Answer:
The probability is 0.0428
Step-by-step explanation:
First, let's remember that the binomial distribution is given by the formula:
where k is the number of successes in n trials and p is the probability of success.
However, the problem tells us that when there isn't a number of trials fixed, we can use the geometric distribution and the formula for getting the first success on the xth trial becomes:
The problem asks us to find the probability of the first success on the 4th trial (given that the first subject to be a universal blood donor will be the fourth person selected)
Using this formula with the parameters given, we have:
p = 0.05
x = 4
Substituting these parameters in the formula and solving it, we get:
Therefore, the probability that the first subject to be a universal blood donor is the fourth person selected is 0.0428 or 4.28%
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
2y + 4 = 0 <em>subtract 4 from both sides</em>
2y = -4 <em>divide both sides by 2</em>
y = -2
The slope-intercept form of an equation of a line:
y = mx + b
m<em> - slope</em>
b<em> - y-intercept → (0, </em><em>b</em><em>)</em>
In the equation
y = -2
<em>slope: </em><em>m = 0</em>
<em>y-intercept: </em><em>b = -2 → (0, -2)</em>
<em />
<em>y = -2 - it's a horizontal line</em>
