Answer:

a) P(X=41)= 0.0086 = 0.86%

b) P(36≤X≤38)== 0.1215 = 12.15%

c) would be unusual that fewer that 20 murders were cleared because P(X≤20) = 0.000081 =0.0081%

Step-by-step explanation:

if the random variable X= number of cleared murders , then X follows a binomial distribution:

P(X=x)= n!/[(n-x)!*x!]*p^x*(1-p)^(n-x)

where P(X=x)= probability of x cleared murders, n= number of murders selected=50 , p= probability for a murder to be cleared (67%)

therefore

a) P(X=41)=50!/[(50-41)!*41!]*0.67^41*0.33^(50-41)= 0.0086

b) P(36≤X≤38)= P(X≤38) - P(X≤36) = 0.9371- 0.8156 = 0.1215

c) P(X≤20) = 0.000081

therefore would be unusual that fewer that 20 murders were cleared

If the length of an object decreases while its width and height remain unchanged,will its volume increased or decreased?
Rom4ik [11]
The volume will decrease.

If everything else remains the same then it will decrease. If other sides were increased proportionally then it would stay the same. It would increase if other sides were enlarged more than the length was shortened.
