Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for binomial distribution is expressed as

P(x = r) = nCr × p^r × q^(n - r)

Where

x represent the number of successes.

p represents the probability of success.

q = (1 - p) represents the probability of failure.

n represents the number of trials or sample.

From the information given,

p = 36.5% = 36.5/100 = 0.365

q = 1 - p = 1 - 0.365

q = 0.635

n = 15

a) P(x = 0) = 15C0 × 0.365^0 × 0.635^(15 - 0) = 0.0011

P(x = 1) = 15C1 × 0.365^1 × 0.635^(15 - 1) = 0.0095

P(x = 2) = 15C2 × 0.365^2 × 0.635^(15 - 2) = 0.038

P(x = 3) = 15C3 × 0.365^3 × 0.635^(15 - 3) = 0.095

P(x = 4) = 15C4 × 0.365^4 × 0.635^(15 - 4) = 0.16

P(x = 5) = 15C5 × 0.365^5 × 0.635^(15 - 5) = 0.21

k P(X = k)

0 0.0011

1 0.0095

2 0.038

3 0.095

4 0.16

5 0.21

b) mean = np = 15 × 0.365 = 5.475

c) standard deviation = √npq

= √15 × 0.365 × 0.635

= 1.86

d) z = (x - mean)/standard deviation

x = 2

z = (2 - 5.475)/1.86 = - 1.87

Rewrite the equation in slope-intercept form. x=4y+2
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

y = x/4 - 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b

Step 1: Write equation

x = 4y + 2

Step 2: Subtract 2 on both sides

x - 2 = 4y

Step 3: Divide both sides by 4

x/4 - 1/2 = y

A square pyramid. The square base has side lengths of 6 inches. The 4 triangular sides have a base of 6 inches and height of 9 i
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

The area of the pyramid’s base is 36 in².

The pyramid has 4 lateral faces.  

The surface area of each lateral face is 27 in².

Step-by-step explanation:

"<u>Lateral</u>" means side, so the lateral faces are <u>triangles</u>.

The <u>base</u> is the bottom, which is a <u>square</u>.

To calculate the <u>area of the base</u>, use the formula for area of a square.

A_{base} = s^{2}

A_{base} = (6 in)^{2}

A_{base} = 36 in^{2}

To calculate the <u>area of a lateral face</u>, find the area of a triangle.

A_{lateral} = \frac{bh}{2}

A_{lateral} = \frac{(6 in)(9 in)}{2}

A_{lateral} = \frac{54 in^{2}}{2}

A_{lateral} = 27 in^{2}

In a pyramid, the number of lateral faces is the same as the number of sides in the base. <u>The square base as 4 sides, so there are 4 lateral faces</u>.

Arnie's car used 100 cups of gasoline during a drive.He paid $3.12 per gallon of gas.How much did the gas cost?
Elan Coil [88]
There are 16 cups in a gallon. Divide 100 into 16 to get 6.25. You now just multiply 3.12 by 6.25 to get 19.5. Your answer is $19.50. Hope this helps!
