A real estate agent has 17 properties that she shows. She feels that there is a 40% chance of selling any one property during a week. The chance of selling any one property is independent of selling another property. Compute the probability of selling less than 5 properties in one week. Round your answer to four decimal places.

0.126 = 12.6% probability of selling less than 5 properties in one week.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each property, there are only two possible outcomes. The chance of selling any one property is independent of selling another property. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

In which is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

And p is the probability of X happening.

A real estate agent has 17 properties that she shows.

This means that

She feels that there is a 40% chance of selling any one property during a week.

This means that

Compute the probability of selling less than 5 properties in one week.

In which

0.126 = 12.6% probability of selling less than 5 properties in one week.

δabc ≅ δdcb by sas because

db ≅ ac . . given (side)

bc ≅ bc . . reflexive property (side)

∠dbc ≅ ∠ acb . . alternate interior angles where transversal bc crosses parallel lines bd and ac (included angle)

d 25 pi/6

step-by-step explanation:

the diameter is 10 inches

the radius is 1/2 of the diameter or 5 inches

the area of the circle is

a = pi r^2

  = pi 5^2

  = 25 pi

the slice is 60 degrees of the entire circle.

60 degrees out of 360   60/360 = 1/6

the area of the slice is 1/6 of the circle

a slice = 1/6 a circle

a slice = 1/6 * 25 pi
