Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

In this example you are interested to know how many matrimonies and up in divorce.

The study variable is X: number of marriages that ended up in divorce in a sample of nine.

This variable is a discrete variable and a quick check will tell you if it follows the binomial criteria, if it does, then the variable will have binomial distribution:

Binomial criteria:

1. The number of observation of the trial is fixed (n = 9)

2. Each observation in the trial is independent, this means that none of the trials will affect the probability of the next trial.

3. The probability of success in the same from one trial to another (the "success" of the trial is that the matrimony ended up in divorce and it's estimated probability is p=0.40

So X≈ Bi (n;ρ)

You have to calculate the probability that at least one of the marriages end in divorce, this is that "one or more" of the marriages end in divorce, symbolically:

P(X≥1)

This expression includes the probabilities P(X=1), P(X=2), P(X=3), P(X=4), P(X=5), P(X=6), P(X=7), P(X=8), P(X=9).

One way to calculate this is by applying the formula for calculating point probabilities under the binomial distribution P(X)= \frac{n!}{(n-X)!X1}*(p^X)*(q^n-X) nine times and then add them or you can use a table of the binomial distribution. These tables show cumulative probabilities for many distributions, P(X≤x₀)

To reach the probability value using the table you have to do the following:

P(X≥1)= 1 - P(X<1)

One is the max cumulative probability, so you have to subtract from it everything that isn't included in the expression, the only probability that is "left out" from P(X≥1) is P(X=0), in the table you have to look for the probability of P(X≤0)= 0.0101, then you calculate the probability as follow:

P(X≥1)= 1 - P(X<1)= 1 - P(X≤0)= 1 - 0.0101= 0.9899

I hope this helps!

8251 is 127% of what number? Round to the nearest tenth, if necessary.
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

<em>6497</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

127% is the same as 1.27

Let the number be x.

127% of a number x is the same as 1.27x.

1.27x = 8251

x = 6497

The number is 6497.

What are the first five terms in the<br> recursive sequence defined by the<br> following?
kolezko [41]

The first five terms of the sequence are {0, -1.4, -2.8, -4.2, -5.6}

<h3>Recursive function</h3>

Given the nth term of a recursive expression shown below

an =an-1 - 1.4

where

an-1 is the preceding term

a1 is the first term

an is the nth term

an-1 is

Given the following

a1 = 0

For the second term a2

a2 = 0 - 1.4

a2 = -1.4

For the third term a3

a3 = -1.4 - 1.4

a3 = -2.8

For the fourth term a4

a4 = -2.8 - 1.4

a4 = -4.2

For the fifth term a2

a5 = -4.2 - 1.4

a5 = -5.6

Hence the first five terms of the sequence are {0, -1.4, -2.8, -4.2, -5.6}

Find the sin in the triangle
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

.324 or 18.9 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

rule is

sine equals opposite over hypotenuse,

cosine equals adjacent over hypotenuse, and

tangent equals opposite over adjacent

OR

soh cah toa

sine = soh = 12/37 = .324

arcsin(.324) or sin^-1(.324) in DEGREES not radians =

18.9 degrees
