The probability that the tenth person randomly interviewed in that city is the fifth one to own a dog = 0.051

Given,

Consider the interview of a person is a trial.

Lets consider it success if a person  owns a dog and consequently , a person without a dog will be a failure.'

Let the random variable X represent the number of persons to be interviewed to get 5 dog owner: in other words, to get 5 successors.

Probability of a success in each trial is p = 0.3. Therefore probability of a failure in each trial is q = 1 - p = 0.7 .

Because trials are independent. X has a negative binomial distribution with parameters k = 5, p = 0.3

P(X =x ) = b(x: k, p) = [(x-1)(k-1)] p^kq^r^-^k

where, x = k , k + 1 , k + 2......(1)

Now, Lets find the probability that the tenth person randomly interviewed in that city is the fifth one to own a dog

Using equation (1), we get:

P(X = 10) = b(10: 5, 0.3)

                = [(10-1) (5 - 1)](0.3)^5(0.7)^1^0^-^5

               = [(9)(4)] (0.3)^5(0.7)^1^0^-^5

               = 0.05146

Hence, The probability that the tenth person randomly interviewed in that city is the fifth one to own a dog = 0.051

ololo11 [35]

Answer:

area= 41 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

area=5 x 8.2 = 41 cm^2

divide the rhombus in half either way and you have two identical triangles.

area of triangle =0.5 x base x height

double that for the two triangles and you have the area of the rhombus.

Use long division to determine the quotient of the polynomials. (x3 – 7x – 6) ÷ (x – 4) Which of the following options best desc
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

The correct option is c.

Step-by-step explanation:

The quotient of the polynomials is

\frac{(x^3-7x-6)}{x-4}

We need to find the remainder by using long division method.

The dividend of the given expression is

Dividend=x^3-7x-6

Divisor=x-4

The long division method is shown below.

\frac{(x^3-7x-6)}{x-4}=(x^2+4x+9)+\frac{30}{x-4}

From the below attachment it is clear that the quotient has a remainder of 30. Therefore, the divisor is not factor of the dividend.

Therefore the correct option is c.
