Answer:

31.77% probability the surgery is successful for exactly five patients.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each patient, there are only two possible outcomes. Either the surgery is successful, or it is not. The probability of the surgery being successful for a patient is independent of other patients. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

A surgical technique is performed on seven patients.

This means that n = 7

You are told there is a 70% chance of success.

This means that p = 0.7

Find the probability the surgery is successful for exactly five patients.

This is P(X = 5).

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 5) = C_{7,5}.(0.7)^{5}.(0.3)^{2} = 0.3177

31.77% probability the surgery is successful for exactly five patients.

ohaa [14]

Answer:

  TRUE

Step-by-step explanation:

A quadratic equation can be found that will go through any three distinct points that ...

  • satisfy the requirements for a function
  • are not on the same line

_____

The key word here is "may." You will not be able to find a quadratic intersecting the three points if they do not meet both requirements above.

In 1995, Orlando, Florida, was about 175,000. At the time, the population was growing at a rate of about 2000 per year. Write an
gladu [14]

Answer:

y= 2000 * x + 175000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given is Population is 175,000

Increase in rate = 2000/year

Let x be the population in 1995 which is C= 175,000

y= Population after per year

We know the formula for slope intercept form is

y= mx + C     ............... (i)

Now from the suppose values and given

m= 2000

Now putting values in equation (i) gives

y= 2000 * x + 175000

Here x is the No of years

This is the picture to my last question. sorry
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The point A has coordinates (5, 1) so the image of A which is A' has

coordinates (5 - 2,  1+3)

= (3, 4).

B', C' and D' are calculated in the same way.

So B' is (4, 1),

C' = (3, 2) and

D' = (2, 1)
