Answer:
a) P(X≥6) = 0.9614
b) P(7≤ X ≤9) = 0.628
c) P(X≤5) = 0.0386
Step-by-step explanation:
This can be solved using the binomial distribution formula:
P(X=x) = ⁿCₓ pˣ qⁿ⁻ˣ
Where p = probability of success
q = probability of failure = 1-p
n = number of trials
x = number of successful trials
We have p = 70% = 0.7
n = 12
a) Find the probability that the number who disapprove of smoking pot daily is no less than 6 i.e. P(X≥6). This can be calculated as:
P(X≥6) = 1 - P(X<6)
= 1 - [P(X=0) + P(X=1) + P(X=2) + P(X=3) + P(X=4) + P(X=5)]
= 1 - [¹²C₀ (0.7)⁰(0.3)¹² + ¹²C₁ (0.7)¹(0.3)¹¹ + ¹²C₂ (0.7)²(0.3)¹⁰ + ¹²C₃ (0.7)³(0.3)⁹ + ¹²C₄ (0.7)⁴(0.3)⁸ + ¹²C₅ (0.7)⁵(0.3)⁷]
= 1 - (0.000000531 + 0.0000148 + 0.0001909 + 0.00148 + 0.00779 + 0.02911)
= 1 - 0.0386
P(X≥6) = 0.9614
b) P(7≤ X ≤9) = P(X=7) + P(X=8) + P(X=9)
= ¹²C₇ (0.7)⁷(0.3)¹²⁻⁷ + ¹²C₈ (0.7)⁸(0.3)¹²⁻⁸ + ¹²C₉ (0.7)⁹(0.3)¹²⁻⁹
= 0.158 + 0.231 + 0.239
P(7≤ X ≤9) = 0.628
c) P(X≤5) = P(X=0) + P(X=1) + P(X=2) + P(X=3) + P(X=4) + P(X=5)
= ¹²C₀ (0.7)⁰(0.3)¹² + ¹²C₁ (0.7)¹(0.3)¹¹ + ¹²C₂ (0.7)²(0.3)¹⁰ + ¹²C₃ (0.7)³(0.3)⁹ + ¹²C₄ (0.7)⁴(0.3)⁸ + ¹²C₅ (0.7)⁵(0.3)⁷
P(X≤5) = 0.0386
Answer:
44
Step-by-step explanation:
For the shaded bit all you need to do is 8.5 × 6.
if you are to get the other bit then do 8.5 × 8
if it is to be both then just do that and add them together
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1. the slope is -7/2
2. the slope is 2/3
y = mx + b
m is the slope
It could be 17/24 but you may need to simplify
