Using the binomial distribution, the probabilities are given as follows:

  • 0.3675 = 36.75% probability that more than 4 weigh more than 20 pounds.
  • 0.1673 = 16.73% probability that fewer than 3 weigh more than 20 pounds.
  • Since P(X > 7) < 0.05, it would be unusual if more than 7 of them weigh more than 20 pounds.

<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.

The values of the parameters for this problem are:

n = 10, p = 0.4.

The probability that more than 4 weigh more than 20 pounds is:

P(X > 4) = 1 - P(X \leq 4)

In which:

P(X \leq 4) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4)

Then:

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

P(X = 0) = C_{10,0}.(0.4)^{0}.(0.6)^{10} = 0.0061

P(X = 1) = C_{10,1}.(0.4)^{1}.(0.6)^{9} = 0.0403

P(X = 2) = C_{10,2}.(0.4)^{2}.(0.6)^{8} = 0.1209

P(X = 3) = C_{10,3}.(0.4)^{3}.(0.6)^{7} = 0.2150

P(X = 4) = C_{10,4}.(0.4)^{4}.(0.6)^{6} = 0.2502

Hence:

P(X \leq 4) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) = 0.0061 + 0.0403 + 0.1209 + 0.2150 + 0.2502 = 0.6325

P(X > 4) = 1 - P(X \leq 4) = 1 - 0.6325 = 0.3675

0.3675 = 36.75% probability that more than 4 weigh more than 20 pounds.

The probability that fewer than 3 weigh more than 20 pounds is:

P(X < 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) = 0.0061 + 0.0403 + 0.1209 = 0.1673

0.1673 = 16.73% probability that fewer than 3 weigh more than 20 pounds.

For more than 7, the probability is:

P(X > 7) = P(X = 8) + P(X = 9) + P(X = 10)

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

P(X = 8) = C_{10,8}.(0.4)^{8}.(0.6)^{2} = 0.0106

P(X = 9) = C_{10,9}.(0.4)^{9}.(0.6)^{1} = 0.0016

P(X = 10) = C_{10,10}.(0.4)^{10}.(0.6)^{0} = 0.0001

Since P(X > 7) < 0.05, it would be unusual if more than 7 of them weigh more than 20 pounds.

Answer:

Part a) AB=15\ cm

Part b) AB=11.1\ cm

Part c) AB=3/5\ cm

Part d) AB=3s\ cm

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the question

we know that

To find the length of the image after a dilation, multiply the length of the pre-image by the scale factor

Part a) we have

The scale factor is 5

The length of the pre-image is 3 cm

therefore

The length of the image AB after dilation is

3(5)=15\ cm

Part b) we have

The scale factor is 3.7

The length of the pre-image is 3 cm

therefore

The length of the image AB after dilation is

3(3.7)=11.1\ cm

Part c) we have

The scale factor is 1/5

The length of the pre-image is 3 cm

therefore

The length of the image AB after dilation is

3(1/5)=3/5\ cm

Part d) we have

The scale factor is s

The length of the pre-image is 3 cm

therefore

The length of the image AB after dilation is

3(s)=3s\ cm

Can someone plz help me solved this problem! I’m giving you 10 points! I need help plz help me! Will mark you as brainiest!
sergeinik [125]

Answer:

a). 8(x + a)

b). 8(h + 2x)

Step-by-step explanation:

a). Given function is, f(x) = 8x²

    For x = a,

    f(a) = 8a²

    Now substitute these values in the expression,

    \frac{f(x)-f(a)}{x-a} = \frac{8x^2-8a^2}{x-a}

                  = \frac{8(x^2-a^2)}{(x-a)}

                  = \frac{8(x-a)(x+a)}{(x-a)}

                  = 8(x + a)

b). \frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h} = \frac{8(x+h)^2-8x^2}{h}

                      = \frac{8(x^2+h^2+2xh)-8x^2}{h}

                      = \frac{8x^2+8h^2+16xh-8x^2}{h}

                      = (8h + 16x)

                      = 8(h + 2x)

The sum of three certain consecutive numbers is 240. Find the three numbers. [Hint: Let x stand for the smallest number. Since t
aleksley [76]
Write an equation based on the problem in the terms of x and solve the equation
first number + second number + third number = 240
x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 240
3x + 3 = 240
3x = 240 - 3
3x = 237
  x = 237/3
  x = 79
The smallest number, x, is equal to 79

Find the next two numbers
the second number = x + 1
the second number = 79 + 1
the second number = 80

the third number = x + 2
the third number = 79 + 2
the third number = 81

ANSWER: The three numbers are 79, 80, 81
