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

The blades of a helicopter's propeller are perpendicular and congruent. The distance between consecutive blade tips is 24 feet.

Check the picture below.

now, recall, both blades are congruent, thus a = b, so c² = a² + b² -> c² = b² + b².

Sean bought a box of graham crackers for $3.99. He also bought 3 bags
leonid [27]
Answer:

$3.08

Explanation:

You subtract 3.99 from 13.23 which equals 9.24. Because there are three bags of marshmallows, divide 9.24 by 3, which equals $3.08.
