28% of US adults say they are more likely to make purchases during a sales tax holiday. You randomly select 10 adults. Find the probability that the number of adults who say they are more likely to make purchases during a sales tax holiday is​ (a) exactly​ two, (b) more than​ two, and​ (c) between two and​ five, inclusive.

Answer:

a

  [tex]P(X = 2) =  0.2547[/tex]  

b

  [tex]P(X > 2) =  0.5623 [/tex]  

c

   [tex]P(2 \le X  \le 5 ) = 0.7817 [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  proportion of US adults who say that they are likely to make purchase during a sale tax holiday is  

         [tex]p = 0.28[/tex]

  The  sample size is  n  =  10  

Generally the distribution of US adults who say that they are likely to make purchase during a sale tax holiday, follows a binomial distribution  

i.e  

         [tex]X  \~ \ \ \  B(n , p)[/tex]

and the probability distribution function for binomial  distribution is  

      [tex]P(X = x) =  ^{n}C_x *  p^x *  (1- p)^{n-x}[/tex]

Here C stands for combination hence we are going to be making use of the combination function in our calculators  

Generally the probability number of adult is exactly 2 is mathematically represented as

     [tex]P(X = 2) =  ^{10}C_2 *  (0.28)^2 *  (1- 0.28)^{10-2}[/tex]  

=>  [tex]P(X = 2) =  45 *  0.0784 * 0.0722[/tex]  

=>  [tex]P(X = 2) =  0.2547[/tex]  

Generally the probability number of adult is more than 2 is mathematically represented as

    [tex]P(X > 2) =  1- [P(X \le  2) ][/tex]  

    [tex]P(X > 2) =  1- [[P(X = 0)] +[P(X = 1) ] + [P(X = 2)] ][/tex]  

=>  [tex]P(X > 2) =  1- [^{10}C_0 *  (0.28)^0 *  (1- 0.28)^{10-0}] +[^{10}C_1 *  (0.28)^1 *  (1- 0.28)^{10-1}] + [^{10}C_2 *  0.28^2 *  (1- 0.28)^{10-2}] ][/tex]  

=>  [tex]P(X > 2) =  1- [0.0374 + 0.1456 + 0.2547 [/tex]  

=>  [tex]P(X > 2) =  0.5623 [/tex]  

Generally the probability number of adult is between two and​ five, inclusive is mathematically represented as

    [tex]P(2 \le X  \le 5 ) =  [P(X = 2 ) + P(X = 3 ) +P(X = 4) + P(X= 5 )] [/tex]

=>  [tex]P(2 \le X  \le 5 ) =  [[^{10}C_32 *  0.28^2 *  (1- 0.28)^{10-2}] + [^{10}C_3*  0.28^3 *  (1- 0.28)^{10-3}] +[^{10}C_4 *  0.28^4 *  (1- 0.82)^{10-4}] + [^{10}C_5 *  0.28^5 *  (1- 0.28)^{10-5}]] [/tex]

=>  [tex]P(2 \le X  \le 5 ) =  [[0.2547] + [120*  0.02195 *  0.1003] +[210 *  0.00615 *  0.1393] + [252 *  0.0017 *  0.1935]] [/tex]

=>  [tex]P(2 \le X  \le 5 ) =  [[0.2547] + [0.2642] +[0.1799] + [0.0829] [/tex]

=>  [tex]P(2 \le X  \le 5 ) = 0.7817 [/tex]

Builders and architects use scale models to help them design and build new buildings. An architecture
student builds a model of an office building in which the height of the model is times the height of
400
the actual building, while the width and length of the model are each times the corresponding
200
dimensions of the actual building. The model includes several triangles. Could a triangle in the model be
similar to a corresponding triangle in the actual building? Could a triangle in the model not be similar to a
triangle in the actual building? Complete the explanation.
A triangle that has vertices at one height only, meaning it is parallel to the ground, will have side lengths
1
that are each times the side lengths of the corresponding triangle in the actual building. The two
200
triangles are similar by the ? Triangle Similarity Theorem. A triangle that has vertices at several
heights will? have side lengths that form a constant ratio with the side lengths of the
corresponding triangle in the actual building. These triangles will ? be similar
