Find the probability of each event.

Mathematics
1 answer:

Using the binomial distribution, it is found that there is a 0.0108 = 1.08% probability of the coin landing tails up at least nine times.

<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:

  • The coin is fair, hence p = 0.5.
  • The coin is tossed 10 times, hence n = 10.

The probability that is lands tails up at least nine times is given by:

P(X \geq 9) = P(X = 9) + P(X = 10)

In which:

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

P(X = 9) = C_{10,9}.(0.5)^{9}.(0.5)^{1} = 0.0098

P(X = 10) = C_{10,10}.(0.5)^{10}.(0.5)^{0} = 0.001

Hence:

P(X \geq 9) = P(X = 9) + P(X = 10) = 0.0098 + 0.001 = 0.0108

0.0108 = 1.08% probability of the coin landing tails up at least nine times.

4) The diameter of a circle is 32m. The radius is represented by 4(x + 2).
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

The value of x is 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Diameter = 2r -------------------------------------------------------------------(1)

where r is the radius

The value of the diameter = 32 m   and  radius is given to be 4(x+2)

substitute the above into equation (1)   and then solve for x

32  =  2 [ 4(x + 2)]

first open the inner bracket

32 = 2[4x + 8}

then open the outer bracket

32 = 8x + 16

subtract 16 from both-side of the equation

32 - 16 = 8x +16 - 16

16 = 8x

Divide both-side of the equation by 8

16/8  = 8x/8

2 = x

x = 2

Therefore, the value of x is 2

7. Use the quadratic formula to find the solution(s). x² + 2x - 8 = 0​
morpeh [17]

Hey there!

<u>Use the quadratic formula to find the solution(s). x² + 2x - 8 = 0</u>

  • Answer :

x = -4 or x = 2 ✅

  • Explanation :

<em><u>Quadratic</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>formula </u></em><em><u>:</u></em><em><u> </u></em>ax² + bx + c = 0 where a ≠ 0

The number of real-number solutions <em>(roots)</em> is determined by the discriminant (b² - 4ac) :

  • If b² - 4ac > 0 , There are 2 real-number solutions

  • If b² - 4ac = 0 , There is 1 real-number solution.

  • If b² - 4ac < 0 , There is no real-number solution.

The <em><u>roots</u></em> of the equation are determined by the following calculation:

x =  \frac{ - b \pm  \sqrt{ {b}^{2} - 4ac } }{2a}

Here, we have :

  • a = 1
  • b = 2
  • c = -8

1) <u>Calculate </u><u>the </u><u>discrim</u><u>i</u><u>n</u><u>ant</u><u> </u><u>:</u>

b² - 4ac ⇔ 2² - 4(1)(-8) ⇔ 4 - (-32) ⇔ 36

b² - 4ac = 36 > 0 ; The equation admits two real-number solutions

2) <u>Calculate </u><u>the </u><u>roots </u><u>of </u><u>the </u><u>equation</u><u>:</u>

▪️ (1)

x_1 =  \frac{ - b -  \sqrt{ {b}^{2}  - 4ac} }{2a}  \\  \\ x_1 =  \frac{ - 2 -  \sqrt{36} }{2(1) }  \\  \\ x_1 =  \frac{ - 2 - 6}{2}   \\ \\ x_1 =  \frac{ - 8}{2}  \\  \\ \blue{\boxed{\red{x_1 = -4}}}

▪️ (2)

x_2 =  \frac{ - b  +   \sqrt{ {b}^{2} - 4ac } }{2a}  \\  \\ x_2 =  \frac{ - 2 +  \sqrt{36} }{2(1)}  \\  \\ x_2 =  \frac{ - 2 + 6}{2}  \\  \\ x_2 =  \frac{4}{2}  \\  \\ \red{\boxed{\blue{x_2 = 2}}}

>> Therefore, your answers are x = -4 or x = 2.
