Answer:

We assume that we have a fair coin that is p(Head)=p(Tails)=0.5

For this case we define the random variable X as "number of heads observed in 20 times". The distribution for X is given by:

X \sim Binom(n=20, p=0.5)

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:

P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:

nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A Bernoulli trial is "a random experiment with exactly two possible outcomes, "success" and "failure", in which the probability of success is the same every time the experiment is conducted". And this experiment is a particular case of the binomial experiment.

The binomial distribution is a "DISCRETE probability distribution that summarizes the probability that a value will take one of two independent values under a given set of parameters. The assumptions for the binomial distribution are that there is only one outcome for each trial, each trial has the same probability of success, and each trial is mutually exclusive, or independent of each other".

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:  

P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}  

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:  

nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}  

Solution to the problem

We assume that we have a fair coin that is p(Head)=p(Tails)=0.5

For this case we define the random variable X as "number of heads observed in 20 times". The distribution for X is given by:

X \sim Binom(n=20, p=0.5)

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:

P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:

nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}

Which equation represents the line that passes through the points (6,-3) and (-4,-9)?
Citrus2011 [14]
I will give in y=mx+b and ax+by=c form

using point slope form
y-y1=m(x-x1)
where the slope is m and a point on that line is (x1,y1)

slope between 2 points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is (y2-y1)/(x1-x1)

given
(6,-3) and (-4,-9)
slope=(-9-(-3))/(-4-6)=(-9+3)/(-10)=-6/-10=3/5
a point is (6,-3)

y-(-3)=3/5(x-6)
y+3=3/5(x-6)
y+3=3/5x-18/5
y=3/5x-33/5
-3/5x+y=-33/5
3x-5y=33


equation is
y=3/5x-33 or
3x-5y=33 or
y+3=3/5(x-6) or
y+9=3/5(x+4)

dangina [55]

Answer: (644 - 200) / 12 = x

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of albums Floyd sold, first, subtract $200 dollars (the base rate) from his total profit of $644. This gives you a result of $444. Then, divide $444 by $12 (the amount made per album sold) to get a result of 37 albums sold. The equation for this is (644 - 200) / 12 = x.
