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.

A bathtub contains 12 gallons of water. With these 12 gallons, the bathtub is only 30% full. How many gallons of water can the b
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

40 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of gallons that would completely fill the bathtub be represented by N.

Since 12 gallons of water gives 30% of the number of gallons to fill the bathtub, then;

30% of N = 12

\frac{30}{100} x N = 12

30N = 12 x 100

30N = 1200

divide both sides by 30,

N = \frac{1200}{30}

   = 40

The number of gallons that would completely fill the bathtub is 40 gallons.

If EF = 2x-7, FG = 4x-20, and EG = 21, find the values of x, EF, and FG.
Serggg [28]

Given -:

EF = 2X-7

FG = 4X-20

EG = 21

FIND OUT

EF =?

FG = ?

To proof

as given in the question

we have the value of EF = 2X-7 , FG = 4X-20 and EG = 21

Thus we have

EG = EF + FG

21 = 2X-7 + 4X- 20

21 = 6x - 27

48 = 6x

x = 8

Hence proved

Now put this value

EF = 2\times 8 - 7\\EF = 9

Now

FG = 4\times 8 - 20\\FG = 12

Hence proved
