Answer:

a=55

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is asking for you to find the whole (a), given a part (11). This can be done through multiplication. 20% is 1/5 of 100%. This means to find the whole number, you should multiply the part by 5. 11*5=55. So, a must equal 55.

We can check this answer by working backward. Do this by finding 20% of 55, and checking to see if it is 11. To find a percentage of a number, multiply that number by the percent in decimal form. So, 20% of 55 is equal to 0.2*55, which is 11. Therefore, the answer is correct.

Answer: A=55

Step-by-step explanation: 20% of A is 11. 20% of 55 is 11. 55=a

All you do is divide 11 by .2 (11/.2)

The events A and B are independent events, and the values of P(A) and P(B) are 7/12 and 1/2, respectively

<h3>The value of P(A)</h3>

The event A is given as:

A : Sum greater than 6

In the sample space of a roll of two dice, there are 21 outcomes that are greater than 6, out of a total of 36 outcomes

This means that:

P(A) = 21/36

Simplify

P(A) = 7/12

<h3>The value of P(B)</h3>

The event B is given as:

B : Sum is divisible by 2

In the sample space of a roll of two dice, there are 18 outcomes that are divisible by 2, out of a total of 36 outcomes

This means that:

P(B) = 18/36

Simplify

P(B) = 1/2

Hence, the probability values of P(A) and P(B) are 7/12 and 1/2, respectively

Eight percent of all college graduates hired by companies stay with the same company for more than five years. The probability,
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

0.1662 = 16.62% probability that exactly 2 will stay with the same company for more than five years

Step-by-step explanation:

For each graduate, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they stay for the same company for more than five years, or they do not. Graduates are independent. This 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.

Eight percent of all college graduates hired by companies stay with the same company for more than five years.

This means that p = 0.08

Sample of 11 college graduates:

This means that n = 11

The probability, rounded to four decimal places, that in a random sample of 11 such college graduates hired recently by companies, exactly 2 will stay with the same company for more than five years is: the absolute tolerance is +-0.0001

The tolerance means that the answer is rounded to four decimal places.

The probability is P(X = 2). So

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

P(X = 2) = C_{11,2}.(0.08)^{2}.(0.92)^{11} = 0.1662

0.1662 = 16.62% probability that exactly 2 will stay with the same company for more than five years
