Answer:
The probability is 
Step-by-step explanation:
If she has n distinct password candidates and only one of which will successfully log her into a secure system, the probability that her first first successful login will be on her k-th try is:
If k=1
Because, in her first try she has n possibles options and just one give her a successful login.
If k=2
Because, in her first try she has n possibles options and n-1 that are not correct, then, she has n-1 possibles options and 1 of that give her a successful login.
If k=3
Because, in her first try she has n possibles options and n-1 that are not correct, then, she has n-1 possibles options and n-2 that are not correct and after that, she has n-2 possibles options and 1 give her a successful login.
Finally, no matter what is the value of k, the probability that her first successful login will be (exactly) on her k-th try is 1/n

Answer:
The appropriate probability model for X is a Binomial distribution,
X 
Bin (<em>n</em> = 5, <em>p</em> = 1/33).
Step-by-step explanation:
The random variable <em>X</em> can be defined as the number of American births resulting in a defect.
The proportion of American births that result in a birth defect is approximately <em>p</em> = 1/33.
A random sample of <em>n</em> = 5 American births are selected.
It is assumed that the births are independent, i.e. a birth can be defective or not is independent of the other births.
In this experiment the success is defined as a defective birth.
The random variable <em>X</em> satisfies all criteria of a Binomial distribution.
The criteria are:
- Number of observations is constant
- Independent trials
- Each trial has only two outcomes: Success and Failure
- Same probability of success for each trial
Thus, the appropriate probability model for X is a Binomial distribution, Bin (<em>n</em> = 5, <em>p</em> = 1/33).
Answer:
f(x) = -5x - 4
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to get the inverse of the following function:
f^-1(x) = (-1/5)x - 4/5
To do that, we have to replace x with f(x) and f^-1(x) with x, as follows:
x = (-1/5)f(x) - 4/5
And then solve for f(x), the inverse of f^-1(x).
x + 4/5 = (-1/5)f(x)
f(x) = -5x + (-5)4/5
f(x) = -5x - 4
To check our result we compute a pair (x, f(x))
x f(x)
1 -5*1 - 4 = -9
which has to be equivalent to (-9, 1) in the original function
x f^-1(x)
-9 (-1/5)*(-9) - 4/5 = 1
