Using the binomial distribution, it is found that the probability that he will hit fewer than 8 of the bottles is of 0.012, given by option A.

<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, we have that:

  • The probability of a bottle being hit is of p = 0.95.
  • There are n = 10 bottles.

The probability that he hits fewer than 8 of the bottles is given by:

P(X < 8) = 1 - P(X \geq 8)

In which:

P(X \geq 8) = P(X = 8) + P(X = 9) + P(X = 10)

Then:

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

P(X = 8) = C_{10,8}.(0.95)^{8}.(0.05)^{2} = 0.0746

P(X = 9) = C_{10,9}.(0.95)^{9}.(0.05)^{1} = 0.3151

P(X = 10) = C_{10,10}.(0.95)^{10}.(0.05)^{0} = 0.5987

Hence:

P(X \geq 8) = P(X = 8) + P(X = 9) + P(X = 10) = 0.0746 + 0.3151 + 0.5987 = 0.988

P(X < 8) = 1 - P(X \geq 8) = 0.012

The probability that he will hit fewer than 8 of the bottles is of 0.012, given by option A.

Answer: 18x + 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Step #1: Determine the length of each side.

The polygon is regular, so all the sides are equal. Thus, all sides measure 3x+2.

Step #2: Determine the number of sides in the polygon.

This polygon is identified as a hexagon meaning it consists of 6 sides.

Step #3: Set up an expression and distribute.

       (Number of sides) x (Length of each side)

       (6)(3x+2)

  • 6 times 3x equals positive 18x
  • 6 times 2 equals positive 12

So, the answer is 18x + 12.

Factor the algebraic expression below in terms of a single trigonometric function. sin 2x + sin x - 2
Pie

Answer:

The factored form is (sin x +2)(sin x-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given the trigonometric function \sin^2 x +\sinx-2

We can factor this by AC method. In AC method we multiply the term a and c and then write the middle term b in such a way that the sum/difference is equal to the product 'ac'

Using the method, we can write sinx as 2sinx -sinx

\sin^2 x +2\sinx-\sin x-2

Now, we group the first two terms and the last two terms

(\sin^2 x +2\sinx)+(-\sin x-2)

Now, we take GCF from each group

\sin x(\sin x +2)-1(\sin x+2)

Factor out (sinx+2)

(\sin x +2)(\sin x-1)

Therefore, the factored form is (sin x +2)(sin x-1)
