Answer:

B. 0.03110

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Probability of Hit = 60%

Required

Determine the probability that he misses at 6th throw

Represent Probability of Hit with P

P = 60\%

Convert to decimal

P = 0,6

Next; Determine the Probability of Miss (q)

Opposite probabilities add up to 1;

So,

p + q = 1

q = 1 - p

Substitute 0.6 for p

q = 1 - 0.6

q = 0.4

Next,is to determine the required probability;

Since, he's expected to miss the 6th throw, the probability is:

Probability = p^5 * q

Probability = 0.6^5 * 0.4

Probability = 0.031104

Hence;

<em>Option B answers the question</em>

A Starbucks coffee shop serves an average of 3500 customers per day, with a standard deviation of 250. What is the probability t
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

P(3300  

And we can find this probability with this difference:  

P(-0.8  

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts  

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".  

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Solution to the problem  

Let X the random variable that represent the amount of cofee shops of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:  

X \sim N(3500,250)  

Where \mu=3500 and \sigma=250  

We are interested on this probability  

P(3300  

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:  

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}  

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:  

P(3300  

And we can find this probability with this difference:  

P(-0.8
