According to a survey, 40% of adults watch a particular television show. Six adults are selected at random. The binomial distrib

ution below shows the probability that k out of 6 adults watch the television show.
P(k = 0) = 0.0467
P(k = 1) = 0.1866
P(k = 2) = 0.3110
P(k = 3) = 0.2765
P(k = 4) = 0.1382
P(k = 5) = 0.0369

The distribution is
a) symmetric.
b) skewed.
c) both symmetric and skewed.

The sum of the probabilities is:

Answer:

The distribution is  

b) skewed.

The sum of the probabilities is:

1

Step-by-step explanation:

In a binomial distribution, p represents the probability of success. Success in the sense that the event of interest happens. In the model presented, the probability of success p is 0.4 since we are informed that 40% of adults watch a particular television show.

The next quantity of significance in a binomial model is the number of independent trials, n. In our case there are 6 independent trials since we are told that 6 adults were selected at random. If we let the random variable K denote the number of adults out of the 6 who watch the television show, then K is a binomial random variable with parameters;

n = 6 and p = 0.4

A binomial distribution is only symmetric when either p is 0.5 or n is large. In the presented scenario none of this conditions is met since p is 0.4 while n is just 6 which is relatively small. Thus we conclude that the distribution is not symmetric but rather skewed.

The sum of the probabilities is any discrete probability distribution such as the bernoulli, binomial, negative binomial, poisson, or the geometric distribution is always equal to 1. That's a rule of thumb.

The grocery store is located at a point on a coordinate plane with the same y-coordinate as the bank but with the opposite x-coo
Alexxandr [17]
Across the y axis. This question becomes easier if you graph it out in your head. Let's say the bank is at (2,2). Because the grocery store has an opposite x coordinate, the bank would be at (-2,2). If you look at this in your head, they are not even on different sides of the x axis, and therefore must be reflected across the y axis.

The dose of a strong cough medicine might be which of the following? 2mL, 200mL, 2L
Margarita [4]
To find the answer,we can picture how much the above value is by objects in real life.

2mL = about two drops of water

200mL = about a carton of milk/ a box of ornage juice

2L = 2000 × 10 mL = 20000 mL = The bottle of drinks that are in family/party size.

As we only take in small dosages of medicine, the best option would be 2mL.

Hope it helps!
