Answer:

y + 7 = - $\frac{2}{3}$ (x - 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

Where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

Here m = - $\frac{2}{3}$ and (a, b) = (1, - 7), thus

y - (- 7) = - $\frac{2}{3}$ (x - 1), that is

y + 7 = - $\frac{2}{3}$ (x - 1) ← in point- slope form

Answer:

a) $P(X=13)=(24C13)(0.4)^{13} (1-0.4)^{24-13}=0.0608$

$P(X=17)=(24C17)(0.4)^{17} (1-0.4)^{24-17}=0.0017$

$P(X=13 U X=17) = 0.0608+0.0017=0.0624$

b) $P(X \geq 17)=0.000427$

c) $P(X \geq 16)= 1-0.000427=0.9996$

d) $E(X)= np = 22*0.4=8.8$

e) $Var(X) = np(1-p)= 22*0.4*(1-0,4)=5.28$

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Previous concepts

The binomial distribution is a "DISCRETE probability distribution that summarizes the probability that a value will take one of two independent values under a given set of parameters. The assumptions for the binomial distribution are that there is only one outcome for each trial, each trial has the same probability of success, and each trial is mutually exclusive, or independent of each other".

2) Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable of interest, on this case we now that:

$X \sim Binom(n=24, p=0.4)$
