A candy company claims that 25% of the candies in its bags are colored green. Steve buys 32 bags of 32 candies, randomly selects one candy from each, and counts the number of green candies. If there are 7, 8, or 9 green candies, Steve will conclude that the company's claim is correct. What is the probability of Steve agreeing with the company's claim? Use Excel to find the probability.

45.88%

Step-by-step explanation:

We have in this case a binomial distribution when p = 0.25, since the probability is 25%

. The formula that we will use in excel is BINOM.DIST, separated by commas we must put the value of x, n, p and also if it is true or false. We know that n equals 32.

In this case we need to know when x = 7, 8 and 9 and add this, and thus we will obtain the probability:

P (X = 7) + P (X = 8) + P (X = 9)

Excel formulas: = BINOM.DIST (7,32,0.25, FALSE) + BINOM.DIST (8,32,0.25, FALSE) + BINOM.DIST (9,32,0.25, FALSE)

P = 0.1546 + 0.1610 + 0.1431

P = 0.4588

Probability that steve agrees with the company's claim 45.88%

step-by-step explanation:

12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 7 hours.

4: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 3 hours.

this means that from 4: 00 p.m to 7: 00 p.m. this represents 3/7 of what was lost from 12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m.

after knowing this, after doing 11,600 - 6,800 = 4,800

4,800 represents 3/7 of what was lost for 7 hours.

we then divide 4,800 by 3 which gets 1,600.

because we know that 1,600 represents 1/7 of how much water was lost, we just have to multiply by 7, which gets 11,200.   after adding 11,200 to how much water was left at 7: 00 p.m. which was 6,800. 11,200 + 6,800 = 18,000

this means that the pool originally had 18,000 gallons in the pool.

you can also check your work by doing 18,000 - 4(1600), which becomes           1800 - 6400 which gets you 11,600.
