program is more than two.

(c) between two and five inclusive.

This is

$P = P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5)$

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.\pi^{x}.(1-\pi)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 2) = C_{10,2}.(0.23)^{2}.(0.77)^{8} = 0.2942$

$P(X = 3) = C_{10,3}.(0.23)^{3}.(0.77)^{7} = 0.2343$

$P(X = 4) = C_{10,4}.(0.23)^{4}.(0.77)^{6} = 0.1225$

$P(X = 5) = C_{10,3}.(0.23)^{5}.(0.77)^{5} = 0.0439$

$P = P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) = 0.2942 + 0.2343 + 0.1225 + 0.0439 = 0.6949$

There is a 69.49% probability that the number of college students who say they use credit cards because of the rewards program is between two and five, inclusive.
