P(X< ) 1-P(X> ) A softball pitcher has a 0.626 probability of throwing a strike for each curve ball pitch. If the softball

Answer:

19.49% probability that no more than 16 of them are strikes

Step-by-step explanation:

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

E(X) = np

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that \mu = E(X), \sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}.

In this problem, we have that:

n = 30, p = 0.626

So

\mu = E(X) = np = 30*0.626 = 18.78

\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{30*0.626*0.374} = 2.65

What is the probability that no more than 16 of them are strikes?

Using continuity correction, this is P(X \leq 16 + 0.5) = P(X \leq 16.5), which is the pvalue of Z when X = 16.5. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{16.5 - 18.78}{2.65}

Z = -0.86

Z = -0.86 has a pvalue of 0.1949

19.49% probability that no more than 16 of them are strikes

Ashley puts 45 stamps in an album. She puts the same number of stamps on each page,and 3 stamps on the last page. There are 2 mo
ludmilkaskok [199]
45 pages total
3 on last page
45-3=42
there are 42 on the rest of the pages
on each page, there are 2 more pages in album than then stamps on pages

amount of stamps on pages with equal number of stamps is
A=numberofpgest times number of stamps on pages
number of pages=p
number of stamps per papge=s
a=ps

2 more pages than stamps on pages
p=2+s
total number of stamps per page is s=(45-3)/(p-1)
(what I did is I first got rid of number of stamps on last page, then got rid of the last page)
P=2+s
s=(45-3)/(2+s-1)
s=42/(s+1)
times s+1 both sides
s^2+s=42
minus 42
s^2+s-42=0
factor
(s-6)(s+7)=0
set equal to zero
s-6=0
s=6

s+7=0
s=-7, false, no negative stamps


6 stamps per page

sub
p=2+s
p=2+6
p=8
8 pages

check
last page is 3 so 8-1=7 page left

7*6=42
3+42=45

correct


there are
8 pages in the album
6 stamps per page

Bobby is 28cm shorter than Daniel. Roy is 19 cm taller than Daniel. Find the difference in height between Roy and Bobby.
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

There is a 47cm difference between the two....

So you just added 28cm to 19cm to get 47cm....

Because 19-(-28) is 19 + 28.

Hope this helps :D

A cone has a height of 2.5 in. and a radius of 5 in. What is the volume of the cone? (Use 3.14 for Pi. Round the answer to two d
Stells [14]

Answer:

V =\frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h

And replacing we got:

V = \frac{1}{3} (3.14) (5in)^2 (2.5in) = 65.42 in^3

And the best option would be:

65.42 Inches cubed

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following info given:

h =2.5 in represent the height of the cone

r = 5 in represent the radius

And the volume of the cone is given by;

V =\frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h

And replacing we got:

V = \frac{1}{3} (3.14) (5in)^2 (2.5in) = 65.42 in^3

And the best option would be:

65.42 Inches cubed
