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.

PLEASE HELP NEED THIS ANSWERED CORRECTLY
Helen [10]

f(3) = 1.9

Solution:

Given function:

$f(x)=\frac{14}{7+2 e^{-0.6 x}}

To find f(3):

Substitute x = 3 in the given function.

$f(3)=\frac{14}{7+2 e^{-0.6 (3)}}

$f(3)=\frac{14}{7+2 e^{-1.8}}

Let us first simplify 2e^{-1.8}.

Apply exponent rule: a^{-b}=\frac{1}{a^{b}}

$ 2e^{-1.8}=2\frac{1}{e^{1.8}}$

The value of e^{1.8}=6.04964. (using calculator)

$\frac{2}{e^{1.8}}=\frac{2}{6.04964}=0.33059

2e^{-1.8}=0.33059

Substitute this value in f(3).

$f(3)=\frac{14}{7+0.33059}

$f(3)=\frac{14}{7.33059}  

$f(3)=1.90980

f(3) = 1.9

Hence the value of f(3) is 1.9.

Answer:

Angle A equals Angle B so 6x-2=4x+48 ---> 2x=50 ---> x=25. From this we find that both Angles A and B are equal to 148 degrees. :)
