Answer:

P(X=14)=(18C14)(0.8)^{14} (1-0.8)^{18-14}=0.2153

P(X=15)=(18C15)(0.8)^{15} (1-0.8)^{18-15}=0.2297

P(X=16)=(18C16)(0.8)^{16} (1-0.8)^{18-16}=0.1722

P(X=17)=(18C17)(0.8)^{17} (1-0.8)^{18-17}=0.0811

P(X=18)=(18C18)(0.8)^{18} (1-0.8)^{18-18}=0.0180

And adding the values we got:

P(X \geq 14)= 0.2153 +0.2297+0.1722+0.0811+0.0180=0.7164

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming this question: P(X≥14), n=18, p=0.8

Previous concepts  

The binomial distribution is a "DISCRETE probability distribution that summarizes the probability that a value will take one of two independent values under a given set of parameters. The assumptions for the binomial distribution are that there is only one outcome for each trial, each trial has the same probability of success, and each trial is mutually exclusive, or independent of each other".  

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable of interest, on this case we now that:  

X \sim Binom(n=18, p=0.8)  

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:  

P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}  

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:  

nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}  

And we want this probability:

P(X \geq 14) = P(X=14) +P(X=15) +P(X=16)+P(X=17)+P(X=18)

And we can find the individual proabilities using the probability mass function:

P(X=14)=(18C14)(0.8)^{14} (1-0.8)^{18-14}=0.2153

P(X=15)=(18C15)(0.8)^{15} (1-0.8)^{18-15}=0.2297

P(X=16)=(18C16)(0.8)^{16} (1-0.8)^{18-16}=0.1722

P(X=17)=(18C17)(0.8)^{17} (1-0.8)^{18-17}=0.0811

P(X=18)=(18C18)(0.8)^{18} (1-0.8)^{18-18}=0.0180

And adding the values we got:

P(X \geq 14)= 0.2153 +0.2297+0.1722+0.0811+0.0180=0.7164

What is the x please answer me quick ​
nordsb [41]
First u do a squared +b squared =c squared aka pythagorean theorem then so u already have c squared so you would do 5x5=25 and 13x13=169 so then the equation would be 25+?=169 then do 169-25 which equals 144 and then do the square root of that which is 12 THE ANSWER IS 12
