In a survey of adults who follow more than one sport, 30% listed football as their favorite sport. You survey 15 adults who foll

Answer: 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Binomial probability formula :-

P(x)=^nC_x\ p^x(q)^{n-x}, where P(x) is the probability of getting success in x trials , n is the total trials and p is the probability of getting success in each trial.

Given : The probability that the adults follow more than one game = 0.30

Then , q= 1-p = 1-0.30=0.70

The number of adults surveyed : n= 15

Let X be represents the adults who follow more than one sport.

Then , the probability that fewer than 4 of them will say that football is their favorite sport,

P(X\leq4)=P(x=0)+P(x=1)+P(x=2)+P(x=3)+P(x=4)\\\\=^{15}C_{0}\ (0.30)^0(0.70)^{15}+^{15}C_{1}\ (0.30)^1(0.70)^{14}+^{15}C_{2}\ (0.30)^2(0.70)^{13}+^{15}C_{3}\ (0.30)^3(0.70)^{12}+^{15}C_{4}\ (0.30)^4(0.70)^{11}\\\\=(0.30)^0(0.70)^{15}+15(0.30)^1(0.70)^{14}+105(0.30)^2(0.70)^{13}+455(0.30)^3(0.70)^{12}+1365(0.30)^4(0.70)^{11}\\\\=0.515491059227\approx0.5

Hence, the probability rounded to the nearest tenth that fewer than 4 of them will say that football is their favorite sport =0.5

Find the equation of the linear function 'g' going through (20,5) and (-5,-8). Use 'u' for your input variable.
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

  • See below

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Use the slope-intercept form, which will be in this case:</u>

  • g(u) = mu + b, where m is the slope, b is the y- intercept

<u>Find the slope:</u>

  • m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)
  • m=(-8-5)/(-5-20)=(-13)/(-25)=13/25

<u>Find the value of the y-intercept:</u>

  • 5=1/25*20+b
  • b=5-4/5=21/5

<u>The equation is:</u>

  • g(u)=\frac{13}{25} u+\frac{21}{5}

(a) Suppose you have 9 gold coins that look identical, but you also know one (and only one) of them is counterfeit. The counterf
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You can split the coins into 3 groups, each of them has 3 coins. Weigh group 1 vs group 2, if one is lighter, that group has the fake coin. If both groups weigh the same, then group 3 has the fake coin.

Continue to split the group that has the fake coin into 3 groups, each group has 1 coin. Now apply the same procedure and we can identify the fake coin.

Total of scale usage is 2

b) if you have 3^n coins then you can apply the same approach and find the fake coin with just n steps. By splitting up to 3 groups each step, after each step you should be able to narrow down your suspected coin by 3 times.

Step 1: you narrow down to group of \frac{3^n}{3} = 3^{n-1} coins

Step 2: you narrow down to group of \frac{3^{n-1}}{3} = 3^{n-2} coins

Step 3: you narrow down to group of \frac{3^{n-2}}{3} = 3^{n-3} coins

...

Step n: Step 1: you narrow down to group of 3^{n-n} = 3^0 = 1coin

Answer:

The correct answer is x = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

All vertical lines can we written in terms of x = (a number). You can find this number in the ordered pair under the x-coordinate. In this case it is -5.
