Answer:

a) 0.0214 = 2.14% probability that none of the people are Independent.

b) 0.8516 = 85.16% probability that fewer than 6 are Independent.

c) 0.8914 = 89.14% probability that more than 2 people are Independent.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each people, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they are independent, or they are not. For each person asked, the probability of them being Independent voters is the same. This means that 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.

It is believed that 11% of voters are Independent.

This means that p = 0.11

A survey asked 33 people to identify themselves as Democrat, Republican, or Independent.

This means that n = 33

A. What is the probability that none of the people are Independent?

This is P(X = 0). So

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

P(X = 0) = C_{33,0}.(0.11)^{0}.(0.89)^{33} = 0.0214

0.0214 = 2.14% probability that none of the people are Independent.

B. What is the probability that fewer than 6 are Independent?

This is

P(X < 6) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5)

So

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

P(X = 0) = C_{33,0}.(0.11)^{0}.(0.89)^{33} = 0.0214

P(X = 1) = C_{33,1}.(0.11)^{1}.(0.89)^{32} = 0.0872

P(X = 2) = C_{33,2}.(0.11)^{2}.(0.89)^{31} = 0.1724

P(X = 3) = C_{33,3}.(0.11)^{3}.(0.89)^{30} = 0.2202

P(X = 4) = C_{33,4}.(0.11)^{4}.(0.89)^{29} = 0.2041

P(X = 5) = C_{33,5}.(0.11)^{5}.(0.89)^{28} = 0.1463

P(X < 6) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) = 0.0214 + 0.0872 + 0.1724 + 0.2202 + 0.2041 + 0.1463 = 0.8516

0.8516 = 85.16% probability that fewer than 6 are Independent.

C. What is the probability that more than 2 people are Independent?

This is:

P(X \geq 2) = 1 - P(X < 2)

In which

P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)

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

P(X = 0) = C_{33,0}.(0.11)^{0}.(0.89)^{33} = 0.0214

P(X = 1) = C_{33,1}.(0.11)^{1}.(0.89)^{32} = 0.0872

P(X < 2) = 0.0214 + 0.0872 = 0.1086

P(X \geq 2) = 1 - P(X < 2) = 1 - 0.1086 = 0.8914

0.8914 = 89.14% probability that more than 2 people are Independent.

the area of a circle is 96 square inches. What is the area of a circlewhose diameter is 1.5 times the diameter of the circle?
mars1129 [50]
The area of a circle A equals either:
πr² or πd²/4

96 = πd²/4 => d = 11 inches

The diameter of the second circle equals :
11*1.5 = 16.5 inches

The area equals: π(16.5)²/4 = 214 square inches

Robert drew a parallelogram with 2 55 degree angles. What are the measures of the 2 other angles? Both of the angles have to be
Licemer1 [7]
Angles in a parallelogram have to equal 360.

Let x represent the measurement of the unknown angle.

2(55) + 2x = 360
110 + 2x = 360
2x = 250
x = 125

125 degrees

Answer:

i think b

Step-by-step explanation:

(2,2). When x of the line is 2, y of the line must be 2.

(-2,-2). When x of the line is -2, y of the line must be -2.

(2,2). y=mx+b or 2=1 × 2+b, or solving for b: b=2-(1)(2). b=0.

(-2,-2). y=mx+b or -2=1 × -2+b, or solving for b: b=-2-(1)(-2). b=0.

The equation of the line that passes through the points

(2,2) and (-2,-2)

is

y=1x

b came out to be zero, so there is no "+b" term.

Which best describes the transformation from the graph of f(x)2 to the graph of f(x)=(x-3)2-1
____ [38]
The giving functions are from dofferent types. transforming a function does not change it's type so it is impossible to transfer f(x)=2 to f(x)=(x-3)^2-1.
