Answer:

See explanation below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming this problem: "According to New Jersey Transit, the 8:00 A.M. weekday train from Princeton to New York City has a 90% chance of arriving on time on a randomly selected day. Suppose this claim is true. Choose 6 days at random. Let W = the number of days on which the train arrives late. "

For this case we can check if the binomial model can be used checking conditions:

1) We satisfy that we have independent trials and is assumed for this case

2) We have a fixed value for the trials n =6 and for the probability p = 0.9 on each trial

3) We have bernoulli experiments on each trial since we have success or failure for each case.

So then since all the conditions are satisfied we can assume that the binomial model can be used here.

The binomial distribution is a "DISCRETE probability distribution that summarizes the probability that a value will take one of two independent values under a given set of parameters. The assumptions for the binomial distribution are that there is only one outcome for each trial, each trial has the same probability of success, and each trial is mutually exclusive, or independent of each other".

Let W the random variable of interest "the number of days on which the train arrives late", on this case we now that:

W \sim Binom(n=6, p=0.9)

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:

P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:

nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}

We can find all the possible probabilities for all the possible values of X like this:

P(X=0)=(6C0)(0.9)^0 (1-0.9)^{6-0}=1x10^{-6}

P(X=1)=(6C1)(0.9)^1 (1-0.9)^{6-1}=5.4x10^{-5}

P(X=2)=(6C2)(0.9)^2 (1-0.9)^{6-2}=0.001215

P(X=3)=(6C3)(0.9)^3 (1-0.9)^{6-3}=0.01458

P(X=4)=(6C4)(0.9)^4 (1-0.9)^{6-4}=0.0984

P(X=5)=(6C5)(0.9)^5 (1-0.9)^{6-5}=0.354

P(X=5)=(6C5)(0.9)^6 (1-0.9)^{6-6}=0.531

Since the ratios for sides of triangles are the same, when the angles are the same, ? have been developed which show these ratio
Scilla [17]
Presuming that I am reading the question correctly, the answer is D. A trigonometric table would provide all of the ratios of the sides in relationship to the angles. Sin, cos, and tan are just one example of the ratio.

How do i turn standard form into slope intercept?
Jlenok [28]
Write it in y= mx+b form. Subtract 5x from both sides to get 4y = -5x + 100. Divide by 4 so the answer would be y= -5/4x + 25.

What is the missing step in solving the inequality 5 – 8x < 2x + 3? Add 2x to both sides of the inequality. Subtract 8x from
kvasek [131]

Answer:

⇒ Add 8x to both sides of the inequality

⇒ x>1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you subtract by 5 from both sides of equation.

5-8x-5<2x+3-5

Solve.

-8x<2x-2

Then subtract by 2x from both sides of equation.

-8x-2x<2x-2-2x

Solve.

-10x<-2

Multiply by -1 from both sides of equation.

(-10x)(-1)>(-2)(-1)

Solve.

10x>2

Divide by 10 from both sides of equation.

10x/10>2/10

Solve to find the answer.

2/10=10/2=5 2/2=1=1/5

x>1/5 is final answer.

Hope this helps!
