Answer:

(gxf)(1) = - 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let f(x) = -4x + 7 and g(x) = 2x - 6.

(gxf)(1) = g(1)xf(1)

but : f(1) = -4(1)+7 =7-4 = 3 and g(1)=2(1)-6 =2-6 = -4

so : (gxf)(1) = g(1)xf(1) = (-4)(3)=-12

34% of college students say they use credit cards because of the rewards program. You randomly select 10 college students and a

finlep [7]

Answer:

a) There is a 18.73% probability that exactly two students use credit cards because of the rewards program.

b) There is a 71.62% probability that more than two students use credit cards because of the rewards program.

c) There is a 82% probability that between two and five students, inclusive, use credit cards because of the rewards program.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are only two possible outcomes. Either the student use credit cards because of the rewards program, or they use for other reason. So, we can solve this problem by the binomial distribution.

Binomial probability

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.\pi^{x}.(1-\pi)^{n-x}$

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 $\pi$ is the probability of X happening.

In this problem, we have that:

10 student are sampled, so $n = 10$

34% of college students say they use credit cards because of the rewards program, so $\pi = 0.34$

(a) exactly two

This is P(X = 2).

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.\pi^{x}.(1-\pi)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 2) = C_{10,2}.(0.34)^{2}.(0.66)^{8} = 0.1873$

There is a 18.73% probability that exactly two students use credit cards because of the rewards program.

(b) more than two

This is $P(X > 2)$ .

Either a value is larger than two, or it is smaller of equal. The sum of the decimal probabilities must be 1. So:

$P(X \leq 2) + P(X > 2) = 1$

$P(X > 2) = 1 - P(X \leq 2)$

In which

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

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.\pi^{x}.(1-\pi)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{10,0}.(0.34)^{0}.(0.66)^{10} = 0.0157$

$P(X = 1) = C_{10,1}.(0.34)^{1}.(0.66)^{9} = 0.0808$

$P(X = 2) = C_{10,2}.(0.34)^{2}.(0.66)^{8} = 0.1873$

$P(X \leq 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) = 0.0157 + 0.0808 + 0.1873 = 0.2838$

$P(X > 2) = 1 - P(X \leq 2) = 1 - 0.2838 = 0.7162$

There is a 71.62% probability that more than two students use credit cards because of the rewards program.

(c) between two and five inclusive

This is:

$P = P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5)$

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.\pi^{x}.(1-\pi)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 2) = C_{10,2}.(0.34)^{2}.(0.66)^{8} = 0.1873$

$P(X = 3) = C_{10,3}.(0.34)^{3}.(0.66)^{7} = 0.2573$

$P(X = 4) = C_{10,4}.(0.34)^{4}.(0.66)^{6} = 0.2320$

$P(X = 5) = C_{10,5}.(0.34)^{5}.(0.66)^{5} = 0.1434$

$P = P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) = 0.1873 + 0.2573 + 0.2320 + 0.1434 = 0.82$

There is a 82% probability that between two and five students, inclusive, use credit cards because of the rewards program.

mash [69]

For 121212 guests we need 555 liters,for 363636 guests how many liters

Guests Soda
121212 555
363636 x

So 121212*x=363636*555
x=363636*555/121212
x=555*3

Please help me with this please and thank you

rjkz [21]

Answer:

Alright so the answer is B but I'll explain why because im nice ig.

Step-by-step explanation:

So lets do some calcumalations.

We'll use 1 as n and should get an output of 3 to check these formulas. Since 1 is the first term and 3 is the first term value makes sense alright.

So 9^1-1 is 0 and any number to the 0 power is 1 so that wont work.

3(4)^1-1 = 3(1); that's the answer

4^1-1 = 1, + 3 = 4 so that wont work either

I hope this helps ya have a great afternoon
