Find the indicated probability. Round to the nearest thousandth. A study conducted at a certain college shows that 55% of the school's graduates find a job in their chosen field within a year after graduation. Find
the probability that among 7 randomly selected graduates, at least one finds a job in his or her chosen field within a year of graduating.
0.985
0.996
0.550
0.143

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Proportion = 55%

Required

Probability that at least one out of 7 selected finds a job

Let the proportion of students that finds job be represented with p

Convert to decimal

Let the proportion of students that do not find job be represented with q

Such that;

Make q the subject of formula

In probability; opposite probabilities add up to 1;

In this case;

Probability of none getting a job + Probability of at least 1 getting a job = 1

Represent Probability of none getting a job with P(none)

Represent Probability of at least 1 getting a job with P(At least 1)

So;

Solving for the probability of none getting a job using binomial expansion

Where and n = 7; i.e. total number of graduates

For none to get a job, means 0 graduate got a job;

So, we set r to 0 (r = 0)

The probability becomes

Substitute 7 for n

Substitute and

Recall that

Substitute

Make P(At least 1) the subject of formula

(Approximated)

answer: a. 13/44

step-by-step explanation: judging by the information given to us, we are looking for experimental probability. we can see that 13 males have chosen chocolate ice cream. there are 44 ice creams in total (remember that the total is always the denominator). so our answer is 13/44.

ratios represent a pattern or relationship that can be scaled.

equivalent ratios are pairs of ratios that represent the same relationship between quantities, and can be generated by multiplying or dividing both quantities in the ratio by the same factor.

in this lesson, students will use double number lines and ratio reasoning to solve ratio problems. by partitioning double number lines into proportionate intervals, students will build an understanding of equivalent ratio relationships as those that are generated by multiplying or dividing two related quantities by the same number. this lesson will build upon students' prior understanding of multiplicative comparisons, number line reasoning and equivalent fractions (while highlighting the difference between equivalent fractions and equivalent ratios); and will build toward future work in this unit on building ratio tables, and work in future grades in proportionality, scaling, and expressing and graphing linear functions.
