So 20% is 1/5 as a percent.
So 1/5 multiplied by 5 equals 5/5, or 1.
So if 1/5 = 6, then 6 multiplied by 5, or 30, must equal 5/5, or 1.
So the total number of dolls in Amyia's doll collection is 30.
4(a+12)=32
4a+48=32
4a=-16
a=-4
Let X be a discrete random variable with geometric distribution.
Let x be the number of tests and p the probability of success in each trial, then the probability distribution is:
P (X = x) = p * (1-p) ^ (x-1). With x = (1, 2, 3 ... n).
This function measures the probability P of obtaining the first success at the x attempt.
We need to know the probability of obtaining the first success at the third trial.
Where a success is defined as a customer buying online.
The probability of success in each trial is p = 0.3.
So:
P (X = 3) = 0.3 * (1-0.3) ^ (3-1)
P (X = 3) = 0.147
The probability of obtaining the first success at the third trial is 14.7%
Answer:
The answer is 3x because 3 times 4 is 12, and 12+3=15.
