According to the Sydney Morning Herald, 40% of bicycles stolen in Holland are recovered. (In contrast, only 2% of bikes stolen i

n New York City are recovered.) Find the probability that, in a sample of 6 randomly selected cases of bicycles stolen in Holland, exactly 2 out of 6 bikes are recovered. Find the nearest answer.

Answer:

Probability that exactly 2 out of 6 bikes are recovered is 0.31.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that according to the Sydney Morning Herald, 40% of bicycles stolen in Holland are recovered.

Also, there is a sample of 6 randomly selected cases of bicycles stolen in Holland.

The above situation can be represented through Binomial distribution;

P(X=r) = \binom{n}{r}p^{r} (1-p)^{n-r} ; x = 0,1,2,3,.....

where, n = number of trials (samples) taken = 6 cases of bicycles

            r = number of success = exactly 2

           p = probability of success which in our question is % of bicycles

                 stolen in Holland that are being recovered, i.e; 40%

<em>LET X = Number of bikes recovered</em>

So, it means X ~ Binom(n=6, p=0.40)

Now, Probability that exactly 2 out of 6 bikes are recovered is given by = P(X = 2)

   P(X = 2) = \binom{6}{2}0.40^{2} (1-0.40)^{6-2}

                 = 15 \times 0.40^{2} \times 0.60^{4}

                 = 0.31

Therefore, Probability that, in a sample of 6 randomly selected cases of bicycles stolen in Holland, exactly 2 out of 6 bikes are recovered is 0.31.

Answer:

0.31104

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that according to the Sydney Morning Herald, 40% of bicycles stolen in Holland are recovered.

If X represents the number of bicyles stolen in Sydney, X is binomial

because each cycle to be stolen is independent of the other.

Also there are two outcomes

n = 6, p = 0.40

Required probability = the probability that, in a sample of 6 randomly selected cases of bicycles stolen in Holland, exactly 2 out of 6 bikes are recovered

==P(X=2)

=6C2 (0.4)^2 (0.6)^4\\= 15(0.16)(0.6)^4\\=0.31104

Volume of the cone: 1/3 of area of the circle * the height
(1/3)π5²*5=(125/3)π
volume of the cylinder: area of the circle *the height: π5²*10=250π
add up: (125/3)π+(125/3)π+250π≈1047.2

A particular algebra text has a total of 1382 pages which is broken into two parts the second part of the book has 64 more pages
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

the first part of the book has 659 pages and the second part has 723 pages

Step-by-step explanation:

First we have to raise 2 equations, one that shows us the relationship between one part of the book and the other, and another equation that shows us that together they give us the total of pages

x = second part

y = first part

x = y + 64

x + y = 1382

As the first equation tells us that x = y + 64 we will replace x in the second equation with (y + 64)

x + y = 1382

(y + 64) + y = 1382

y + y = 1382 - 64

2y = 1318

y = 1318/2

y = 659

now we replace in the first equation to y by its value

x = y + 64

x = 659 + 64

x = 723

so the first part of the book has 659 pages and the second part has 723

(4x+1)(3x-7) yup it hurts
musickatia [10]

Answer:

12x^2-25x-7

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply each term by its counterpart in the parenthesis.

4x*3x and 4x*-7

1*3x and 1*-7

This gives you 12x^2-4x*7+3x-7 when the like terms are combined.

Collect the like terms, which will give you 12x^2-25x-7
