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

Runner A crosses the starting line of a marathon and runs at an average pace of 5.6 miles per hour. Half an hour later, Runner B
marishachu [46]
Time it took runner A to complete the marathon = 26.2 / 5.6 = 4 hrs 41 mins
Time it took runner B to complete the marathon = 26.2 / 6.4 = 4 hrs 6 mins

Time it took runner B to complete the marathon relative to when runner A started = 30 mins + 4 hrs 6 mins = 4 hrs 36 mins

Therefore, runner B will finnish ahead of runner A.

Let x be the time the two runners are at the same point, then
5.6x + 5.6(0.5) = 6.4x
6.4x - 5.6x = 2.8
0.8x = 2.8
x = 2.8/0.8 = 3.5
Therefore, runner B will catch up with runner A 3.5 hours after runner A starts the race.
<span>Runner B; Runner B will catch up to Runner A 3.5 hours after Runner A crosses the starting line.</span>

Do the political leanings of a network affect the news they report? During the the 2018-2019 Government shutdown, a left-leaning
daser333 [38]

Answer:

504

Step-by-step explanation:

We are solving for the left leaning poll

Total voters = 900 + 1100

= 2000

Number of voters who say trump was responsible = 56percent x 2000

= 1120

Number of those who say otherwise = 44% x 2000

= 880

For this network

Those who say trump is responsible = 1120 x900/2000

= 1008000/2000

= 504 registered voters
