Hey there!

$\large\boxed{21 ft}$

If he is going to cut it into 5 equal pieces then we need to divide 105 by 5.

105 ÷ 5 = 21

So, each piece will be 21 feet long.

Hope this helps!

g At a certain gas station, 30% of all customers use the restroom. What is the probability that, out of the next 10 customers, (

Kruka [31]

Answer:

$P(x=4) = 0.200$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$n=10$ --- selected customers

$x = 4$ --- those that are expected to use the restroom

$p =30\% = 0.30$ --- proportion that uses the restroom

Required

$P(x = 4)$

The question illustrates binomial probability and the formula is:

$P(x) = ^nC_x * p^x * (1 - p)^{n - x}$

So, we have:

$P(x=4) = ^{10}C_4 * (0.30)^4 * (1 - 0.30)^{10 - 4}$

$P(x=4) = ^{10}C_4 * (0.30)^4 * (0.70)^6$

$P(x=4) = 210* (0.30)^4 * (0.70)^6$

$P(x=4) = 0.200$

Q and R are independent events. If P(Q)= 1/8 and P(R)=2/5 find P(Q and R).

Dafna11 [192]

Answer: 1/20
To find P(Q and R), you have to multiply P(Q) by P(R) to get the probability that both events will occur. P(Q) = 1/8, and P(R) = 2/5, so when multiplied together, you get 2/40. This simplifies to 1/20, meaning P(Q and R) = 1/20.
