Answer:

The king left his castle with 44 silver coins.

Step-by-step explanation:

A king left his castle with a bag of silver coins and he gave his coins to 3 peasants in an order. Finally he went home with two coins left.

To solve this question we calculate it in reverse order.

Finally the king has in his bag = 2 coins

Before it he met third peasant king had =

= (2+2) × 2

= 4×2 = 8

Before the king met third peasant, he had 8 coins.

Before he met Second peasant king had :

= (8+2) × 2

= 10 × 2 = 20

Before he met second peasant king had 20 coins.

Before he met first peasant he had :

= (20+ 2) × 2

= 22 × 2 = 44

Before King met first peasant he had 44 silver coins.

Which line plot displays a data set with an outlier?<br><br> Plz answer quickly!
iren2701 [21]
The answer is the first data set because remember, an outlier is a number in a data set that is extremely far away from all of the other numbers.

You can easily tell which one is the outlier, the first data set's outlier is 13, because it is was placed so far away from the other data points.

We know that the first data set is correct because all of the other data sets have numbers that are clustered together.

Let X be a discrete random variable with geometric distribution.
 Let x be the number of tests and p the probability of success in each trial, then the probability distribution is:
 P (X = x) = p * (1-p) ^ (x-1). With x = (1, 2, 3 ... n).
 This function measures the probability P of obtaining the first success at the x attempt.
 We need to know the probability of obtaining the first success at the third trial.
  Where a success is defined as a customer buying online.
 The probability of success in each trial is p = 0.3.
 So:
 P (X = 3) = 0.3 * (1-0.3) ^ (3-1)
 P (X = 3) = 0.147
 The probability of obtaining the first success at the third trial is 14.7%
