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.

What is the area of the 50ft by 100ft yard?
mario62 [17]

Answer: 4410 ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of a square or rectangle, all you need to do is multiply the length times the width:

L × W = A

The lengh is 100, and the width is 50

100 × 50 = 5000

However, in this problem, we also have other shapes in the rectangle. To find the area of JUST the green, we need to subtract the areas of the two circles and small blue rectangle.

First, let's get the two circles over with. To find the area of a circle, use this formula:

A = πr^2      r is the radius, which in this case, is 6

A = π6^2

A = 113       This isn't the exact answer, the exact answer would be 113.0973...

Now let's multiply the area of one of those circles by 2, since we have 2 circles:

113 × 2 = 226

Finally, we have to find the area of the blue rectangle. This is simple, just use the formula from the very beginning:

26 × 14 = 364

The last thing to do is to subtract the areas of the two circles and blue rectangle from the area of the entire thing:

5000 - (226 + 364) = 4410 ft^2
