0.8759 is the probability that no less than 4 of the entry forms will include an order.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information:

We treat subscription order with an entry form as a success.

P(subscription order with an entry form) = 0.4

Then the number subscription order with an entry form follows a binomial distribution, where

$P(X=x) = \binom{n}{x}.p^x.(1-p)^{n-x}$

where n is the total number of observations, x is the number of success, p is the probability of success.

Now, we are given n = 14

We have to evaluate:

$P(x \geq 4) =1 - P(x = 0) - P(x = 1) - P(x = 2) - P(x = 3) \\= 1 - (\binom{14}{0}(0.4)^0(1-0.4)^{14} + \binom{14}{1}(0.4)^1(1-0.4)^{13} + \binom{14}{2}(0.4)^2(1-0.4)^{12} + \binom{14}{3}(0.4)^3(1-0.4)^{11})\\=1-(0.0007+0.0074+0.0317+0.0846)\\= 0.8756$

0.8759 is the probability that no less than 4 of the entry forms will include an order.

Answer from: Quest

starting with:

5 + x - 12 = 2x - 7

5 + x - 12 - x = 2x - 7 - x (subtract x from both sides)

5 - 12 = x - 7 (combine and cancel x's from both sides)

5 - 12 + 7 = x - 7 + 7 (add 7 to both sides)

0 = x (add numbers together on both sides)

so in order for the equation to be true, x must be 0.

trying x = -0.5

5 + x - 12 = 2x - 7 (original equation)

5 + -0.5 - 12 = 2(-0.5) - 7 (plug in value of x)

5 + -0.5 - 12 = -1 - 7 (did multiplication)

-7.5 = -8 (did addition on both sides)

since -7.5 is obviously not equal to -8, the value of -0.5 for x is wrong.

trying x = 0

5 + x - 12 = 2x - 7 (original equation)

5 + 0 - 12 = 2(0) - 7 (plug in value of x)

5 + 0 - 12 = 0 - 7 (did multiplication)

-7 = -7 (did addition on both sides)

since -7 equals -7, that demonstrates that the value of 0 for x is correct.

trying x = 1

5 + x - 12 = 2x - 7 (original equation)

5 + 1 - 12 = 2(1) - 7 (plug in value of x)

5 + 1 - 12 = 2 - 7 (did multiplication)

-6 = -5 (did addition on both sides)

since -6 is obviously not equal to -5, the value of 1 for x is wrong.
