Answer:

P(x

Step-by-step explanation:

If we call x the number of correct questions obtained in the 9 attempts, then:

x is a discrete random variable that can be modeled by a binomial probability distribution p, with n = 9 trials.

So, the p of x successes has the following formula.

P(x) =\frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}*p^x(1-p)^{n-x}

Where:

n = 9

p = 0.6

We are looking for P(x<4)

By definition:

P(x

Then:

P(x\leq3)=\sum_{x=0}^{3} \frac{9!}{x!(9-x)!}*(0.6)^x(1-0.6)^{9-x}

P(x\leq3)=0.0994

Write an equation of the line below.
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer (<u>assuming it can be in slope-intercept form)</u>:

y = \frac{4}{5} x

Step-by-step explanation:

1) First, find the slope of the line. Use the slope formula m = \frac{y_2-y_1 }{x_2-x_1} and substitute the x and y values of two points on the line into it. We can see that the line passes through (0,0) and (5,4), so let's use those points for the formula and solve:

m = \frac{4-0}{5-0} \\m = \frac{4}{5}

So, the slope is \frac{4}{5}.

2) Next, identify the y-intercept of the line. The y-intercept is the point at which the line intersects the y-axis. We can see that the line intersects the y-axis at (0,0), so that must be the y-intercept.

3) Now, write the equation of the line in slope-intercept form using the y = mx + b format. The number in place of m represents the slope, so substitute \frac{4}{5} in its place. The number in place of b represents the y-intercept, so substitute 0 in its place. This gives the following answer and equation:

y =\frac{4}{5} x+0\\y = \frac{4}{5} x

maw [93]

Answer:

0, 5/4

Step-by-step explanation:

If k=0, you get 0=0, which is obviously true.

As long as K is not 0, you can divide by k and get 4k=5 which is solved by k=5/4

Which quadrant is (8, -1) in?
lisabon 2012 [21]
It’s in the 4th quadrant because the x value is 8 (positive ) so its on the right but the y value is -1 (negative) so it’s below the x-axis
