Answer:

a) 0.1091

b) 0.9994

c) 0.5886

Step-by-step explanation:

X = the number of fish out of 20 that die after 24 hours

x = 0, 1, 2, . . . , 20

X~ Binomial (n= 20, p =0.20)

P(14 survive) = P(X = 6)

= nC_r p^r q^{n-r}= 20C_6 0.2^6\times0.8^{14}=0.1091

Similarly we can find out

P(at least 10 survive) = P( X <= 10 ) = (Using technology) = 0.9994

P(at most 16 will survive) = P(X <= 16) = (Using technology) = 0.5886

Victoria has $200 of her birthday gift money saved at home, and the amount is modeled by the function h(x) = 200. She reads abou
svlad2 [7]

Solution :

Amount of money Victoria has = $200

The amount modelled by function = h(x) = 200

According to the function,

s(x) = (1.05)x - 1

It means that the total amount of the interest that Victoria will receive s(x) is equal to original amount of $200 which multiplied by the rate of interest (1.05) and then multiplied by the time that Victoria keeps the money in the bank (x) minus 1.
