In general, the most probable distribution is in the ratio of the respective types, namely
Number of blue tails
=12*(53/(53+40))
=6.84
To check between 6 or 7, we use the hypergeometric distribution:

P(B=6)
=C(40,6)C(53,6)/(C(93,12)
=3838380*22957480/416579843773639
=0.211530
P(B=7)
=C(40,5)C(53,7)/(C(93,12)
=658008*154143080/416579843773639
=65563917120/269282381237
=0.243476

Hence the most probable number of blue tail fishes is 7


Note: it would be prudent to calculate P(B=8)=0.194443 to show that P(B=7) is indeed the highest value.

marishachu [46]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In the first pattern, there were 6 sticks

In the second pattern, there were 10 sticks.

In the third pattern, there were 14 sticks.

Based on the pattern, we see that each time, 4 more sticks are added and that the initial amount of stick is 6.

Thus: the equation for how many sticks there would be in pattern n is:

# of sticks in pattern n = 6 + 4n

Question No. 4 The area of an equilateral triangle is half the area of a rhombus which in turn is equal to one third the area of
____ [38]

The ratio of the length of each side of the triangle to that of the hexagon is

<h3>What is equilateral triangle?</h3>

The triangle which has all the three sides equal in dimension is called the equilateral triangle.

According to the question,

Area of triangle = Area of rhombus = Area of hexagon

1/2 base x height = 1/2 diagonal1 xdiagonal2 = (3√3 / 2) side²

The triangle has equal base and height = a.

The hexagon has each side measuring b.

1/2 a² = (3√3 / 2) b²

Ratio of sides of triangle and hexagon is

a²/b² = 3√3

a/b = √ 5.19615

a/b = 2.2795

Thus, the ratio of each side of the triangle to that of the hexagon is 2.2795.
