Aparticular telephone number is used to receive both voice calls and fax messages. suppose that 20% of the incoming calls involve fax messages, and consider a sample of 20 incoming calls. (round your answers to three decimal places.) (a) what is the probability that at most 7 of the calls involve a fax message?

Solution:

Total no. of incoming calls, n = 20

Probability of incoming calls with fax messages, p = 20% = 0.20

q = (1 - p) = 0.80

(a) Now, let 'r' be the no. of incoming calls with fax messages, then by Binomial distribution of probability mass function:

P(X = r) =                (1)

P(X ≤ 7) =

P(X ≤ 7) = 0.0115 +........+ 0.0545

Total no. of incoming calls, n = 20

Probability of incoming calls with fax messages, p = 20% = 0.20

q = (1 - p) = 0.80

(a) Now, let 'r' be the no. of incoming calls with fax messages, then by Binomial distribution of probability mass function:

P(X = r) =                (1)

P(X ≤ 7) =

P(X ≤ 7) = 0.0115 + 0.0545

P(X ≤ 7) = 0.9689

probability that atmost 7 of the calls are with fax is 0.9689

when reagan refers to freedom in this passage, he uses repetition as a rhetorical device. repetition is when the same words or phrases are repeated few times to make an idea stronger and more unforgettable. in this case, when he talks about freedom, he starts the sentence whit this word followed by a verb in present simple and after an advantage of being free.

explanation:

c) eager anticipation.
