In Quebec, 90 percent of the population subscribes to the Roman Catholic religion. In a random sample of eight Quebecois, find the probability that the sample contains at least five Roman Catholics.

Probability that the sample contains at least five Roman Catholics = 0.995 .

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that In Quebec, 90 percent of the population subscribes to the Roman Catholic religion.

The Binomial distribution probability is given by;

 P(X = r) = for x = 0,1,2,3,.......

Here, n = number of trials which is 8 in our case

         r = no. of success which is at least 5 in our case

         p = probability of success which is probability of Roman Catholic of

                 0.90 in our case

So, P(X >= 5) = P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) + P(X = 7) + P(X = 8)

=

= 56 * + 28 * + 8 * + 1 *

= 0.995

Therefore, probability that the sample contains at least five Roman Catholics is 0.995.

- "runner b is moving at a slower rate."

- "the graphs shown are graphs of distance(km) against time(min).

the slopes of this graphs are are given by:

slope = (change in y)/(change in x)

= (change in distance)/(change in time)

this is the formula for finding the speed. so, the slope of these graphs represent the speed of the runner.

taking each division in the graph to represent 1 on both axis:

runner a ⇒ speed = (2-0)/(1-0)

= 2/1

= 2 km/min

runner b ⇒ speed = (3-0)/(3-0)

= 3/3

= 1 km/min

this shows that   runner b is moving at a slower rate."
