The probability is P(X >= 2).

200 random people, n = 200

Let us consider the Binomial expression

i.e.,

P(X = r) = nCr*p^r*q^(n-r)

Here we have to assume that the 3 initials are equally likely events.

i.e.,

p = 1/3

q = 1 - 1/3

= 2/3

Required probability = P(X >= 2)

= 1 - [P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)]

= 1 - [200C0*(1/3)^0*(2/3)^200 + 200C1*(1/3)^1*(2/3)^199]

= 1 - [1*1*(2/3)^200 + 200*(1/3)*(2/3)^199]

= 1 - [(2/3)^200 + 200*(1/3)*(2/3)^199]

= 1 - (2/3)^200 - 200*(1/3)*(2/3)^199

Probability is truly how possibly something is to happen. every time we're unsure about the final results of an event, we will talk about the possibilities of certain consequences and how probably they are. The evaluation of events ruled by means of possibility is called records.

3 styles of probability

  • Classical
  • Relative Frequency Definition.
  • Subjective possibility.

Measurements of angles
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

x = 60

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this triangle is an isosceles triangle, the angle next to the 60 degrees is 60 as well. The interior angles of a triangle adds up to 180 degrees, so:

60 + 60 + x = 180
120 + x = 180
x = 60
Hope this helps :)

Would it be easier to find the slope or the x - intercpet of the line described by y= 2x +3? explain

Its the same thing, the slope is the number next to the x, making it be the x-intercept.... this means that the slope or x-intercept is 2
