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 only unknown (variable) needed to find the volume of a sphere?
yuradex [85]

Sphere

The radius of the sphere is the only unknown variable need to find the volume of a sphere.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sphere is a geometrical three dimensional round figure with every point on its surface equidistant from its center. It is a three dimensional representation of a circle. A line which connects from the center to the surface is called radius of the sphere.The diameter of the sphere is the longest straight line which passes through the center of the sphere.

The volume of sphere is given by:

Volume of sphere(V) = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3} \\

where V is the volume of the sphere

r is the radius of the sphere

\pi = \frac{22}{7}  = 3.14

Hence the only unknown variable to find the volume of a sphere is the radius.

Solve for x. Round to the nearest tenth, if necessary. 1.8 & x
Valentin [98]

Answer:

x ≈ 1.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the sine ratio in the right triangle

sin50° = \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse} = \frac{RS}{RT} = \frac{x}{1.8} ( multiply both sides by 1.8 )

1.8 × sin50° = x , then

x ≈ 1.4 ( to the nearest tenth )
