Answer:

<u></u>

  • <u>a) P(X=1) = 0.302526</u>
  • <u>b) P(X=5) = 0.010206</u>
  • <u>c) P(X=3) = 0.18522</u>
  • <u>d) P(X≤3) = 0.92953</u>
  • <u>e) P(X≥5) = 0.010935</u>
  • <u>f) P(X≤4) = 0.989065</u>

Explanation:

Binomial experiments are modeled by the formula:

       P(X=x)=C(n,x)\cdot p^x\cdot (1-p)^{(n-x)}

Where

  • P(X=x) is the probability of exactly x successes

  • C(n,x)=\dfrac{n!}{x!\cdot (n-x)!}

  • p is the probability of one success, which must be the same for every trial, and every trial must be independent of other trial.
  • n is the number of trials
  • 1 - p is the probability of fail
  • there are only two possible outcomes for each trial: success or fail.

<u>a.) P (x=1)</u>

<u></u>

       P(X=1)=\dfrac{6!}{1!\cdot (6-1)!}\times (0.3)^1\times(1-0.3)^{(6-1)}=0.302526

<u>b.) P (x=5)</u>

     P(X=5)=\dfrac{5!}{5!\cdot (6-5)!}\times (0.3)^5\times (1-0.3)^{(6-5)}=0.010206

<u>c.) P (x=3)</u>

Using the same formula:

    P(X=3)=0.18522

<u>d.) P (x less than or equal to 3)</u>

  • P(X≤3)= P(X=3) + P(X=2) + P(X=1) + P(X=0)

Also,

  • P(X≤3) = 1 - P(X≥4) = 1 - P(X=4) - P(X=5) - P(X=6)

You can use either of those approaches. The result is the same.

Using the second one:

  • P(X=4) = 0.059335
  • P(X=5) = 0.010206
  • P(X=6) = 0.000729

  • P(X≤3) = 1 - 0.05935 - 0.010206 - 0.000729 = 0.92953

<u>e.) P(x greather than or equal to 5)</u>

  • P(X≥5) = P(X=5) + P(X=6)
  • P(X≥5) = 0.010206 + 0.000729 =  0.010935

<u>f.) P(x less than or equal 4)</u>

  • P(X≤4) = 1 - P(X≥5) = 1 - P(X=5) - P(X=6)
  • P(X≤4) = 1 - 0.010206 - 0.000729 = 0.989065

0f the 64 students in grade five, 3/8 of them either walk or ride a bike to school. The rest take a bus. How many fifth graders
UkoKoshka [18]
40 fifth graders take a bus to school. 8x8= 64 so they have you a good fraction to start with to find out how many kids are walking or taking their bike (3/8) all you have to do is multiply 3 and 8 which equals 24 to find the fraction of the amount of kids who take the bus you subtract 3 from 8 which gives 5/8 and to get the answer you multiply 5 and 8 which is 40.

The ages in years of eight boys are 14,
SashulF [63]

Answer:

B) 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Average age means to calculate mean:

Mean = (Sum of all numbers)/(Number of numbers)

Mean = (14 + 14.5 + 12 + 11.5 + 15 + 13 + 10.5 + 13.5)/8

Mean = (104)/8

Mean = 13
