This is a problem in "binomial probability."  Either the archer hits his target or he does not.  This experiment is performed 5 times (so that n=5), and the probability that the archer will hit the target is 0.7 (so that p=0.7).

We need to find the binomial probability that x=3 when the possible outcomes are {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5}.

You could use a table of binomial probabilities to evaluate the following:

P(5, 0.7, 3).

Alternatively, you could use a TI-83 or TI-84 calculator and its built-in "binompdf(  " function.

I evaluated binompdf(5,0.7,3) and obtained the result 0.309.

qaws [65]

Answer:

choice 3)

JK = 3.51

WK = 9.15

∠J = 69°

Step-by-step explanation:

sin 21° = JK/9.8

0.3584 = JK/9.8

cos 21° = WK/9.8

0.9336 = WK/9.8

WK = 9.15

∠J = 90° - 21° = 69°

Janice thinks that 20 hundredths is equivalent to 2 thousandths because 20 hundreds is equal to 2 thousands. Use words and a pla
sattari [20]
20 hundredths = 20/100 = 0,2
2 thousandths = 2/1000 = 0,002

20 hundreds = 20 * 100 = 2000
2 thousands = 2 * 1000 = 2000

20 hundreds is equal to 2 thousands, however 20 hundreths is not equal to 2 thousandths. 2 in the 0,2 is 100 times greater than 2 in 0,002.

Find the future value of 1000 at 7 % interest compounded annually for 10 years.​
ser-zykov [4K]

The future value of 1000 with annual compounding for 10 years is $1967.15.

The formula for calculating with annual compounding is:  

FV = P (1 + r)^n  

  • FV = Future value  
  • P = the amount deposited
  • R = interest rate  
  • N = number of years  

1000 x (1.07)^10 = $1967.15
