Using the place value chart, we can see that the decimal 0.4 is four tenths, so we can write 0.4 as the fraction $\frac{4}{10}$ . Notice however that the fraction is not in lowest terms. We will need to divide the numerator and the denominator by the greatest common factor of 4 and 10 which is 2. Therefore, 0.4 can be written as the fraction $\frac{2}{5}$ , which is in lowest terms.

Answer:

A.The probability that exactly six of Nate's dates are women who prefer surgeons is 0.183.

B. The probability that at least 10 of Nate's dates are women who prefer surgeons is 0.0713.

C. The expected value of X is 6.75, and the standard deviation of X is 2.17.

Step-by-step explanation:

The appropiate distribution to us in this model is the binomial distribution, as there is a sample size of n=25 "trials" with probability p=0.25 of success.

With these parameters, the probability that exactly k dates are women who prefer surgeons can be calculated as:

$P(x=k) = \dbinom{n}{k} p^{k}(1-p)^{n-k}\\\\\\P(x=k) = \dbinom{25}{k} 0.25^{k} 0.75^{25-k}\\\\\\$

A. P(x=6)

$P(x=6) = \dbinom{25}{6} p^{6}(1-p)^{19}=177100*0.00024*0.00423=0.183\\\\\\$

B. P(x≥10)

$P(x\geq10)=1-P(x$

$P(x=0) = \dbinom{25}{0} p^{0}(1-p)^{25}=1*1*0.0008=0.0008\\\\\\P(x=1) = \dbinom{25}{1} p^{1}(1-p)^{24}=25*0.25*0.001=0.0063\\\\\\P(x=2) = \dbinom{25}{2} p^{2}(1-p)^{23}=300*0.0625*0.0013=0.0251\\\\\\P(x=3) = \dbinom{25}{3} p^{3}(1-p)^{22}=2300*0.0156*0.0018=0.0641\\\\\\P(x=4) = \dbinom{25}{4} p^{4}(1-p)^{21}=12650*0.0039*0.0024=0.1175\\\\\\P(x=5) = \dbinom{25}{5} p^{5}(1-p)^{20}=53130*0.001*0.0032=0.1645\\\\\\P(x=6) = \dbinom{25}{6} p^{6}(1-p)^{19}=177100*0.0002*0.0042=0.1828\\\\\\$

$P(x=7) = \dbinom{25}{7} p^{7}(1-p)^{18}=480700*0.000061*0.005638=0.1654\\\\\\P(x=8) = \dbinom{25}{8} p^{8}(1-p)^{17}=1081575*0.000015*0.007517=0.1241\\\\\\P(x=9) = \dbinom{25}{9} p^{9}(1-p)^{16}=2042975*0.000004*0.010023=0.0781\\\\\\$
