Answer

Option B is correct.

Only the equation, 3x + 9 = 21, has a solution of x = 4.

Explanation

We are told to pick the equation(s) with x = 4 as a solution from the equations,

5x - 8 = 44

3x + 9 = 21

4x = 24

x - 10 = -8

The step to solving this is to insert x = 4 and check if that is consistent with the given equation.

Option A

5x - 8 = 44

If x = 4

5(4) - 8 = 44

20 - 8 = 44

12 ≠ 44

Hence, this is not an answer

Option B

3x + 9 = 21

If x = 4

3(4) + 9 = 21

12 + 9 = 21

21 = 21

Hence, this is an answer for this question.

Option C

4x = 24

If x = 4

4(4) = 24

16 ≠ 24

Hence, this is not an answer to this question.

Option D

x - 10 = - 8

If x = 4

4 - 10 = -8

-6 ≠ -8

This is also not an answer to this question.

Hope this Helps!!!

In a binomial distribution, n = 8 and π=0.36. Find the probabilities of the following events. (Round your answers to 4 decimal p

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

$\mathbf{P(X=5) =0.0888}$

P(x ≤ 5 ) = 0.9707

P ( x ≥ 6) = 0.0293

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of a binomial mass distribution can be expressed with the formula:

$\mathtt{P(X=x) =(^{n}_{x} ) \ \pi^x \ (1-\pi)^{n-x}}$

$\mathtt{P(X=x) =(\dfrac{n!}{x!(n-x)!} ) \ \pi^x \ (1-\pi)^{n-x}}$

where;

n = 8 and π = 0.36

For x = 5

The probability $\mathtt{P(X=5) =(\dfrac{8!}{5!(8-5)!} ) \ 0.36^5 \ (1-0.36)^{8-5}}$

$\mathtt{P(X=5) =(\dfrac{8!}{5!(3)!} ) \ 0.36^5 \ (0.64)^{3}}$

$\mathtt{P(X=5) =(\dfrac{8 \times 7 \times 6 \times 5!}{5!(3)!} ) \times \ 0.0060466 \ \times 0.262144}$

$\mathtt{P(X=5) =(\dfrac{8 \times 7 \times 6 }{3 \times 2 \times 1} ) \times \ 0.0060466 \ \times 0.262144}$

$\mathtt{P(X=5) =({8 \times 7 } ) \times \ 0.0060466 \ \times 0.262144}$

$\mathtt{P(X=5) =0.0887645}$

$\mathbf{P(X=5) =0.0888}$ to 4 decimal places

b. x ≤ 5

The probability of P ( x ≤ 5) $\mathtt{P(x \leq 5) = P(x = 0)+ P(x = 1)+ P(x = 2)+ P(x = 3)+ P(x = 4)+ P(x = 5})$

${P(x \leq 5) = ( \dfrac{8!}{0!(8!)} \times (0.36)^0 \times (1-0.36)^8 \ ) + \dfrac{8!}{1!(7!)} \times (0.36)^1 \times (1-0.36)^7 \ +$ $\dfrac{8!}{2!(6!)} \times (0.36)^2 \times (1-0.36)^6 \ + \dfrac{8!}{3!(5!)} \times (0.36)^3 \times (1-0.36)^5 + \dfrac{8!}{4!(4!)} \times (0.36)^4 \times (1-0.36)^4 \ + \dfrac{8!}{5!(3!)} \times (0.36)^5 \times (1-0.36)^3 \ )$

P(x ≤ 5 ) = 0.0281+0.1267+0.2494+0.2805+0.1972+0.0888

P(x ≤ 5 ) = 0.9707

c. x ≥ 6

The probability of P ( x ≥ 6) = 1 - P( x ≤ 5 )

P ( x ≥ 6) = 1 - 0.9707

P ( x ≥ 6) = 0.0293
