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!

John is at a local bait shop; he wants to buy bait for his fishing trip. At the store, they are selling live bait for $12 a poun
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

x\geq3

12x+7y\leq63

y\geq0

Step-by-step explanation:

If we let x be the amount of live bait and y be the amount of natural bait, Then we can come up with the following inequalities;

We are told that John would like to get at least 3 pounds of live bait. At least 3 means 3 or more. Since x represents the amount of live bait, we have;

x\geq3

Moreover,we are informed that;

The store sells live bait for $12 a pound and natural bait for $7 a pound. x pounds of live bait would cost 12x while y pounds of natural bait would cost 7y. The total cost would thus be;

12x + 7y

but John only has a budget of $63. This implies that he can spend $63 at most, thus;

12x+7y\leq63

Finally we can have our last inequality as;

y\geq0
