Answer:

The probability that he has exactly 2 hits in his next 7 at-bats is 0.3115.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a baseball player has a batting average of 0.25 and we have to find the probability that he has exactly 2 hits in his next 7 at-bats.

Let X = <u><em>Number of hits made by a baseball player</em></u>

The above situation can be represented through binomial distribution;

P(X = r) = \binom{n}{r}\times p^{r} \times (1-p)^{n-r}; x = 0,1,2,......

where, n = number of trials (samples) taken = 7 at-bats

            r = number of success = exactly 2 hits

            p = probability of success which in our question is batting average

                   of a baseball player, i.e; p = 0.25

SO, X ~ Binom(n = 7, p = 0.25)

Now, the probability that he has exactly 2 hits in his next 7 at-bats is given by = P(X = 2)

          P(X = 2) =  \binom{7}{2}\times 0.25^{2} \times (1-0.25)^{7-2}

                        =  21 \times 0.25^{2} \times 0.75^{5}

                        =  <u>0.3115</u>

How to solve 4y=x 3x- y=70 using substitution
creativ13 [48]
X = 4y
3x - y = 70

substitute the x in the second equation with the other half of the first equation.

3(4y) - y = 70
12y - y = 70
11y = 70
y = 6.36 repeating, or 6 4/11

now use this to solve first equation
x = 4 (6 4/11)
x = 25.45 repeating

Un capital de 4000 lei este plasat în regim de dobândă simplă pe o perioadă de 3 ani cu rata dobânzii
9966 [12]

Answer:

960

Step-by-step explanation:

The simple interest formula is the following:

I = P*r*t

Where I is the interest generated after t years, P is the inicial value and r is the rate of interest.

In this case, we have that the inicial value is P = 4000, the rate of interest is r = 8% = 0.08 and the amount of time invested is t = 3 years.

So, the interest will be:

I = 4000*0.08*3 = 960
