David's gasoline station offers 4 cents off per gallon if the customer pays in cash. Past evidence indicates that 40% of all customers pay in cash. During a one-hour period, 15 customers buy gasoline at this station. What is the probability that more than 8 and less than 12 customers pay in cash?

The probability that more than 8 and less than 12 customers pay in cash is 0.0931.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X = a customer at David's gasoline station pay in cash.

The probability of a customer paying in cash is, P (X) = p = 0.40

The number of customers at the gasoline station during a 1-hour period is,

n = 15.

Then the random variable X follows a binomial distribution, Bin (15, 0.40).

The probability function for a Binomial distribution is:

Compute the probability that more than 8 and less than 12 customers pay in cash as follows:

Thus, the probability that more than 8 and less than 12 customers pay in cash is 0.0931.

step-by-step explanation:

solution:

the given function is ,

      =

the three roots of this quadratic function is , 0 ,8 and 10.all the roots are real and rational.

if a quadratic equation is of the form ,

sum of the roots = a + b +c= 0+8+10=18=  

product of roots taken two at a time = a b + b c+ c a = 0+80+0=80 =  

product of roots = a b c = 0=  

there are 11 doors in a hall starting from 0 to 11.the entry in the hall is permitted through gate number 0 and exit is allowed through only gate number 8 and 10.so, three roots(0,8,10) of quadratic function is given by entry and exit route of this hall.
