Response:  I should request 150¢ for the bunch of bananas.  

Step-by-step explanation:  As an employee at a fruit market where bananas are priced at 50¢ a pound.

A customer presents me a bunch of bananas weighing 3 pounds.

We must determine the cost that should be charged for the bunch of bananas.

For this problem, we’ll apply the UNITARY method.

It’s also relevant that

100 ¢ = $1.

The price for one pound of bananas amounts to  50¢

Thus, the cost for 3 pounds of bananas can be determined by

p = (50 × 3)¢ = 150¢ = $1.50.

Hence, I should demand 150¢ for the bunch of bananas.

Complete Question

The complete question appears in the first uploaded image

Answer:

a) Yes, selecting 15 corresponds to a binomial experiment

b)

c)

d) P(r = 15) = 3.2768 *10^{-11}

Step-by-step explanation:

Regarding question a:

For an experiment to qualify as binomial

the trials have to be independent

each trial must yield one of two possible outcomes

Given that the selection of 15 individuals is random, we ascertain that the trials are independent and the outcomes are “either the individual saves for retirement or does not save for retirement.”

Therefore, we conclude that the selection of 15 people at random is indeed a binomial experiment.

In question b:

The probability that all selected adults do not save for retirement is mathematically modeled as

P(r = n) = ^nC_r * p^r * q^{n-r}

Here C signifies combination

r = 15 implies all selected adults

n refers to the population size equating to 15

From the problem, p = 0.20

and q can be calculated as

=>

=> q = 1 - p

Thus

P(r = 15) = ^{15}C_{15} * p^{15} * q^{15-15}

P(r = 15) = 3.2768 *10^{-11} Regarding question c:

The probability that exactly five of the selected adults do not save for retirement is mathematically modeled as

P(r = 5) = ^{15} C_5 * (0.20)^5 * (0.80)^{15}

P(r = 5) = 0.1032

In relation to question d:

The probability that at least one of the selected adults opts not to save for retirement can be mathematically expressed as

P(r \ge 1 ) = 1 - P (r = 0 )

P(r \ge 1 ) = 1 - [ ^{15} C _ 0 * (0.20)^{0} * (0.80 )^{15}]

P(r \ge 1 ) = 1 - 0.0352

P(r \ge 1 ) = 0.9648

A cooler has 12 apple juices and 15 grape juices. 9 of the apple juices are sugar free and 5 of the grape juices are sugar free.
AnnZ [11980]
The total number of juices equals 27, with the probabilities for each type being as follows: apple juice = 12/27, grape juice = 15/27, sugar-free = 14/27, and not sugar-free = 13/27. Since it has already been established that the chosen juice is not sugar-free, we do not need to factor that probability into our calculations. Of the apple juices, 9 are sugar-free, leaving 3 that are not, and for the grape juices, 5 are sugar-free, resulting in 10 that are not. Consequently, among 13 juices that are not sugar-free, 10 are grape juice, so the likelihood of selecting a non-sugar-free grape juice is 10/13. Therefore, the answer is A). Sorry if my explanation was lengthy; I tend to elaborate.
