In a class of 100 students, 25 students have hardcover and 75 students have paperback textbooks for the course. If you randomly

choose 10 students in this class, fnd the probability that 2 of them have hardcover texts in the following ways: a. the exact probability b. approximate probability using a binomial distribution

h = prob of hardcover = .25

p = prob of paperback = .75

a.

Prob(2 hardcover of 10) = (10 choose 2) (.25)^2 (.75)^8

= ( 10(9)/2 ) (1/4^10) (1^2 3^8)

= 295245/1048576

≈ 28.15%

b.

I think I just did the binomial distribution.  We can approximate it as a normal distribution. The mean and variance in this case are computed thus:

N=10, n=2

μ = Np = 2.5

σ² = Npq = 1.875

σ = 1.3693

P(n) = 1/(σ√2π)e^-(n-μ)/(2σ²)

P(2) = 1/(1.3693√2π)e^-(2 - 2.5)/(2 (1.875))

P(2) = 33.3%

Pretty good, not great.

the equation y=0.5x represents the distance henry hikes, in miles, over time, in hours. the graph represents the rate that clark
zheka24 [161]

I think there's supposed to be a picture here. Anyway, you can find out by finding the slope of the line on the graph and comparing it to .5 which is Henry's slope. If the graphed slope is larger than .5 then Clark hikes faster, if it is less than .5, Henry hikes faster.

Hope this helps :)

what is the point slope form for slope of -7 and the point (3,4) and what is the slope intercept form for slope of 3/8 and the p
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

y-4=-7(x-3) and y=-3/8x-8

Step-by-step explanation:

Point slope form: y-y1=m(x-x1)

the slope is already -7.

We can the just plug in the values: y-4=-7(x-3)

For the 2nd problem we can plug in values as well: -2=3/8(16)+b.

-2=6+b. the y intercept is -8. The final form is y=-3/8x-8
