Answer:

0.117649

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that the prospectors will not find a productive oil.

This is a binomial distribution problem

Binomial distribution function is represented by

P(X = x) = ⁿCₓ pˣ qⁿ⁻ˣ

n = total number of sample spaces = 6 oil wells available to be dug

x = Number of successes required = 0

p = probability of success = 0.3

q = probability of failure = 1 - p = 0.7

P(X = 0) = ⁶C₀ 0.3⁰ 0.7⁶⁻⁰ = (1)(1)(0.7⁶) = 0.117649

lozanna [386]

Answer:

y = ± \sqrt{\frac{a-x}{2b} }

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x = a - 2by² ( add 2by² to both sides )

x + 2by² = a ( subtract x from both sides )

2by² = a - x ( divide both sides by 2b )

y² = \frac{a-x}{2b} ( take the square root of both sides )

y = ± \sqrt{\frac{a-x}{2b} }
