Answer:

The mean number of cars recovered after being stolen is 267 and the standard deviation is 5.42.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each stolen car, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is recovered, or it is not. The probability of a stolen car being recovered is independent of other stolen cars. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

E(X) = np

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}

In this problem, we have that:

n = 300, p = 0.89

So

E(X) = np = 300*0.89 = 267

\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{300*0.89*0.11} = 5.42

The mean number of cars recovered after being stolen is 267 and the standard deviation is 5.42.

A bandleader randomly select's two students out of 100 bandmembers if you and your brother are both bandmembers what is the prob
kherson [118]
<span>There are 100 * 99 = 9900 different ways to choose two students out of 100 bandmembers. You and our brother are 2 of that ways: you being selected first and you being selected second. Therefore the probability that you two are selected is 2 / 9900 = 0,000202. You can also think as the probability of you being selected among 100 bandmembers, which is 1/100, times the probability of your brother being selected among 99 members, which is 1/99 => (1/100) * (1/99) = 1/ (100*99) = 1 / 9900; plus the same for your brother being selected first and you second => [1/9900] * 2 = 2/9900, which is the same calculated above.</span>

How do you write the equation 4x + 2y = 16 in function form? Please answer with an explanation!
kramer
F(x)=-2x+8 This is because f(x) is the same as writing y so therefore you have to change the equation to 4x+2y=16 so you have Y=-2x+8
