zubka84 [21]

Answer: The required answers are

(a) 0.25, (b) 0.62, (c) 6.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that we toss a fair coin 10 times and X denote the number of heads.

We are to find

(a) the probability that X=5

(b) the probability that X greater or equal than 5

(c) the minimum value of a such that P(X ≤ a) > 0.8.

We know that the probability of getting r heads out of n tosses in a toss of coin is given by the formula of binomial distribution as follows :

$P(X=r)=^nC_r\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^r\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^{n-r}.$

(a) The probability of getting 5 heads is given by

$P(X=5)\\\\\\=^{10}C_5\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^5\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^{10-5}\\\\\\=\dfrac{10!}{5!(10-5)!}\dfrac{1}{2^{10}}\\\\\\=0.24609\\\\\sim0.25.$

(b) The probability of getting 5 or more than 5 heads is

$P(X\geq 5)\\\\=P(X=5)+P(X=6)+P(X=7)+P(X=8)+P(X=9)+P(X=10)\\\\=^{10}C_5\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^5\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^{10-5}+^{10}C_6\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^6\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^{10-6}+^{10}C_7\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^7\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^{10-7}+^{10}C_8\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^8\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^{10-8}+^{10}C_9\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^9\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^{10-9}+^{10}C_{10}\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^{10}\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^{10-10}\\\\\\=0.24609+0.20507+0.11718+0.04394+0.0097+0.00097\\\\=0.62295\\\\\sim 0.62.$

(c) Proceeding as in parts (a) and (b), we see that

if a = 10, then

$P(X\leq 0)=0.00097,\\\\P(X\leq 1)=0.01067,\\\\P(X\leq 2)=0.05461,\\\\P(X\leq 3)=0.17179,\\\\P(X\leq 4)=0.37686,\\\\P(X\leq 5)=0.62295,\\\\P(X\leq 6)=0.82802.$

Therefore, the minimum value of a is 6.

Hence, all the questions are answered.

Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

The higher you go in the good chain the lower the population.

Explanation:

In the food web, there are only a few sharks since in the food chain they are higher. Just 10% energy is retained in the tissues once the energy is moved from one trophic level to another, and the leftover power is emitted as metabolic energy.

If an animal is high up the energy ladder, the individual has less resources; thus, a few of the highest predators are present in an ecosystem.

For a ride on a rental scooter, Deon paid an $8 fee to start the scooter plus 6 cents per minute of the ride. The total bill for

faltersainse [42]

Answer:

66 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

11.96 - 8 =3.96

Every 10 minutes Deon pays 60 cents because 6 times 10 = 60 and every 6 minutes Deon is paying 36 cents

10 min = 60 cents

20 min = $1.20

40 min = $2.40

50 min = $3.00

60 min = $3.60

6 min = 36 cents

Then you do 3.60 + 36 which equals $3.96

How to figure how the minutes is just 60 + 6 = 66 minutes
