Answer:

1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is essentially (# times a specific event occurs) / (# times any general event occurs).

Here, the "specific event" is selecting a multiple of four. The multiples of 4 from 1 to 20 are: 4, 8, 12, 16, and 20 - there are 5 of these. So, the number of times the specific event can occur is 5.

The "general event" is selecting any number out of the 20. Since there are 20 numbers, then there are 20 ways that a general event occurs.

So, the probability is 5/20 = 1/4.

Answer: There is a 5 in 20 chance that he will select a multiple of 4.  This can also be represented as a percentage as in 25% because 5 out of 20 is the same as 25%

Step-by-step explanation: I got my answer by first figuring out all of the multiples of 4 in 20.  The multiples of 4 are 4, 8, 12, 16, and 20.  Since there are 5 different multiples that means there are 5 different slips of paper that he can choose that would fulfill the requirements of the given question out of the 20 slips of paper.  I got my percentage because 5/20 is the same as 25/100 which is 25%

Inessa [10]

Answer:

In order to find x, you will have to use the operation of equality to isolate the x.


15x=-10

<em>Now, use the division property of equality and divide by 15 on both sides. This will cancel out the 15 on the left side of the equation and isolate the x completely.</em>

-10/15=\frac{-2}{3}

<em>Thus, this is your answer:</em>

\boxed{x=-\frac{2}{3} }

Answer:

<h2>10 inches</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Hypotenuse = h

h^2 = 8^2 + 6^2

h^2 = 64 + 36

h^2 = 100

h = √100

h = 10

For each given p, let Z have a binomial distribution with parameters p and N. Suppose that N is itself binomially distributed wi
8090 [49]

Explanation:

Lets interpret Z with M trials. First we have M trials, each trial can be a success or not. The number of success is called N. Each trial that is a success becomes a trial, and if it is a success it becomes a success for Z. Thus, in order for a trial to be successful, it needs first to be successful for the random variable N (and it is with probability q), and given that, it should be a success among the N trials of the original definition of Z (with probability p).

This gives us that each trial has probability pq of being successful. Note that this probability is pq independently of the results of the other trials, because the results of the trials of both N and the original definition of Z are independent. This shows us that Z is the total amount of success within M independent trials of an experiment with pq probability of success in each one. Therefore, Z has Binomial distribution with parameters pq and M.
