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.

The path a character takes to navigate a level of a video game is given in the following graph.
KonstantinChe [14]

We want to find the domain for the graphed function. We will see that the correct option is A: -12 ≤ x ≤ 14

<h3>What is the domain of a function?</h3>

For a function f(x) we define the domain as the set of possible inputs that we can use in the function.

In this case, we need to see the values in the horizontal axis that the graph covers.

We can see that it goes from -12 to 14. We also can see that there are two jumps, at x = -6 and at x = 8, but these values belong to the graph (denoted by the black dot) meaning that these are in the domain.

Then the domain is:

-12 ≤ x ≤ 14
