Suppose a bag contains many marbles, 54% of which are purple. You draw 5 marbles from the bag with replacement.

Part A

Use the binomial probability distribution formula.

p = 0.54 = probability of getting a purple marble

n = 5 = sample size

x = 2 = number of purple we want to get

P(x) = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}*p^x*(1-p)^{n-x}\\\\P(2) = \frac{5!}{2!(5-2)!}*0.54^2*(1-0.54)^{5-2}\\\\P(2) = 10*0.54^2*0.46^3\\\\P(2) = 0.283831776\\\\

The \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!} portion is from the nCr combination formula. The exclamation marks indicate a factorial.

Alternatively, you could use Pascal's Triangle for that portion.

<h3>Answer: 0.283831776</h3>

This decimal value is exact. Round it however you need to.

============================================================

Part B

To find the expected value, aka the mean, we multiply the sample size and probability of getting a purple marble on any single selection.

n*p = 5*0.54 = 2.7

<h3>Answer: 2.7</h3>

Nick's dad wanted to measure the length of his backyard and asked Nick to do this with his footsteps. Since it was winter, they
Lerok [7]

Answer:

2244 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The first first thing we must do is find the LCM of the following numbers

(51; 68) = 204.

This means that the first time they coincide is at 204.

Now, since his steps always coincide after 204

In Nick's case

Nick's 204 ÷ 51 = 4th step

and in the case of the father

204 ÷ 68 of his father = 3rd step.

Which means that in the 204 cm distance, there will be a total of 6 foot steps, except in the first 204 cm when your "initial" step is counted.

Replacing these values we have that the total distance will be:

67-1 (initial step) / (6 * 204) = 2244 cm

What is the slope of D and E??
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

-4 and 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Rise over Run would give us the slope.

In the first graph, It goes down 4 while it goes 1 to the right.

This means that -4/1 = -4.

The second graph does not go up or down, meaning 0, while it goes 1 to the right.

This means that 0/1 = 0.

Help on this thx for helping if you did
vichka [17]
To evaluate two fractions being divided, you must turn the right fraction into a reciprocal. That means you must put the bottom number at the top and then put the top number on the bottom (you’re basically switching them).

8/13 / 3/2

Now, once you turned the other number into a reciprocal, you multiply across. The top number times the other top number and do this to the bottom numbers, too.

8/13 * 3/2 = 24/26

You found the answer, 24/26. But as you can see, it’s not one of the choices. That’s because you need to simplify.

24/26 / 2/2 = 12/13

12/13 is your answer, or choice C!

I hope this helped. Comment below if you have any questions.
