n a certain congressional district, it is known that 60% of the registered voters classify themselves as conservatives. If ten registered voters are selected at random from this district, what is the probability that four of them will be conservatives

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be a random variable representing the number of registered voters in the congressional district. This is a binomial distribution since the outcomes are two ways. It is either a randomly selected registered voter is a conservative or not. The success would be that a randomly selected voter is a conservative. The probability of success, p = 60/100 = 0.6

The probability of failure, q would be 1 - p = 1 - 0.6 = 0.4

Given n = 10, we want to determine P(x = 4)

From the binomial distribution calculator,

P(x = 4) = 0.11

b: |12 – x| ≤ 0.25

step-by-step explanation:      

let x be the possible lengths in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

we have been given that jaime is cutting strips of ribbon for a project. he tries to cut each piece to be 12 inches long, but sometimes he cuts it too long or too short by as much as 0.25 inch.  

we can represent this information in an inequality as:

by the definition of absolute value function we will get,

upon combining our inequalities we will get,

therefore, the inequality   describes all the possible lengths (x), in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

step-by-step explanation:

1 number

if we use a graphing calculator, there is only one such number that satisfies the conclusion of the mean value theorem, that is, a number such that

where the right-hand side is the average rate of change of f on the interval [0.5,0.75], which is the slope of the secant line.

in the attached graph, the black line is the secant line which has its slope as the average rate of change of f on [0.5,0.75], while the orange line is the only tangent line to the graph of f in the interval that satisfies the mvt conclusion.
