 <span>To minimize the perimeter you should always have a square. 
sqrt(289) = 17 
The dimensions should be 17 X 17 

To see , try starting at length 1, and gradually increase the length. 
The height decreases at a faster rate than the length increases, up until you reach a square. 

Or if you want to use algebra, Say the width is 17-x 
Then the length is 289/(17-x) 

Now, this is bigger than 17+x, as shown here: 
289/(17-x) > 17+x 
289 > 289 - x^2 
which is true. 
so the perimeter would be bigger than 2 * (17- x + 17 + x) = 2 * (2 * 17) = 4 * 17 

Again, the dimensions should be a square. 17 X 17.</span>

What is the formula for the expected number of successes in a binomial experiment with n trials and probability of success​ p? C
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

(D)E[ X ] =np.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a binomial experiment with n trials and probability of success​ p,

f(x)=\left(\begin{array}{c}n\\k\end{array}\right)p^x(1-p)^{n-x}, 0\leq  x\leq n

E(X)=\sum_{x=0}^{n}xf(x)= \sum_{x=0}^{n}x\left(\begin{array}{c}n\\k\end{array}\right)p^x(1-p)^{n-x}

Since each term of the summation is multiplied by x, the value of the term corresponding to x = 0 will be 0. Therefore the expected value becomes:

E(X)=\sum_{x=1}^{n}x\left(\begin{array}{c}n\\x\end{array}\right)p^x(1-p)^{n-x}

Now,

x\left(\begin{array}{c}n\\x\end{array}\right)= \frac{xn!}{x!(n-x)!}=\frac{n!}{(x-)!(n-x)!}=\frac{n(n-1)!}{(x-1)!((n-1)-(x-1))!}=n\left(\begin{array}{c}n-1\\x-1\end{array}\right)

Substituting,

E(X)=\sum_{x=1}^{n}n\left(\begin{array}{c}n-1\\x-1\end{array}\right)p^x(1-p)^{n-x}

Factoring out the n and one p from the above expression:

E(X)=np\sum_{x=1}^{n}n\left(\begin{array}{c}n-1\\x-1\end{array}\right)p^{x-1}(1-p)^{(n-1)-(x-1)}

Representing k=x-1 in the above gives us:

E(X)=np\sum_{k=0}^{n}n\left(\begin{array}{c}n-1\\k\end{array}\right)p^{k}(1-p)^{(n-1)-k}

This can then be written by the Binomial Formula as:

E[ X ] = (np) (p +(1 - p))^{n -1 }= np.

The simplified polynomial that represents how many more economy cars are rented in w weeks than full-size cars is 53 - w.

<h3>Linear equation:</h3>

Linear equation is an equation in which the highest power of the variable is equals to one.

Therefore, the number of economy-size cars rented in w weeks is represented as follows:

  • 152 + 3w

The number of full-size cars rented in w weeks is represented as follows:

  • 99 + 2w

where

w = number of weeks

A  simplified polynomial that represents how many more economy cars are rented in w weeks than full-size cars is as follows:

  • 152 + 3w - (99 + 2w)
  • 152 + 3w - 99 - 2w
  • 53 - w
