Simplify. (−5 p 4 z 6 u) 3

1 answer:

5 0

In this expression, solve the multiplication in the parenthesis.
-5×p×4×z×6×u
since multiplication is commutative,
-5×p×4×z×6×u=-5×4×6×p×z×u= -120pzu

Now multiply this by 3.
(-5p4z6u)3 = (-120pzu)3 = -360pzu

Choose the statement that is true. WILL MARK BRAINLIEST

Margarita [4]

Answer:

option A is correct

hope it helps :)

Step-by-step explanation:

The Standard Deviation Rule states that for a normal distribution, nearly all of the data will fall within three standard deviations of the mean. It states that

68% of data falls within the first standard deviation from the mean.

95% fall within two standard deviations.

99.7% fall within three standard deviations.

Therefore, looking at the options, the true statement id

A) For a normal distribution, 99.7% of the distribution is within 3 standard deviations.

Two teams A and B play a series of games until one team wins three games. We assume that the games are played independently and

Olenka [21]

Answer:

The probability that the series lasts exactly four games is $3p(1-p)(p^{2} + (1 - p)^{2})$

Step-by-step explanation:

For each game, there are only two possible outcomes. Either team A wins, or team A loses. Games are played independently. This means that we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

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

And p is the probability of X happening.

We also need to know a small concept of independent events.

Independent events:

If two events, A and B, are independent, we have that:

$P(A \cap B) = P(A)*P(B)$

What is the probability that the series lasts exactly four games?

This happens if A wins in 4 games of B wins in 4 games.

Probability of A winning in exactly four games:

In the first two games, A must win 2 of them. Also, A must win the fourth game. So, two independent events:

Event A: A wins two of the first three games.

Event B: A wins the fourth game.

P(A):

A wins any game with probability p. 3 games, so n = 3. We have to find P(A) = P(X = 2).

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(A) = P(X = 2) = C_{3,2}.p^{2}.(1-p)^{1} = 3p^{2}(1-p)$

P(B):

The probability that A wins any game is p, so P(B) = p.

Probability that A wins in 4:

A and B are independent, so:

$P(A4) = P(A)*P(B) = 3p^{2}(1-p)*p = 3p^{3}(1-p)$

Probability of B winning in exactly four games:

In the first three games, A must win one and B must win 2. The fourth game must be won by 2. So

Event A: A wins one of the first three.

Event B: B wins the fourth game.

P(A)

P(X = 1).

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(A) = P(X = 1) = C_{3,1}.p^{1}.(1-p)^{2} = 3p(1-p)^{2}$

P(B)

B wins each game with probability 1 - p, do P(B) = 1 - p.

Probability that B wins in 4:

A and B are independent, so:

$P(B4) = P(A)*P(B) = 3p(1-p)^{2}*(1-p) = 3p(1-p)^{3}$

Probability that the series lasts exactly four games:

$p = P(A4) + P(B4) = 3p^{3}(1-p) + 3p(1-p)^{3} = 3p(1-p)(p^{2} + (1 - p)^{2})$

The probability that the series lasts exactly four games is $3p(1-p)(p^{2} + (1 - p)^{2})$
