In a list of households, own homes and do not own homes. Five households are randomly selected from these households. Find the p

hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

The probability of success for this case would be:

$p =\frac{9}{15}= 0.6$ representing the proportion of homes that are own homes

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

$X \sim Binom(n=15, p=0.6)$

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:

$P(X=3)$

And uing the probability mass function we got:

$P(X=3)= 15C3 (0.6)^3 (1-0.6)^{15-3}= 0.00165$

Step-by-step explanation:

Adduming the following info: In a list of 15 households, 9 own homes and 6 do not own homes. Five households are randomly selected from these 15 households. Find the probability that the number of households in these 5 own homes is exactly 3.

Round your answer to four decimal places

P (exactly 3)=

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

The probability of success for this case would be:

$p =\frac{9}{15}= 0.6$ representing the proportion of homes that are own homes

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

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

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

$nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}$

And we want this probability:

And uing the probability mass function we got:

$P(X=3)= 15C3 (0.6)^3 (1-0.6)^{15-3}= 0.00165$

Hector invests $20,000 at age 21. He hopes the investment will be worth $200,000 when he turns 40. If the interest compounds con

KiRa [710]

Answer:

12.12%

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that the formula is given by:

A = p * e ^ (r * t)

From here, we know that A = 200000; p = 20000 and the time we can calculate 40 - 21 = 19

if we replace we have:

200000 = 20000 * e ^ (19 * r)

we must calculate r:

e ^ (19 * r) = 200000/20000

e ^ (19 * r) = 10

19 * r = ln 10

r = ln 10/19

r = 0.1212

In other words, the rate of growth is 12.12%

Which of the following is an extraneous solution of (45-3x)^1/2=x-9?

Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

C. x =3

Step-by-step explanation:

Extraneous solution is that root of a transformed equation that doesn't satisfy the equation in it's original form because it was excluded from the domain of the original equation.

Let's solve the equation first

$\sqrt{45-3x} = x-9\\Taking\ square\ on\ both\ sides\\{(\sqrt{45-3x})}^2 = {(x-9)}^2\\45-3x = x^2-18x+81\\0 = x^2-18x+81-45+3x\\x^2-15x+36 = 0\\x^2-12x-3x+36 = 0\\x(x-12)-3(x-12) = 0\\(x-3)(x-12)\\x-3 = 0\\=> x =3\\x-12 = 0\\x = 12\\We\ will\ check\ the\ solutions\ one\ by\ one\\So,\\for\ x=3\\\sqrt{45-3(3)} = 3-9\\\sqrt{45-9} = -6\\\sqrt{36}= -6\\6\neq -6\\For x=12\\\sqrt{45-3(12)} = 12-9\\\sqrt{45-36} = 6\\\sqrt{36}= 6\\6=6$

Hence, we can conclude that x=3 is an extraneous solution of the equation ..
