Question

"Consider the following formula.

0.54 − pp(1 − p)n

Evaluate this expression using the given values. Round the
result to three decimal places.
p = 0.5, n = 38"

Answer 1

To evaluate the given expression, substitute the values of p and n and round the result to three decimal places.

Step-by-step explanation:

To evaluate the given expression: 0.54 - pp(1 - p)^n, we need to substitute the values of p and n and round the result to three decimal places.

Given p = 0.5 and n = 38:

Substituting these values, the expression becomes:

0.54 - 0.5 * 0.5(1 - 0.5)^38

Simplifying further, we have:

0.54 - 0.25 * 0.5(0.5)^38

Calculating the value inside the parentheses, we get:

0.54 - 0.25 * 0.5(0.5)^38 = 0.54 - 0.25 * 0.5(0.5)^38 = 0.54 - 0.25 * 0.5^38

Finally, evaluating the expression:

0.54 - 0.25 * 0.5^38 = 0.54 - 0.25 * 0.0000000000000008881784197 = 0.54 - 0.0000000000000002220446049 = 0.5399999999999997779553951.
