Eighty-five mall customers were randomly surveyed across the state to determine if the live entertainment provided had increased the amount of money they spent. can the probability be found by using the binomial probability formula?

Yes (under certain conditions)

Step-by-step explanation:

Binomial probability formula can be used if there are success and failure been discussed in the question.

The formula is given by

P(X=x) = \binom{n}{x}p^{x}q^{n-x}

where n= no. trials

p  = success

q= failure

x= point at which we need to find the probability

Here, 85 customers are surveyed, then n= 85

we will take, p= live entertainment had increased the amount of money they spent (success)

q = live entertainment had not increased the amount of money they spent (failure)

x should be defined, then only we can use binomial probability formula

Example, x= 10 customers said that the money they spent increased if the live entertainment provided.

linearly: 8560 bacteria

exponentially: approximately 75233 bacteria

step-by-step explanation:

assuming it is not exponential (we would have some really complicated logarithms), let's say it is linear. then, after 5 hours, it increased by 1200 bacteria, so every hour it increases by 240 bacteria. this means that after 19 hours, we get 19 * 240 + 4000 bacteria or 3800 + 760 + 4000 = 7800 + 760 = 8560 bacteria.

because it says round your answer, i will do this exponentially (with a calculator, of course). first, we need to find how much it multiplies by every hour, by taking the 5th root of 52/40 or 13/10. this is approximately 0.167. we still need to add 1 to this, because we are multiplying by that number, not adding that amount of the number. now, we just calculate 4000 * (1.167)^19. use a calculator to get approximately 75232.6, or 75233.

answer: he is 272195

step-by-step explanation: all you have to do is multiple 3535 and 77 and it equals 272195
