In a recent survey of 25 voters, 17 favor a new city regulation and 8 oppose it. What is the probability that in a random sample

of 6 respondents from this survey, exactly 2 favor the proposed regulation and 4 oppose it?

Answer:

P(X=2)=(6C2)(0.68)^2 (1-0.68)^{6-2}=0.0727

Step-by-step explanation:

1) 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".

2) Solution to the problem

The probability in favor of the regulation based on the recent survey is:

p = \frac{17}{25}=0.68

Let X the random variable of interest "Number of favor respondents about the regulation", on this case we now that:

X \sim Binom(n=6, p=0.68)

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 to find this probability:

P(X=2)=(6C2)(0.68)^2 (1-0.68)^{6-2}=0.0727

If we use X= "Number of respondednts opposed to the regulation we got the same answer", but on this case p = 1-0.68=0.32, and we want this probability:

P(X=4)=(6C4)(0.32)^4 (1-0.32)^{6-4}=0.0727

Triangle ABC has the following properties: Angle A measures 120°; AB ≅ AC. What is the classification of triangle ABC by angles
Flura [38]
The answer is C <<<=====
It can't be anything else. It is not a right angle. A>90
It can't be acute because one angle is greater than 90.
It can't scalene because at least 2 of the angles (and 2 sides) are equal.

The function f(x) = 7(1.32)x models the number, in billions, of the DNA sequences in a database x years since 2010. What does th
NikAS [45]

Answer:

The correct option is (A).

Step-by-step explanation:

The function representing the growth of number, in billions, of the DNA sequences in a database x years since 2010 is:

f(x)=7\cdot (1.32) x

The general growth function can be represented as:

y=a\cdot (1+r)^{t}

Here,

<em>y</em> = final value

<em>a</em> = initial value

<em>r</em> = growth rate

<em>t</em> = time

Com-paring the two functions we get:

1+r=1.32\\r=1.32-1\\r=0.32

This implies that the annual increase rate in number, in billions, of the DNA sequences is 32%.

Thus, the correct option is (A).

What are the quadrants of the standard (x,y) coordinate plane below that contain points on the graph of the equation 4x - 2y = 8
miv72 [106K]

Answer: I III and IV

Step-by-step explanation:

The line intersects the x axis at (2,0) and the y axis at (0,-4) so the line goes through quadrants 1 3 and 4 so the answer is the middle or the 3rd from top

Help I don't understand this one either I bed help show your work and answer

Well well we find the area of the triangle first:
area = 1/2 * base * height
area = 1/2 * 8 1/4 * 5 3/4
area = 1/2 * 33/4 * 23/4
area = 1/2 * 759/16
area = 759 / 32
area = 23 23/32

now if we multiply the length of the triangles we get volume because the volume of the prism is really just the sum of the areas of all the triangles that make up it's length. So:
volume = 23 23/32 * 12
volume = 276 276/32
276/ 32 = 8 5/8
volume = 284 5/8
