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

Hello there!
Goryan [66]

(x^2+3)^2 + 7x^2+21=-10

We want to convert this equation in terms of m, where m = x^2+3

While solving this problem, I instantly noticed the x^2+3 in the first term of the equation. Replace that with m.

m^2 + 7x^2+21=-10

Simplifying the rest is not as obvious. Using the distributive property, we can change [7x^2+21] to [7(x^2+3)]

Do you see the "m" in here? Look again if you don't.

Now we can simplify the equation to m^2 + 7m=-10 and this cannot be simplified further.

I'm always happy to help someone who appreciates the help! :D

A club had a total of $1,520.50 in its bank account .

At a budget meeting they decide to set aside 0.12 times the total amount to travel.

so we have to find 0.12 times of $1,520.50

0.12 * 1520.50=182.46

so they will set aside $182.46 to travel
