Answer:

The probability that 6 or more women would be laid off is P=0.08.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case, we have a group of people and a proportion of women and men. We can think of the people laid off as a random sample taken from the population (all employees of the department).

The right model to represent that is with a binomial distribution. In this case, the sample size is n=8 and the probability of picking a woman is p=0.44.

According to this model, the probability that 6 or more women, out of 8 persons, would be laid off is:

Step-by-step explanation:

so, you don't know what a division is for ?

it is to ask things like "how often does one number fit into another number", or "how big will each piece be, if I split something into a certain number of equally sized pieces ?".

this is what we need here.

8 pizzas for $131.36. and each pizza costs the same. you see how that connects to what I just described above ?

to find how much each pizza cost, we need to divide the total price by 8, to find the size (= here the price) of each of the equally big parts of the total price.

131.36 / 8 = $16.42
