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

Solve for x round to the nearest tenth.
lesantik [10]

Answer:

x ≈ 15.9

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle

x² + 6² = 17²

x² + 36 = 289 ( subtract 36 from both sides )

x² = 253 ( take the square root of both sides )

x = \sqrt{253} ≈ 15.9 ( to the nearest tenth )
