Probability that exactly 5 of them favor the building of the health center is 0.0408.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that in a recent survey, 60% of the community favored building a health center in their neighborhood.

Also, 14 citizens are chosen.

The above situation can be represented through Binomial distribution;

$P(X=r) = \binom{n}{r}p^{r} (1-p)^{n-r} ; x = 0,1,2,3,.....$

where, n = number of trials (samples) taken = 14 citizens

r = number of success = exactly 5

p = probability of success which in our question is % of the community

favored building a health center in their neighborhood, i.e; 60%

LET X = Number of citizens who favored building of the health center.

So, it means X ~ Binom(n=14, p=0.60)

Now, Probability that exactly 5 of them favor the building of the health center is given by = P(X = 5)

P(X = 5) = $\binom{14}{5} \times 0.60^{5} \times (1-0.60)^{14-5}$

= $2002 \times 0.60^{5} \times 0.40^{9}$

= 0.0408

Therefore, Probability that exactly 5 of them favor the building of the health center is 0.0408.

No he does not because he can only cover 12 square feet from 15 square feet which he will still need 3 more. this is because if 3×5=15 square feet and 15-12=3 which thats the answer

the speed is $135$ miles per hour > is false

step-by-step explanation:

we know that

a relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form $y/x=k$ or $y=kx$

in a proportional relationship the constant of proportionality k is equal to the slope m of the line and the line passes through the origin

the graph shown in the figure represent a direct variation

the slope of the line represent the speed

$y/x=k$

for the point $(1.5,90)$

substitute the values of x and y

$k=90/1.5=60\ miles/hour$

the linear equation is equal to

$y=60x$

statements

case a) it takes $2$ hours to go $120$ miles

the statement is true

because

substitute

for $x=2$

find the value of y in the linear equation

$y=60(2)=120\ miles$ > is correct

case b) the speed is $135$ miles per hour

the statement is false

because the speed is $60\ miles/hour$

case c) the unit rate for the trip is $60\ miles/hour$

the statement is true

because the speed is equal to the slope of the linear equation

case d) it took $20$ minutes to go the first $20$ miles

the statement is true

because

substitute

for $x=20\ minutes=(1/3)\ hour$

find the value of y in the linear equation

$y=60(1/3)=20\ miles$ > is correct
