What is the formula for the expected number of successes in a binomial experiment with n trials and probability of success p? C

charle [14.2K]

Answer:

$(D)E[ X ] =np.$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a binomial experiment with n trials and probability of success p,

$f(x)=\left(\begin{array}{c}n\\k\end{array}\right)p^x(1-p)^{n-x}, 0\leq x\leq n$

$E(X)=\sum_{x=0}^{n}xf(x)= \sum_{x=0}^{n}x\left(\begin{array}{c}n\\k\end{array}\right)p^x(1-p)^{n-x}$

Since each term of the summation is multiplied by x, the value of the term corresponding to x = 0 will be 0. Therefore the expected value becomes:

$E(X)=\sum_{x=1}^{n}x\left(\begin{array}{c}n\\x\end{array}\right)p^x(1-p)^{n-x}$

Now,

$x\left(\begin{array}{c}n\\x\end{array}\right)= \frac{xn!}{x!(n-x)!}=\frac{n!}{(x-)!(n-x)!}=\frac{n(n-1)!}{(x-1)!((n-1)-(x-1))!}=n\left(\begin{array}{c}n-1\\x-1\end{array}\right)$

Substituting,

$E(X)=\sum_{x=1}^{n}n\left(\begin{array}{c}n-1\\x-1\end{array}\right)p^x(1-p)^{n-x}$

Factoring out the n and one p from the above expression:

$E(X)=np\sum_{x=1}^{n}n\left(\begin{array}{c}n-1\\x-1\end{array}\right)p^{x-1}(1-p)^{(n-1)-(x-1)}$

Representing k=x-1 in the above gives us:

$E(X)=np\sum_{k=0}^{n}n\left(\begin{array}{c}n-1\\k\end{array}\right)p^{k}(1-p)^{(n-1)-k}$

This can then be written by the Binomial Formula as:

$E[ X ] = (np) (p +(1 - p))^{n -1 }= np.$

a triangular sail has sides of 10 ft ,24ft,and 26ft .if the shortest side of a similar sail measures 6ft , what is the measure o

Katarina [22]

Answer:

15.6 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the sails are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal.

Comparing the shortest sides, that is

10 : 6 = 5 : 3

let the longest side be x, then using proportion

$\frac{26}{5}$ = $\frac{x}{3}$ ( cross- multiply )

5x = 78 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = 15.6

The longest side is 15.6 ft

If your cell phone bill was 67 Point $82 and there is a 7.5% late fee how much will your bill be with the late fee included

Ivenika [448]

$\frac{7.5}{100} = \frac{x}{82} \\ x = \frac{82 \times 7.5}{100} = \frac{615}{100 } = 6.15$
$82 + 6.15 = 88.15$
the answer is $88.15
