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.

(7,5), (r,9) m=6<br><br> What is r?
Igoryamba

Answer:

The answer is that r = 7/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given point: (7, 5)

Given slope: m = 6

Use the point slope form of the equation:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 5 = 6(x - 7)

y - 5 = 6x - 7

y = 6x + 2

Now, find r for the point (r, 9) by substitution:

9 = 6x + 2

6x + 2 = 9

6x = 7

x = 7/6

Proof:

y = 6x + 2

f(x) = 6x + 2

f(7/6) = 6(7/6) + 2

= 42/6 + 2

= 7 + 2 = 9, giving (7/6, 9). r = 7/6

Hope this helps! Have a great day!

Eliminate the parameter.<br><br><br>x = 5t, y = t + 8 (2 points)
maxonik [38]

Answer: y = \frac{1}{5}x + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

       This is asking us to remove the parameter. In other words, we want an equation with only the relation between x and y, so we need to remove the t. There are a few ways to do this, but I am going to set one equation equal to t and then plug it into the next one.

     Given:

x = 5t

    Divide both sides of the equation by 5:

t = \frac{1}{5}x

     -

    Given:

y = t + 8

    Plug in:

y = (\frac{1}{5}x) + 8

    Answer:

y = \frac{1}{5}x + 8
