Let the probability of success on a Bernoulli trial be 0.26. a. In five Bernoulli trials, what is the probability that there wil
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

0.3898 = 38.98% probability that there will be 4 failures

Step-by-step explanation:

A sequence of Bernoulli trials forms the binomial probability distribution.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

Let the probability of success on a Bernoulli trial be 0.26.

This means that p = 0.26

a. In five Bernoulli trials, what is the probability that there will be 4 failures?

Five trials means that n = 5

4 failures, so 1 success, and we have to find P(X = 1).

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 1) = C_{5,1}.(0.26)^{1}.(0.74)^{4} = 0.3898

0.3898 = 38.98% probability that there will be 4 failures

What is the slope-intercept form of the function described by this table? x 1 2 3 4 y −2 −6 −10 −14 Enter your answers in the bo
Olin [163]

Answer:

y=-4x+2

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The equation of the line in slope intercept form is equal to

y=mx+b

Step 1

Find the slope m

Let

A(1,-2),B(2.-6)

m=(-6+2)/(2-1)=-4

Step 2

Find the value of b

we have

m=-4

A(1,-2)

substitute in the equation of the line

y=mx+b

-2=(-4)(1)+b

-2=-4+b

b=2

The equation in slope intercept form is equal to

y=-4x+2

4) A zoologist was checking the weights of three gorillas. Gorilla A weighed 559 pounds, gorilla B weighed 827 pounds and gorill
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

1,516 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Gorilla A weighed = 559 pounds Gorilla B weighed = 827 pounds Gorilla C weighed = 130 pounds

Total weight of the gorillas = gorilla A + gorilla B + gorilla C

= 559 pounds + 827 pounds + 130 pounds

= 1,516 pounds

Total weight of the gorillas = 1,516 pounds

Solve the equation using square roots. x^2 – 14 = –10
zheka24 [161]
X^2 - 14 = -10
x^2 = -10 + 14
x^2 = 4....take the square root of both sides, eliminating the ^2
x = (+-) sqrt 4
x = 2 and x = -2
