In a large population, 61% of the people are vaccinated, meaning there are 39% who are not. The problem asks for the probability that out of the 4 randomly selected people, at least one of them has been vaccinated. Therefore, we need to add all the possibilities that there could be one, two, three or four randomly selected persons who were vaccinated.
For only one person, we use P(1), same reasoning should hold for other subscripts.
P(1) = (61/100)(39/100)(39/100)(39/100) = 0.03618459
P(2) = (61/100)(61/100)(39/100)(39/100) = 0.05659641
P(3) = (61/100)(61/100)(61/100)(39/100) = 0.08852259
P(4) = (61/100)(61/100)(61/100)(61/100) = 0.13845841
Adding these probabilities, we have 0.319761. Therefore the probability of at least one person has been vaccinated out of 4 persons randomly selected is 0.32 or 32%, rounded off to the nearest hundredths.
If the exam is worth (only!) 15%, then the class average is worth (100-15)=85%.
The grade will then be 54*0.85+0*0.15= 45.9%
The letter grades (if any) will vary from school to school.
Y=x2-1 is not a linear equation only because for it to be an linear equation it would have to be 2x-1=y or y=2x-1
