Answer:

X \sim Binom(n=10, p=0.30)

And we want to find this probability:

P(X=3)

And using the probability mass function we got:

P(X=3) = (10C3) (0.3)^3 (1-0.3)^{10-3]= 0.2668

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A Bernoulli trial is "a random experiment with exactly two possible outcomes, "success" and "failure", in which the probability of success is the same every time the experiment is conducted". And this experiment is a particular case of the binomial experiment.

The binomial distribution is a "DISCRETE probability distribution that summarizes the probability that a value will take one of two independent values under a given set of parameters. The assumptions for the binomial distribution are that there is only one outcome for each trial, each trial has the same probability of success, and each trial is mutually exclusive, or independent of each other".

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:  

P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}  

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:  

nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}  

The complement rule is a theorem that provides a connection between the probability of an event and the probability of the complement of the event. Lat A the event of interest and A' the complement. The rule is defined by: P(A)+P(A') =1

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable of interest "workers that take public transportation daily", on this case we now that:

X \sim Binom(n=10, p=0.30)

And we want to find this probability:

P(X=3)

And using the probability mass function we got:

P(X=3) = (10C3) (0.3)^3 (1-0.3)^{10-3]= 0.2668

<h2>Answer:</h2><h3>W = 5</h3><h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3><h3>Simplify the brackets. </h3><h3>-2x^2 + wx - 4 - x^2 - 5x - 6 = -3x^2 - 10</h3><h3>Then simplify (-2x^2 + wx - 4 - x^2 - 5x - 6) to </h3><h3>( -3x^2 + wx - 10 - 5x)</h3><h3>This will give you 3x^2 + wx - 10 - 5x = -3x^2 - 10. </h3><h3>Now you need to cancel out -3x^2 on both sides. </h3><h3>wx - 10 - 5x = -10</h3><h3>Then cancel out -10 from both sides. </h3><h3>wx - 5x = 0</h3><h3>Now factor out the common term. (x) </h3><h3>w - 5 = 0.</h3><h3>giving you the answer w = 5. </h3><h3 /><h3 /><h3>welcome. *yeets*</h3>

Determine the x- and y-intercepts of the graph of y=1/4x−2 .
KATRIN_1 [288]
To find the x-intercept, put in 0 for the y.

0=1/4x-2
2=1/4x
8=x

The x-intercept is 8. The point is (8, 0).

To find the y-intercept, put in 0 for the x.

y=1/4(0)-2
y=0-2
y=-2

The y-intercept is -2. The point is (0, -2).

To graph, find the points on a coordinate plane and draw a straight line through them.

Hope this helps!

gladu [14]
You just have to cross multiply. 20 x 285 = 5700. 5700 / 95 = 60.

He will run 60km
