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.

Feliz [49]

Answer:

15÷1 .50=10

Because you are already paying a flat rate of $15. You make 1.50 off of each flower. So you have to sell over 10 flowers to make a profit.

X^2 times 4x-x times 4x
kicyunya [14]
If you were to write it fully, as an equation, I believe it would look like this:
    x²(4x-x) *4x
Therefore allowing you to simplify the area within the bracket into:
    x²(3x)*4x
To expand, you simply start on the left and work your way across.
    3x³*4x= 12x⁴
