A new surgical procedure is said to be successful 60% of the time. Suppose the operation is performed five times and the results

are assumed to be independent of one another. What are the probabilities of these events? (Round your answers to three decimal places.) (a) all five operations are successful (b) exactly three are successful (c) less than two are successful

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

Sara is trying to find an equation for a line that passes through (5, 2) and is perpendicular to 3x + 2y = 15. Explain the steps
Anettt [7]
Not on your list, but an easy way is
.. a) swap coefficients of x and y, negating one. (Now you have 2x -3y.)
.. b) set any constant term to zero (now you have 2x -3y = 0)
.. c) translate the line to the point (5, 2) by substituting x ⇒ x-5, y⇒ y-2
2(x -5) -3(y -2) = 0


The way you've been taught, selection C is the proper choice.

Help me on this please
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

x = 3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangle to the right:

4^2 + x^2 = 8^2

16 + x^2 = 64

y^2 = 48

Triangle to the left:

x^2 + 6^2 = 48

x^2 + 36 = 48

x^2 = 12

x = sqrt(12)

x = 3.5
