0.989

Step-by-step explanation:

For each graduate, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they find a job in their chosen field within a year after graduation, or they do not. The probability of a graduate finding a job is independent of other graduates. So 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.

A study conducted at a certain college shows that "53%" of the school's graduates find a job in their chosen field within a year after graduation.

This means that p = 0.53

6 randomly selected graduates

This means that n = 6

Probability that at least one finds a job in his or her chosen field within a year of graduating:

Either none find a job, or at least one does. The sum of the probabilities of these outcomes is 1. So

$P(X = 0) + P(X \geq 1) = 1$

We want $P(X \geq 1)$

$P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)$

In which

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

$P(X = 0) = C_{6,0}.(0.53)^{0}.(0.47)^{6} = 0.011$

$P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0) = 1 - 0.011 = 0.989$

Answer from: Quest

answer: a video game has three difficulty levels: easy, medium, and expert. the game's scoring works in such a way that a player has to score a fixed number of points to advance to the next level, and then the scoring starts over. the total score needed to clear all three difficulty levels is 7,500. two times the number of points needed to clear the easy level is 500 more than the number of points needed to clear the medium level. twice the number of points needed to clear the medium difficulty level is 1,500 more than the number of points needed to clear the expert level. if x, y, and z represent the easy, medium, and expert levels, respectively, and a is the coefficient matrix of the system of equations modeling this situation, identify the inverse matrix, a-1, and the solution matrix, x, of the system of equations.
