Answer: Around 96 people would prefer creamy peanut butter.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the survey was found that 4 out of 5 preferred creamy over chunky peanut butter.

Then the relative frequency is:

4/5 = 0.8 prefer creamy peanut butter.

And we can assume that:

1/5 = 0.2 prefer chunky peanut butter.

We also could multiply these numbers by 100% to obtain the percentage forms:

0.8*100% = 80%

0.2*100% = 20%

Now, if there are 120 people in the grocery store, we can expect that the 80% will prefer creamy peanut butter.

Then we can expect that the number of people that prefers creamy peanut butter is:

N = (80%/100%)*120 = 0.8*120 = 96

Around 96 people would prefer creamy peanut butter.

strojnjashka [21]

Answer:0.9991

Step-by-step explanation:

The Poisson distribution probability formula is given by :-

P(X=x)=\dfrac{e^{-\lambda}\lambda^x}{x!}, where \lambda is the mean of the distribution and x is the number of success

Given : \lambda=7

The probability that more than 1 student will have his automobile stolen during the current semester is given by :-

P(x\geq1)=1-P(x=0)=1-(\dfrac{e^{-7}7^0}{0!})\\\\=1-e^{-7}=0.99908811\approx0.9991

Hence, the  probability that more than 1 student will have his automobile stolen during the current semester =0.9991

What is the measure of angle A in the triangle?<br> Enter your answer in the box.<br> mZA=
stepladder [879]

Answer:

50

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the angles of a triangle add to 180 degrees

A + B + C = 180

2x-10 + 70+ x+30 = 180

Combine like terms

3x +90 = 180

Subtract 90 from each side

3x+90-90=180-90

3x= 90

Divide by 3

3x/3= 90/3

x=30

We want to find angle A

A = 2x-10

   =2*30 -10

  =60-10

  50
