In a survey of 300 college graduates, 53% reported that they entered a profession closely related to their college major. If 9 o

Answer:

0.1348 = 13.48% probability that 3 of them entered a profession closely related to their college major.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each graduate, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they entered a profession closely related to their college major, or they did not. The probability of a graduate entering a profession closely related to their college major is independent of other graduates. This, coupled with the fact that they are chosen with replacement, 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.

53% reported that they entered a profession closely related to their college major.

This means that p = 0.53

9 of those survey subjects are randomly selected

This means that n = 9

What is the probability that 3 of them entered a profession closely related to their college major?

This is P(X = 3).

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

P(X = 9) = C_{9,3}.(0.53)^{3}.(0.47)^{6} = 0.1348

0.1348 = 13.48% probability that 3 of them entered a profession closely related to their college major.

Answer:

You would click at (0,-7)

Step-by-step explanation:

Definition of the minimum point:

"The minimum value of a function is the place where the graph has a vertex at its lowest point. In the real world, you can use the minimum value of a quadratic function to determine minimum cost or area."

Although this is not a quadratic, it still has a minimum point.

The minimum point here would be at it's lowest point

The minimum/lowest point is (0,-7)

How do you solve thus ? 8=8v-4(v+8)
Harrizon [31]
8 = 8v - 4 (v + 8)

Distribute the 4 through the parentheses

8 = 8v - 4v - 32

combine like terms

8 = 4v - 32

add 32 to both sides

8 + 32 = 4v -32 + 32

combine like terms

40 = 4v

divide each side by 4

40/10 = v

4 = v

v= 4
