Answer:

0.07776, 0.3456,0.08704

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a new surgical procedure is said to be successful 60% of the time

Let X be the no of successes

Then X has only two outcomes and each trial is independent of the other

Hence X is binomial with p = prob of success in a single trial = 0.60

n = Number of operations performed = 5

Prob that

a) all five operations are successful =

P(X=5)\\= (0.6)^5\\=0.07776

(b) exactly three are successful

=P(X=3) = 5C3 (0.6)^3(0.4)^2\\= 0.3456

(c) less than two are successful

==P(X

Describe the process of rewriting the expression Please Help
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

x^{\frac{21}{4} }

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression is:

(\sqrt[8]{x^7} )^{6}

First we will use the rule:

\sqrt[n]{x} = x^{\frac{1}{n} }

So for the given expression:

\sqrt[8]{x^{7}}=(x^{7} )^{\frac{1}{8} }

We will use tha property of multiplication on powers:

=x^{7*\frac{1}{8} }

= x^{\frac{7}{8} }

Applying the outer exponent now

(x^{\frac{7}{8} })^6

= x^{\frac{7}{8}*6 } \\= x^{\frac{42}{8} }\\= x^{\frac{21}{4} }
