Let X be the number of students who show up for a professor's office hour on a particular day, pmf of X is p(0) = 0.10, p(1) = 0

.20, p(2) = 0.25, p(3) = 0.30 and p(4) = 0.15, what is the probability at least 2 students show up? I tried doing P(p(1) u p(2)) = P(p(1)) + P(p(2)) - (P(p(1) n p(2))) what would be the correct formula?

The probability of at least 2 students showing up is .70 or 70%

Let X be the number of students who show up for a professor's office hour on a particular day, probability of X is p(0) = 0.10, p(1) = 0.20, p(2) = 0.25, p(3) = 0.30 and p(4) = 0.15

If we add the probability of 1 student showing up, 2 students to show up, 3 students to show up, and 4 students showing up

We get 0.10+ 0.20+ 0.25+ 0.15 =1

As the sum of these individual 4 possibilities is 1 that means these are the only possibilities  to exit

Now we need to find out  the probability of at least 2 students showing up which means the probability of two or more students showing up

Which can be written as

            p(≥2) = p(2) + p(3) + p(4)

            p(≥ 2) = 0.25+0.30+0.15

           p(≥2) = 0.70

Hence, the probability of at least 2 students showing up is .70 or 70%

Find the value of the power. Please do all four questions for 15 pts #1 6³ #2 9² #3 3⁴ #4 18²
defon

Answer:

6³ = 216

9² = 81

3⁴ = 81

18² = 324

Step-by-step explanation:

6³ = 6 · 6 · 6 = 36 · 6 = 216

9² = 9 · 9 = 81

3⁴ = 3 · 3 · 3 · 3 = 9 · 3 · 3 = 27 · 3 = 81

18² = 18 · 18 = 324

zheka24 [161]
That "9 minutes" doesn't affect the outcome!

How many pieces of candy are in the bag at the beginning?  How many of those are "fruit tart chews?"  Write a fraction involving these 2 counts.  Remember that Britany immediately eats what she draws from the bag, so the 2nd time around, there are only 19 pieces, not 20.  What is the prob. that she will pick a jelly treat on her second draw?
Because these experiments are independent, you can find the joint probability by multiplying the 2 probabilities together.  Please show your work.
