Answer and Step-by-step explanation: P(X) calculated by the binomial probability formula is:

P(X) = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}n\\X\end{array}\right].p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(20) = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}53\\20\end{array}\right] .(0.3)^{20}.(1-0.3)^{33}

P(20) = \frac{53!}{33!.20!}.3.5.10^{-11}.7.7.10^{-6}

P(20) = 0.0552

To determine whether the normal distribution can be used to estimate this probability, both n.p and n.(1-p) must be greater than 5:

n . p = 53*0.3 = 15.9

n.(1-p) = 53(1-0.3) = 37.1

Since both ARE greater than 5, normal distribution can be used.

To approximate:

mean = n . p = 15.9

standard deviation = \sqrt{n.p.(1-p)} = 3.34

Find the z-score:

z = \frac{x - mean}{sd} = \frac{20-15.9}{3.34} = 1.23

z-score = 0.8907

Comparing values:

0.8907 - 0.0552 = 0.8355

Please help Which of the following inequalities is graphed on the coordinate plane?
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

The inequality which represents the graph is y ≤ -2x + 1 ⇒ A

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the question you must know some facts about inequalities

  • If the sign of inequality is ≥ or ≤, then it represents graphically by a solid line
  • If the sign of inequality is > or <, then it represents graphically by a dashed line
  • If the sign of inequality is > or ≥, then the area of the solutions should be over the line
  • If the sign of inequality is < or ≤, then the area of the solutions should be below the line

Let us study the graph and find the correct answer

∵ The line represented the inequality is solid

∴ The sign of inequality is ≥ or ≤

→ That means the answer is A or B

∵ The shaded area is the area of the solutions of the inequality

∵ The shaded area is below the line

∴ The sign of inequality must be ≤

→ That means the correct answer is A

∴ The inequality which represents the graph is y ≤ -2x + 1

The line through (-2, 3) with slope 2/3 in point slope form​
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

y - 3 = 2/3(x + 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

slope = 2/3

point-slope form --> y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 3 = 2/3(x - -2)

y - 3 = 2/3(x + 2)

point slope form of the line is y - 3 = 2/3(x + 2)

What is the first step when solving the following inequality x+2/-5&lt;4? Group of answer choices A. Add 5 to both sides and DO
LiRa [457]

Assuming we're dealing with \frac{x+2}{-5} < 4, which is the same as writing (x+2)/(-5) < 4, then the answer is choice C.

We multiply both sides by -5 and this will flip the inequality sign.

-------------------------------------

Multiplying or dividing both sides by a negative number flips the inequality sign.

An example would be saying -2x < 10 leads to x > -5

What we can do is divide both sides by -2 and flip the inequality sign, or we could follow the steps shown below

  • -2x < 10
  • 0 < 10+2x ... adding 2x to both sides
  • -10 < 2x ... subtracting 10 from both sides; this is one way to see why the sign flip happens
  • 2x > -10
  • x > -10/2 ..... dividing both sides by 2
  • x > -5
