What makes this a binomial distribution and what is the probability?

How do we know to use a binomial distribution here? Based on these three reasons:

  1. Each event is independent. Each tire puncture is independent of any other puncture. The probability of puncture is constant at p = 0.00005 (there are four zeros between the decimal point and the 5).
  2. There are a fixed number of trials. In this case, there are n = 10,000 trials.
  3. There are two outcomes. Either a tire is punctured, or it is not punctured.

Answer:

Probability at least one car will get punctured: 0.39347

Step-by-step explanation:

B(10,000 , 0.00005)

P(X ≥ 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)

            = 1 - (1 - 0.00005)^10,000

            = 1 - (0.99995)^10,000

            = 1 - 0.60652...

            = 0.39347 (probability that at least one car will get punctured)

As you can tell P(X ≥ 1) as we have to solve for the probability that at least one car will get punctured. That is of course 1 - [ P(X = 0) ].

Jasper made a flag for his football team. He painted 1/2 of the flag blue and 1/2 of the flag yellow. He added stars to 1/3 of t
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

For this case we have that half of the flag was painted blue and the other half yellow.

In addition, a third of the blue half was covered with stars.

So:

\frac {1} {2} * \frac {1} {3} = \frac {1} {6}

A sixth of the flag is blue with stars.

Answer:

\frac {1} {6}

The formula for the circumference of a circle is c= 2pi r, where r is the radius. Rearrange the formula to solve for our and sel
ratelena [41]

Answer:  r = C/(2pi)

This is the same as writing r = \frac{C}{2\pi}

=========================================================

Explanation:

pi is some number (approximately 3.14) which means 2pi is also some number (roughly 6.28)

Saying c = 2pi*r means we have 2pi times r, and the result is the circumference c. To isolate r, we'll undo the multiplication. We'll undo it by dividing both sides by 2pi like so

C = 2pi*r

C/(2pi) = r

r = C/(2pi)

in which we can write it like r = \frac{C}{2\pi}

So whatever C is, we divide it over 2pi (aka roughly 6.28) to get the radius.

-----------------

Extra Info (Optional Section):

As an example, let's say the circumference of the circle is 628 feet. This means the distance around the circle is 628 feet. So C = 628 would lead to...

r = C/(2pi)

r = C/(6.28)

r = 628/(6.28)

r = 100

So the radius would be roughly 100 feet.
