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

in the equation x+3y=6, suppose the x-intercept was at (m,0) and the y- intercept was at the ordered pair (0,n). what is the val
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

The x intercept is when y = 0

x + 3(0) = 6

x = 6

So (6,0) and m = 6

the y intercept is when x = 0

0 + 3y = 6    Divide by 3

y = 6/3

y = 2

the y intercept is (0,2) and n = 2

Answer

m + n = 6 + 2 = 8
