The proportion of adults who own a cell phone in a certain Canadian city is believed to be 65%. Forty adults are to be selected at random from the city. Let Xbe the number in the sample who own a cell phone. Under the assumptions given, the distribution of X is A. Bin(40,0.65)
B. N(26,14)
C. Bin(40,26)
D. N(40,14)

A. Bin(40,0.65)

Step-by-step explanation:

For each adult, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they have a cell phone, or they do not. The probability of an adult having a cell phone is independent of any other adult having a cell phone. This means that the binomial probability distribution is used 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.

In which is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

And p is the probability of X happening.

In function of its parameters, the distribution is written as: Bin(n,p).

The proportion of adults who own a cell phone in a certain Canadian city is believed to be 65%

This means that

Forty adults are to be selected at random from the city.

This means that .

Thus, we have Bin(40,0.65), and the correct answer is given by option A.

i am currently in the exact same situation rn. algebra2/adv algebra is killing

step-by-step explanation:

use an equation of ratios to determine the amount of gas needed to fill the tank.

    0.2             0.8

  =    

288.75             x

                                                              231 gal

so, 0.2x = (0.8)(288.75 gal), and x = = 1155 gal.

                                                                0.2

it would take 1155 gal. to fill the tank.

the cost would be

1155 gal         $3

* = $3465   (answer)

      1           1 gal

hope this you
