There are 10 cards. Each card has one number between 1 and 10, so that every number from 1 to 10 appears once.
pychu [463]

Answer:

When a card is chosen at random with replacement five times, X is the number of times a prime number is chosen.          Here the card is chosen with replacement.  This implies probability for choosing a prime number remains the same as the previously drawn card is replaced.

The sample space= {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10}

Prime numbers = {2,3,5,7}

Prob for drawing prime number = 4/10 = 0.4

is the same when replacement is done.

Also there are two outcomes either prime or non prime.  Hence in this case, X the no of times a prime number is chosen, is binomial with p =0.4 and q = 0.6 and n=5


When a card is chosen at random without replacement three times, X is the number of times an even number is chosen.

Prob for an even number = 0.5

But after one card drawn say odd number next card has prob for even number as 5/9 hence each draw is not independent of the other.  Hence not binomial.

When a card is chosen at random with replacement six times, X is the number of times a 3 is chosen.

Here since every time replacement is done, probability of drawing a 3 remains constant = 1/10 = 0.3

i.e. each draw is independent of the other and there are only two outcomes , 3 or non 3. Hence here X is binomial.

When a card is chosen at random with replacement multiple times, X is the number of times a card is chosen until a 5 is chosen

Here X is the number of times a card is chosen with replacement till 5 is chosen.  This is not binomial.  Here probability for drawing nth time correct 5 is  P(non 5 in the first n-1 draws)*P(5 in nth draw) = 0.1^(n-1) (0.9)

Because nCr is not appearing i.e. 5 cannot appear in any order but only in the last draw, this is not binomial.

Can someone please explain?
GREYUIT [131]

The function y = x, called the "identity" or "ramp" function, is a basic function that you'll need to add to your math vocabulary. Since the " x " here seems to have no exponent, fix that by thinking "x^1," or "x to the first power," or "y=x is a linear function."

The graph of y=x always goes thru the origin. It begins in the 3rd quadrant and ends in the 1st, and appears as a straight line with slope of m = rise / run = 1/1 = 1.

Choose the equation that best represents the general form of the following expression. x^2/2 = 7x. - x2 + 14x + 0, x2 + 14x = 0,
kogti [31]
Cross multiplying we get
x^2 = 2*7x
x^2 = 14x
x^2 - 14x = 0  is the answer

The probability is 0.1458.

The probability is given by:

_{20}C_2(0.04)^2(1-0.04)^{20-2}
\\
\\=_{20}C_2(0.04)^2(0.96)^{18}=0.1458

There are eight girls competing in an ice-skating competition. In how many ways can they finish in first, second, and third plac
docker41 [41]
Since we need to find the number of ways they could enter first, second and third place, (I can't demonstrate, but you should get the idea) take 8, 7 and 6 and multiply them, 5-1 we don't need, we just need 8, 7, and 6, multiply those three numbers and you get 336, there you go, 336 ways to organize all 8 girls in first, second and third place, hope this helps
