Answer:

Taylor is incorrect.

Step-by-step explanation:

As you can see, Taylor failed to add 1 to her equation. This ruins the whole first step. She also used 72 instead of 73 for the answer. Taylor is incorrect.

A study is being conducted in which the health of two independent groups of ten policyholders is being monitored over a one-year

uysha [10]

Answer:

46.91% probability that at least nine participants complete the study in one of the two groups, but not in both groups

Step-by-step explanation:

We use two binomial trials 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.

Probability of at least nine participants finishing the study in a group.

0.2 probability of a students dropping out. So 1 - 0.2 = 0.8 probability of a student finishing the study. This means that $p = 0.8$ .

10 students, so $n = 10$

We have to find:

$P(X \geq 9) = P(X = 9) + P(X = 10)$

Then

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

$P(X = 9) = C_{10,9}.(0.8)^{9}.(0.2)^{1} = 0.2684$

$P(X = 10) = C_{10,10}.(0.8)^{10}.(0.2)^{0} = 0.1074$

$P(X \geq 9) = P(X = 9) + P(X = 10) = 0.2684 + 0.1074 = 0.3758$

0.3758 probability that at least nine participants complete the study in a group.

Calculate the probability that at least nine participants complete the study in one of the two groups, but not in both groups?

0.3758 probability that at least nine participants complete the study in a group. This means that $p = 0.3758$

Two groups, so $n = 2$

We have to find P(X = 1).

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

$P(X = 2) = C_{2,1}.(0.3758)^{1}.(0.6242)^{1} = 0.4691$

46.91% probability that at least nine participants complete the study in one of the two groups, but not in both groups

An entrepreneur estimates that the total profit (profit = total revenue minus total cost) from his proposed company will be give

SOVA2 [1]

No profit means P(x)=0: x³-4x²+3x-12=0
factor by regrouping: x²(x-4)+3(x-4)=0
take out (x-4): (x-4)(x²+3)=0
x=4 or x²=-3
x² is not a negative number, so x=4 is the only answer.

xeze [42]

Answer:

D. $x-\frac{5}{2}y = \frac{25}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$y = \frac{2}{5}x - 5$

Required

Determine its equivalent

<em>From the list of given options, the correct answer is</em>

$x - \frac{5}{2}y = \frac{25}{2}$

This is shown as follows;

$y = \frac{2}{5}x - 5$

Multiply both sides by $\frac{5}{2}$

$\frac{5}{2} * y = \frac{5}{2} * (\frac{2}{5}x - 5)$

Open Bracket

$\frac{5}{2} * y = \frac{5}{2} * \frac{2}{5}x - \frac{5}{2} *5$

$\frac{5}{2}y = x - \frac{25}{2}$

Subtract x from both sides

$\frac{5}{2}y - x = x -x - \frac{25}{2}$

$\frac{5}{2}y - x = - \frac{25}{2}$

Multiply both sides by -1

$-1 * \frac{5}{2}y - x * -1 = - \frac{25}{2} * -1$

$-\frac{5}{2}y + x = \frac{25}{2}$

Reorder

$x-\frac{5}{2}y = \frac{25}{2}$

<em>Hence, the correct option is D</em>

$x-\frac{5}{2}y = \frac{25}{2}$
