Mason has 22 tickets now. You can know this because you divide 176 by 8

Every time I use a piece of scrap paper, I crumple it up and try to shoot it inside the recycling bin across the room. I'm prett

Using the binomial distribution, it is found that there is a 0.0012 = 0.12% probability at least two of them make it inside the recycling bin.

<h3>What is the binomial distribution formula?</h3>

The formula is:

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

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

The parameters are:

x is the number of successes.

n is the number of trials.

p is the probability of a success on a single trial.

With 5 shoots, the probability of making at least one is $\frac{211}{243}$ , hence the probability of making none, P(X = 0), is $\frac{232}{243}$ , hence:

$(1 - p)^5 = \frac{232}{243}$

$\sqrt[5]{(1 - p)^5} = \sqrt[5]{\frac{232}{243}}$

1 - p = 0.9908

p = 0.0092

Then, with 6 shoots, the parameters are:

n = 6, p = 0.0092.

The probability that at least two of them make it inside the recycling bin is:

$P(X \geq 2) = 1 - P(X < 2)$

In which:

[P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)

Then:

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

$P(X = 0) = C_{6,0}.(0.0092)^{0}.(0.9908)^{6} = 0.9461$

$P(X = 1) = C_{6,1}.(0.0092)^{1}.(0.9908)^{5} = 0.0527$

Then:

P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.9461 + 0.0527 = 0.9988

$P(X \geq 2) = 1 - P(X < 2) = 1 - 0.9988 = 0.0012$

0.0012 = 0.12% probability at least two of them make it inside the recycling bin.

The probability that Caroline wins a raffle is given by the expression

RSB [31]

Answer: $\frac{n-m}{n}$

This is the same as writing (n-m)/n

Don't forget about the parenthesis if you go with the second option.

==================================================

Explanation:

The probability that she wins is m/n, where m,n are placeholders for positive whole numbers.

For instance, m = 2 and n = 5 leads to m/n = 2/5. This would mean that out of n = 5 chances, she wins m = 2 times.

The probability of her not winning is 1 - (m/n). We subtract the probability of winning from 1 to get the probability of losing.

We could leave the answer like this, but your teacher says that the answer must be "in the form of a combined single fraction".

Doing a bit of algebra would have these steps

$1 - \frac{m}{n}\\\\\frac{n}{n} - \frac{m}{n}\\\\\frac{n-m}{n}\\\\$

and now the expression is one single fraction.

Write an equation of the line in slope-intercept form: y-intercept of 2, x-intercept of 4

zvonat [6]

Answer:

$\sf y=-\dfrac12x+2$

Step-by-step explanation:

y-intercept is when x = 0, so (0, 2)

x-intercept is when y = 0, so (4, 0)

$\sf slope=\dfrac{change\:in\:y}{change\:in\:x}=\dfrac{0-2}{4-0}=-\dfrac12$

Slope-intercept form of linear equation: $\sf y=mx+b$

(where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept)

Given:

$\sf m=-\dfrac12$
b = 2

$\sf \implies y=-\dfrac12x+2$
