No. When you plug in x and y you get 2=3
Part A
Use the binomial probability distribution formula.
p = 0.54 = probability of getting a purple marble
n = 5 = sample size
x = 2 = number of purple we want to get

The
portion is from the nCr combination formula. The exclamation marks indicate a factorial.
Alternatively, you could use Pascal's Triangle for that portion.
<h3>Answer: 0.283831776</h3>
This decimal value is exact. Round it however you need to.
============================================================
Part B
To find the expected value, aka the mean, we multiply the sample size and probability of getting a purple marble on any single selection.
n*p = 5*0.54 = 2.7
<h3>Answer: 2.7</h3>
Answer:Y=3
Step-by-step explanation:
An architect plans to make a drawing of the room of a house. The segment LM represents the ceiling of the room. He wants to construct a line passing through Q and perpendicular to side LM to represent a wall of the room. He uses a straightedge and compass to complete some steps of the construction, as shown below:
