Answer:

a) P(X=3)=(7C3)(0.38)^3 (1-0.38)^{7-3}=0.28378  

b) P(X\leq 4) =P(X=0)+P(X=1)+P(X=2) +P(X=3)+P(X=4)

P(X=0)=(7C0)(0.38)^0 (1-0.38)^{7-0}=0.0352  

P(X=1)=(7C1)(0.38)^1 (1-0.38)^{7-1}=0.1511  

P(X=2)=(7C2)(0.38)^2 (1-0.38)^{7-2}=0.2778  

P(X=3)=(7C3)(0.38)^3 (1-0.38)^{7-3}=0.28378  

P(X=4)=(7C4)(0.38)^4 (1-0.38)^{7-4}=0.17393  

And adding we got:

P(X \leq 4) = 0.92181

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts  

The binomial distribution is a "DISCRETE probability distribution that summarizes the probability that a value will take one of two independent values under a given set of parameters. The assumptions for the binomial distribution are that there is only one outcome for each trial, each trial has the same probability of success, and each trial is mutually exclusive, or independent of each other".  

Solution to the problem  

Let X the random variable of interest, on this case we now that:  

X \sim Binom(n=7, p=0.38)  

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:  

P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}  

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:  

nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}  

Part a

For this case we want this probability

P(X=3)

And using the pmf we got:

P(X=3)=(7C3)(0.38)^3 (1-0.38)^{7-3}=0.28378  

Part b

P(X\leq 4) =P(X=0)+P(X=1)+P(X=2) +P(X=3)+P(X=4)

P(X=0)=(7C0)(0.38)^0 (1-0.38)^{7-0}=0.0352  

P(X=1)=(7C1)(0.38)^1 (1-0.38)^{7-1}=0.1511  

P(X=2)=(7C2)(0.38)^2 (1-0.38)^{7-2}=0.2778  

P(X=3)=(7C3)(0.38)^3 (1-0.38)^{7-3}=0.28378  

P(X=4)=(7C4)(0.38)^4 (1-0.38)^{7-4}=0.17393  

And adding we got:

P(X \leq 4) = 0.92181

A weight lifter can bench press 189 kg. How many milligrams (mg) is this?
Inessa [10]

A weight lifter can bench press 189 kg. How many milligrams (mg) is this?

Answer: We know that:

1kg=1,000,000 mg

We are given, that a weight lifter can bench press 189 kg

Therefore, a weight lifter can bench press:

189 \times 1,000,000 mg

189,000,000mg

18.9 \times 10^{7} mg

Therefore, 18.9 \times 10^{7} mg is equal to the 189 kg

use elimination to solve. For a production of sweeney Todd in Las Vegas, orchestra seats cost $42 and mezzanine seats cost $25.
lidiya [134]

They bought 8 orchestra seats and 6 mezzanine seats.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of one orchestra seat = $42

Cost of one mezzanine seat = $25

No. of people = 14

Amount spent = $486

Let,

x be the number of orchestra seats

y be the number of mezzanine seats

According to given statement;

x+y=14     Eqn 1

42x+25y=486    Eqn 2

Multiplying Eqn 1 by 25;

25(x+y=14)\\25x+25y=350\ \ \ \ Eqn\ 3

Subtracting Eqn 3 from Eqn 2 to eliminate y;

(42x+25y)-(25x+25y)=486-350\\42x+25y-25x-25y=136\\17x=136

Dividing both sides by 17

\frac{17x}{17}=\frac{136}{17}\\x=8

Putting x=8 in Eqn 1

8+y=14\\y=14-8\\y=6

They bought 8 orchestra seats and 6 mezzanine seats.
