Answer:

(a) \mu_X=1.2, \sigma_X=0.8485, \sigma^{2} _X=0.72

(b) \mu_X=4, \sigma_X=0.8944, \sigma^{2} _X=0.8

(c) \mu_X=1.5, \sigma_X=1.0247, \sigma^{2} _X=1.05

(d) \mu_X=3.2, \sigma_X=0.8, \sigma^{2} _X=0.64

Step-by-step explanation:

A binomial random variable counts how often a particular event occurs in a fixed number of tries or trials.

For a binomial random variable X, we can use these formulas for mean, standard deviation, and variance:

\mu_X=np

\sigma_X=\sqrt{np(1-p)}

\sigma^{2} _X=np(1-p)

Applying the above formulas we get,

(a) n = 3, p = 0.4

\mu_X=3\cdot 0.4=1.2

\sigma_X=\sqrt{3\cdot 0.4(1-0.4)}=0.8485

\sigma^{2} _X=3\cdot \:0.4\left(1-0.4\right)=0.72

(b) n = 5, p = 0.8

\mu_X=5\cdot 0.8=4

\sigma_X=\sqrt{5\cdot 0.8(1-0.8)}=0.8944

\sigma^{2} _X=5\cdot \:0.8\left(1-0.8\right)=0.8

(c) n = 5, p = 0.3

\mu_X=5\cdot 0.3=1.5

\sigma_X=\sqrt{5\cdot 0.3(1-0.3)}=1.0247

\sigma^{2} _X=5\cdot \:0.3\left(1-0.3\right)=1.05

(d) n = 4, p = 0.8

\mu_X=4\cdot 0.8=3.2

\sigma_X=\sqrt{4\cdot 0.8(1-0.8)}=0.8

\sigma^{2} _X=4\cdot \:0.8\left(1-0.8\right)=0.64

The Sun hits a 30 foot flagpole at a 60° angle and casts an unobstructed 52 foot shadow. If a building is built 32 feet away, wh
aivan3 [116]

Answer: 11.5 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the shadow of the building = length of the shadow - distance of the building

= 52 - 32

= 20

Let the height the shadow strike the side of the building be h

then by similar shape rule

h / 20 = 30 / 52

52h = 30 x 20

52h = 600

h = 600/52

h = 11.53846154

h ≈ 11.5

The ratio of girls to boys in Liza's classroom is 5 to 4.
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Hi!

The answer is: 15 girls.

__________________________________________________________

Let

x-----> the number of girls

y-----> the number of boys

we know that

- x+y=27, Which is equation A.

- x/y = 5/4

- isolate the variable y

- y=4/5x, Which is equation B.

- 9/5x=27

- x=5x27/9

- 15 Girls.

__________________________________________________________

Hope this helps!
