Using the binomial distribution, it is found that there is a 0.0555 = 5.55% probability that more than 3 of these selected children have three siblings.

<h3>What is the binomial distribution formula?</h3>

The formula is:

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

The parameters are:

  • x is the number of successes.
  • n is the number of trials.
  • p is the probability of a success on a single trial.

In this problem, for the parameters, we consider that:

  • 10% of the 9-year old children in a town have three siblings, hence p = 0.1.
  • Fifteen 9-year old children are selected at random, hence n = 15.

The probability that more than 3 of these selected children have three siblings is given by:

P(X > 3) = 1 - P(X \leq 3)

In which:

P(X \leq 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3)

Then:

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 0) = C_{15,0}.(0.1)^{0}.(0.9)^{15} = 0.2059

P(X = 1) = C_{15,1}.(0.1)^{1}.(0.9)^{14} = 0.3432

P(X = 2) = C_{15,2}.(0.1)^{2}.(0.9)^{13} = 0.2669

P(X = 3) = C_{15,3}.(0.1)^{3}.(0.9)^{12} = 0.1285

P(X \leq 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) = 0.2059 + 0.3432 + 0.2669 + 0.1285 = 0.9445

P(X > 3) = 1 - 0.9445 = 0.0555

0.0555 = 5.55% probability that more than 3 of these selected children have three siblings.

The first missing number in the sequence is 35, and the last missing number is 77.

<h3>Next number of the given sequence</h3>

The two missing numbers in the given sequence is calculated as follows;

= ?    49     63    ?

The given sequence is factor 7 which increases by 2

= 7 x 5      7 x 7       7 x 9     7 x 11

= 35         49          63          77

Thus, the first missing number in the sequence is 35, and the last missing number is 77.

The diameter of Joe's large pizza is 19 inches. Approximately how many inches are there in the circumference of the large pizza?
Burka [1]

Answer:

There are 59.66 inches in the circumference of the large pizza.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that:

Diameter of Joe's large pizza = 19 inches

Diameter = 2r

2r = 19

Circumference of large pizza = 2πr = 2r * π

Circumference of large pizza = 19*3.14

Circumference = 59.66 inches

Therefore,

There are 59.66 inches in the circumference of the large pizza.
