500cakes is 100%
x cakes is 5%

500 x 5 = 2500
2500/100 = 25

There was 25 vanilla cupcakes

A tennis player makes a successful first serve 51% of the time. If she serves 9 times, what is the probability that she gets exa

aleksley [76]

Answer:

$P(X=3)$

And we can use the probability mas function and we got:

$P(X=3)=(9C3)(0.51)^3 (1-0.51)^{9-3}=0.1542$

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:

$X \sim Binom(n=9, p=0.51)$

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:

$nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}$

And we want this probability:

$P(X=3)$

And we can use the probability mas function and we got:

$P(X=3)=(9C3)(0.51)^3 (1-0.51)^{9-3}=0.1542$

Carlotta collects stamps. She owns f stamps from France and 15 more than twice this amount of American stamps. Which expression

Digiron [165]

Answer:

D: 2f+15

Step-by-step explanation:

f is the number of stamps from France that Carlotta owns.

Twice this amount is 2f

Then, 15 more than twice this amount is 2f + 15, and this is the expression that represents the number of American stamps that Carlotta owns
