Given Information:

Probability of success = p = 25% = 0.25

Number of trials = n = 10   

Required Information:

P(x < 3) = ?

Answer:

P(x < 3) = 0.5256 (option D)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given problem can be solved using binomial distribution since:

  • There are n repeated trials and are independent of each other.
  • There are only two possibilities: student is able to read or student is not able to read.
  • The probability of success does not change with trial to trial.

The binomial distribution is given by

P(x) = ⁿCₓ pˣ (1 - p)ⁿ⁻ˣ

Where n is the number of trials, x is the variable of interest and p is the probability of success.

The variable of interest in this case is fewer than 3 students and the probability that fewer than three students are able to read is

P(x < 3) = P(x = 0) + P(x = 1) + P(x = 2)

For P(x = 0):

Here we have x = 0, n = 10 and p = 0.25

P(x = 0) = ¹⁰C₀(0.25⁰)(1 - 0.25)¹⁰⁻⁰

P(x = 0) = (1)(0.25⁰)(0.75)¹⁰

P(x = 0) = 0.0563

For P(x = 1):

Here we have x = 1, n = 10 and p = 0.25

P(x = 1) = ¹⁰C₁(0.25¹)(1 - 0.25)¹⁰⁻¹

P(x = 1) = (10)(0.25¹)(0.75)⁹

P(x = 1) = 0.1877

For P(x = 2):

Here we have x = 2, n = 10 and p = 0.25

P(x = 2) = ¹⁰C₂(0.25²)(1 - 0.25)¹⁰⁻²

P(x = 2) = (45)(0.25²)(0.75)⁸

P(x = 2) = 0.28157

Finally,

P(x < 3) = P(x = 0) + P(x = 1) + P(x = 2)

P(x < 3) = 0.0563 + 0.1877 + 0.28157

P(x < 3) = 0.52557

Rounding off yields

P(x < 3) = 0.5256

Therefore, the probability that fewer than three of the students are able to read is 0.5256

If 270°&lt;θ&lt;360°, and tan⁡ θ= - 1/2, what is the value of tan⁡(−θ)?
stiv31 [10]

Check the picture below.

let's recall that once we move an angle in the opposite direction of the 0-line or x-axis, we end up with a negative counterpart angle.

since we know that θ is on the IV Quadrant, then its negative counterpart must be across the line, and tangent is negative on the IV Quadrant, and positive on the I Quadrant.
