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

Comparing Relationships with Tables1. Decide whether each table could represent a proportional relationship.If the relationship
yan [13]

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form y=kx

where

k is the constant of proportionality

Verify each table

table a

Let

x ----> distance

y ----> sound level

For each ordered pair calculate the value of k

k=y/x

so

(5,85) -----> k=85/5=17

(10,79) ----> k=79/10=7.9

the values of k are differents

that means

the table nor represent a proportional relationship

table b

let

x ----> volume

y ----> cost

k=y/x

(16,1.49) ----> k=1.49/16=0.093125

(20,1.59) ----> k=1.59/20=0.0795

the values of k are differents

that means

the table nor represent a proportional relationship

A manufacturer of tires wants to advertise a mileage interval that ex-cludes no more than 10% of the mileage on tires he sells.
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

This mileage interval is from 30120 miles and higher.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

All he knows is that, for a large number of tires tested, the mean mileage was 25,000 miles, and the standard deviation was 4000 miles. This means that \mu = 25000, \sigma = 4000.

A manufacturer of tires wants to advertise a mileage interval that ex-cludes no more than 10% of the mileage on tires he sells. What interval wouldyou suggest?

The lower end of this interval is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.90.  That is Z = 1.28.

So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

1.28 = \frac{X - 25000}{4000}

X - 25000 = 4000*1.28

X = 30120

This mileage interval is from 30120 miles and higher.

Jose' traveled from his home in Ocala to Gainesville. Gainesville is 37 miles
Alja [10]

Answer:

The integer -37 represents the direction and the distance covered by Jose from Gainesville to Ocala.

Step-by-step explanation:

The direction is represented by the sign that accompanies the distance, since Jose is returning from Gainesville, then the direction must represented by a minus sign (-), since he is travelling southwards. The distance is the magnitude of the length covered by Jose during his return. Hence, distance is represented by the natural number 37.

Finally, the integer -37 represents the direction and the distance covered by Jose from Gainesville to Ocala.
