Answer:

Percent of the total food cost: 85%

Cost of the food: $17

Step-by-step explanation:

If the drink is 15% of the bill, then the other 85% is the cost of the food.

85% of 20 is 17

Its asking which of the equations is the same as the first, but rewritten for it to equal t

p=St-st
p=t(S-s)
t=p/(S-s)
so the answer is C (or the third option since they are not lettered)

Answer:

a) $P(X=0)=(10C0) (0.15)^0 (1-0.15)^{10-0}= 0.1969$

b) $P(X=3)=(10C3) (0.15)^3 (1-0.15)^{10-3}= 0.1298$

c) $P(X \geq 1) = 1- P(X$

$P(X=0)=(10C0) (0.15)^0 (1-0.15)^{10-0}= 0.1969$

So then we have:

$P(X \geq 1) = 1- P(X$

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The binomial distribution is a "DISCRETE probability distribution that summarizes the probability that a value will take one of two independent values under a given set of parameters. The assumptions for the binomial distribution are that there is only one outcome for each trial, each trial has the same probability of success, and each trial is mutually exclusive, or independent of each other".

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable of interest, on this case we now that:

$X \sim Binom(n=10, p=0.15)$

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:

$P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}$

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:

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

Part a

For this case we want this probability:

$P(X=0)=(10C0) (0.15)^0 (1-0.15)^{10-0}= 0.1969$

Part b

For this case we want this probability:

$P(X=3)$

And using the probability mass function we got:

$P(X=3)=(10C3) (0.15)^3 (1-0.15)^{10-3}= 0.1298$

Part c

For this case we want this probability:

$P(X \geq 1)$

And we can use the complenet rule and we got:

$P(X \geq 1) = 1- P(X$

$P(X=0)=(10C0) (0.15)^0 (1-0.15)^{10-0}= 0.1969$

So then we have:

$P(X \geq 1) = 1- P(X$
