Using the binomial distribution, supposing that 0.3 of the callers have to wait more than 8 minutes to have their calls answered, it is found that there is a 0.3828 = 38.28% probability that at most 2 of the next 10 callers will have to wait more than 8 minutes to have their calls answered.

For each caller, there are only two possible outcomes, either they have to wait more than 8 minutes to have their calls answered, or they do not. The probability of a caller having to wait more than 8 minutes is independent of any other caller, which means that the binomial distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

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

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

The parameters are:

  • x is the number of successes.
  • n is the number of trials.
  • p is the probability of a success on a single trial.

In this problem:

  • 10 callers, hence n = 10
  • Suppose that 0.3 of them have to wait more than 8 minutes, hence p = 0.3

The probability that <u>at most 2</u> of the next 10 callers will have to wait more than 8 minutes is:

P(X \leq 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2)

Then

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

P(X = 0) = C_{10,0}.(0.3)^{0}.(0.7)^{10} = 0.0282

P(X = 1) = C_{10,1}.(0.3)^{1}.(0.7)^{9} = 0.1211

P(X = 2) = C_{10,2}.(0.3)^{2}.(0.7)^{8} = 0.2335

Then:

P(X \leq 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) = 0.0282 + 0.1211 + 0.2335 = 0.3828

0.3828 = 38.28% probability that at most 2 of the next 10 callers will have to wait more than 8 minutes to have their calls answered.

alexgriva [62]

Answer:

the recommended number of caories for a 11 year old male = 220.

Step-by-step explanation:

it is given that frank consumes 660 calories during breakfast.

660 calories is the 30 percent of recommended calories for a day.

let the number of calories required for a day be x.

therefore 30 percent of x = 660

therefore \frac{30}{100}×x = 660

30x= 660×100

x=660×\frac{100}{30}

x= \frac{10}{3}×660

x= 2200

solving the equation we get x= 2200

there the recommended number of caories for a 11 year old male = 220.
