Answer:

0.1971 ( approx )

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X represents the event of weighing more than 20 pounds,

Since, the binomial distribution formula is,

P(x)=^nC_r p^r q^{n-r}

Where, ^nC_r=\frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}

Given,

The probability of weighing more than 20 pounds, p = 25% = 0.25,

⇒ The probability of not weighing more than 20 pounds, q = 1-p = 0.75

Total number of samples, n = 16,

Hence, the probability that fewer than 3 weigh more than 20 pounds,

P(X

=^{16}C_0 (0.25)^0 (0.75)^{16-0}+^{16}C_1 (0.25)^1 (0.75)^{16-1}+^{16}C_2 (0.25)^2 (0.75)^{16-2}

=(0.75)^{16}+16(0.25)(0.75)^{15}+120(0.25)^2(0.75)^{14}

=0.1971110499

\approx 0.1971

Whats equivalent to 1/5
Juli2301 [7.4K]
To find equivalent numbers you multiply the top and bottom by the same number. Examples are: 2/10 (by 2), 3/15 (by 3), 4/20 (by 4), etc.

1 * 9 = 9
------------
5 * 9 = 45

So another is 9/45

hope it helps!

One of the roots of the equation x2−5x+q=0 is 2. Find the other root and the value of the coefficient q.
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

q=6

Step-by-step explanation:

A root can be plugged in for X, so 2(2)-5(2)+q=0. This means -6+q=0. We can now even them out and know q=6

Line a passes through that point (-8,-7) and has a slope of 5/8. Choose the equation that best represents A
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

y = 5/8 x -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the slope of the line, m=5/8, which passes through the point (-8,-7).

Let the equation of the line be y=mx+c

where m is the slope of the line and c is a constant.

As m=5/8, so the equation of line become

y= 5/8x+c

As the line passes through the point (-8,-7), so putting y= -7 and x= -8, we have

-7 = 5/8(-8)+c

-7 = -5 + c

c= -7 + 5

c= -2

On putting the value of c, the equation of line become

y=5/8 x -2

Hence, the equation of the line is y = 5/8 x -2.
