The probability is 0.337.

The probability that more than 3 prefer brand c is the same as finding the probability that 4 or 5 prefer brand c.  Using a binomial distribution,

_5C_4(0.6)^4(0.4)^{5-4}+_5C_5(0.6)^5(0.4)^{5-5}
\\
\\=\frac{5!}{4!1!}(0.6)^4(0.4)^1+\frac{5!}{5!0!}(0.6)^5(0.4)^0
\\
\\=5(0.6)^4(0.4)+1(0.6)^5(1)=0.33696\approx0.337

Consider the parent function f(x) = x^2 and the transformed function f(x) =- 5(x - 4)^2 – 8. Identify the
madam [21]

Given:

The parent function is

f(x)=x^2

Consider the transformed function is g(x) instead of f(x) because both functions are different.

g(x)=-5(x-4)^2-8

Step-by-step explanation:

We have,

f(x)=x^2

g(x)=-5(x-4)^2-8

It can be written as

g(x)=-5f(x-4)-8            ...(i)

The translation is defined as

g(x)=kf(x+a)+b                .... (ii)

Where, k is stretch factor, a is horizontal shift and b is vertical shift.

If 0<|k|<1, then the graph compressed vertically by factor k and if |k|>1, then the graph stretch vertically by factor k.

If k is negative, then f(x) is reflected across the x-axis to get g(x).

If a>0, then the graph shifts a units left and if a<0, then the graph shifts a units right.

If b>0, then the graph shifts b units up and if b<0, then the graph shifts b units down.

On comparing (i) and (ii), we get

a=-4, f(x) shifts 4 units right.

b=-8, f(x) shifts 8 units down.

k=-5, it is negative so f(x) reflected across the x-axis.

|k|=|-5|=5>1, so f(x) stretched vertically by factor 5.

Therefore, the function f(x) reflected across the x-axis, stretched vertically by factor 5 and shifted 4 units right 8 units down to get g(x).

In which graph is y not a function of x
balu736 [363]

A function is a relation that associates each element x of a set X, to a single element y of another set Y.

Circle is not a function of x. For x = 0 we have y = -7 and y = 7.

In answering a question on a multiple-choice test, a student either knows the correct answer or guesses it. Let 0.7 be the proba
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

The probability is 0.9211

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call K the event that the student know the answer, G the event that the student guess the answer and C the event that the answer is correct.

So, the probability P(K/C) that a student knows the answer to a question, given that she answered it correctly is:

P(K/C)=P(K∩C)/P(C)

Where P(C) = P(K∩C) + P(G∩C)

Then, the probability P(K∩C) that the student know the answer and it is correct is:

P(K∩C) = 0.7

On the other hand, the probability P(G∩C) that the student guess the answer and it is correct is:

P(G∩C) = 0.3*0.2 = 0.06

Because, 0.3 is the probability that the student guess the answer and 0.2 is the probability that the answer is correct given that the student guess the answer.

Therefore, The probability P(C) that the answer is correct is:

P(C) = 0.7 + 0.06 = 0.76

Finally, P(K/C) is:

P(K/C) = 0.7/0.76 = 0.9211
