Are your finances, buying habits, medical records, and phone calls really private? A real concern for many adults is that comput

ers and the Internet are reducing privacy. A survey conducted by Peter D. Hart Research Associates for the Shell Poll was reported in USA Today. According to the survey, 53% of adults are concerned that employers are monitoring phone calls. Use the binomial distribution formula to calculate the probability of the following. (a) Out of four adults, none is concerned that employers are monitoring phone calls. (Round your answer to three decimal places.) (b) Out of four adults, all are concerned that employers are monitoring phone calls. (Round your answer to three decimal places.) (c) Out of four adults, exactly two are concerned that employers are monitoring phone calls. (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

Answer:

a)There is a 4.88% probability that none is concerned that employers are monitoring phone calls.

b)There is a 7.89% probability that all are concerned that employers are monitoring phone calls.

c)There is a 37.23% probability that exactly two are concerned that employers are monitoring phone calls.

Step-by-step explanation:

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials in an experiment which has two possible outcomes (commonly called a binomial experiment).

It is given by the following formula:

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

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinatios 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 a success.

In this problem, a success is being concerned that employers are monitoring phone calls.

53% of adults are concerned that employers are monitoring phone calls, so p = 0.53

(a) Out of four adults, none is concerned that employers are monitoring phone calls.

Four adults, so n = 4.

Is the probability of 0 successes, so x = 0.

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

P = C_{4,0}.(0.53)^{0}.(0.47)^{4}

P = 0.0488

There is a 4.88% probability that none is concerned that employers are monitoring phone calls.

(b) Out of four adults, all are concerned that employers are monitoring phone calls.

Four adults, so n = 4.

Is the probability of 4 successes, so x = 4.

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

P = C_{4,0}.(0.53)^{4}.(0.47)^{0}

P = 0.0789

There is a 7.89% probability that all are concerned that employers are monitoring phone calls.

(c) Out of four adults, exactly two are concerned that employers are monitoring phone calls.

Four adults, so n = 4.

Is the probability of 4 successes, so x = 2.

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

P = C_{4,2}.(0.53)^{2}.(0.47)^{2}

P = 0.3723

There is a 37.23% probability that exactly two are concerned that employers are monitoring phone calls.

Use reciprocal to find 1/7p=3
nordsb [41]
1/7p = 3
Multiple both sides by 7

7 x 1/7p = 7 x 3
Then cross multiply

P= 21

We can use Copy Dot Flip to solve.

~Copy

3/4 ÷ 3/8

~Dot

3/4 · 3/8

~Flip

3/4 · 8/3

~Multiply both numerators and denominators.

3*8/4*3

~Simplify

24/12

~Simplify

2

The quotient is 2

Best of Luck!

Find the polynomial function in standard form that has the zeros listed. i and -i
fgiga [73]

The polynomial function in standard form that has the zeros listed. i and -i is  x² +1 = 0.

<h3>What is polynomial function?</h3>

A quadratic, cubic, quartic, and other functions involving only non-negative integer powers of x are examples of polynomial functions.

The values of x that fulfil the formula f(x) = 0 are the zeros of a polynomial. The polynomial's zeros are the x values for which the function's value, f(x), equals zero in this case. The degree of the equation f(x) = 0 determines how many zeros a polynomial has.

Calculation for the polynomial function-

The general two degree/quadratic equation is given by-

ax² + bx + c = 0

Where a ≠ 0

If the two roots of the equation are x1 and x2.

Then the relation between roots and coefficients of the polynomial are -

  • The sum of the roots = (- coefficient of x)/(coefficient of x²)

         x1 + x2 = (-b)/a

  • The multiplication of the roots = constant/coefficient of x²

        x1.x2 = c/a

From the above two relation the general equation can be written as-

x² -(x1 - x2)x + x1.x2 = 0

Lets say x1 = i and x2 = -i

Substitute the values of x1 and x2 in the general equation

x² -(i - i)x + (i).(-i) = 0

x² - i ² = 0

x² + 1 = 0

Therefore, the polynomial function in standard form that has the zeros listed. i and -i is x² + 1 = 0.
