Here is the set up:

(1/4)/2 = (9/4)/y

Solve for y.

Using the binomial distribution, the probabilities are given as follows:

0.3675 = 36.75% probability that more than 4 weigh more than 20 pounds.

0.1673 = 16.73% probability that fewer than 3 weigh more than 20 pounds.

Since P(X > 7) < 0.05, it would be unusual if more than 7 of them weigh more than 20 pounds.

<h3>What is the binomial distribution formula?</h3>

The formula is:

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

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

The parameters are:

x is the number of successes.

n is the number of trials.

p is the probability of a success on a single trial.

The values of the parameters for this problem are:

n = 10, p = 0.4.

The probability that more than 4 weigh more than 20 pounds is:

$P(X > 4) = 1 - P(X \leq 4)$

In which:

$P(X \leq 4) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4)$

Then:

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

$P(X = 0) = C_{10,0}.(0.4)^{0}.(0.6)^{10} = 0.0061$

$P(X = 1) = C_{10,1}.(0.4)^{1}.(0.6)^{9} = 0.0403$

$P(X = 2) = C_{10,2}.(0.4)^{2}.(0.6)^{8} = 0.1209$

$P(X = 3) = C_{10,3}.(0.4)^{3}.(0.6)^{7} = 0.2150$

$P(X = 4) = C_{10,4}.(0.4)^{4}.(0.6)^{6} = 0.2502$

Hence:

$P(X \leq 4) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) = 0.0061 + 0.0403 + 0.1209 + 0.2150 + 0.2502 = 0.6325$

$P(X > 4) = 1 - P(X \leq 4) = 1 - 0.6325 = 0.3675$

0.3675 = 36.75% probability that more than 4 weigh more than 20 pounds.

The probability that fewer than 3 weigh more than 20 pounds is:

P(X < 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) = 0.0061 + 0.0403 + 0.1209 = 0.1673

0.1673 = 16.73% probability that fewer than 3 weigh more than 20 pounds.

For more than 7, the probability is:

$P(X > 7) = P(X = 8) + P(X = 9) + P(X = 10)$

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

$P(X = 8) = C_{10,8}.(0.4)^{8}.(0.6)^{2} = 0.0106$

$P(X = 9) = C_{10,9}.(0.4)^{9}.(0.6)^{1} = 0.0016$

$P(X = 10) = C_{10,10}.(0.4)^{10}.(0.6)^{0} = 0.0001$

Since P(X > 7) < 0.05, it would be unusual if more than 7 of them weigh more than 20 pounds.

I need this urgently!! I need by 7:15!!

Sati [7]

The question is telling you that the length of the rectangle is 3 metres more than twice the width.

So let:

<em>w= width</em>

<em>L= length</em>

Because the length is 3 metres more than twice<em> </em>the width: <em>L= </em><em>2</em><em>w+</em><em>3</em>

They also tell you the perimeter is 48 metres.

<em>P= L+L+w+w</em>

So the equation of the perimeter is:

<em>48= (2w+3)+(2w+3)+2w +2w</em>

<em>48= 2(2w+3) + 4w</em>

To find w, expand and simplify.

<em>48= 4w+6+4w</em>

<em>48= 8w + 6</em>

<em>42= 8w</em>

<em>5.25=w</em>

Now that you know the width, plug in the value into the length equation:

<em>L= 2w+3</em>

<em>L=2(5.25)+3</em>

<em>L=10.50+3</em>

<em>L=13.5</em>

If I am wrong let me know! I hope this helps.

Write an equation parallel to x - 3y = 9 that passes through the point ( 3, -1 )

ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the point-slope formula.

y - y_1 = m(x - x_1) .... x_1 = 3 and y_1 = - 1

m is the slope to x - 3y = 9 because (lines are parallel )

calculate : m by equation x - 3y = 9 :

x = 3y +9

divid by : 3 1/3 x = y + 3

y = (1/3) x - 3 so : m = 1/3

an equation parallel to x - 3y = 9 that passes through the point ( 3, -1 ) is :

y +1 = (1/3)(x - 3)
