Answer:

A. In a binomial distribution, the value ofx represents the number of successes in n trials, while in a geometric distribution, the value ofx represents the first trial that results in a success.

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

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".

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

P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}  

The geometric distribution represents "the number of failures before you get a success in a series of Bernoulli trials. This discrete probability distribution is represented by the probability density function:"

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

The most important difference is that in the binomial distribution, the value of x represents the successes in n trials.

And by the other hand in the geometric distribution, x represents the number of failures before you get a success in a series of Bernoulli trials.

So then the best answer for this case is:

A. In a binomial distribution, the value of x represents the number of successes in n trials, while in a geometric distribution, the value ofx represents the first trial that results in a success.

What is 0.304 divided by 1.325 rounded to the nearest tenth?
Over [174]

We have to determine the number which is rounded to the nearest tenth in the expression 0.304\div 1.325.

So, let us divide 0.304 by 1.325.

So, we get 0.304 \div 1.325 = 0.229

Now, we have to round the number 0.229 to the nearest tenth.

The tenths place is to the right of the decimal. Now, we will consider the digit at hundredths place which is '2', which is less than 5.

Therefore, the number rounded to the nearest tenth is 0.2.

The triangular arrangement of numbers shown is known as Pascal's triangle. Use inductive reasoning to find the 6 missing numbers
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

1 5 10 10 5 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question has been attached as an image.

Looking at the triangle, we see a pattern. The first level we have 1, in the next level we have 1 1, the next evel we have 1 2 1, the next level we have 1 3 3 1 and so on. From here, we see that to get the numbers of the next level, we have to write 1 as the first number, then add 1 to the next number after it in the previous level to get the second number in the next level then add the second number of the previous level to the next number beside it to get the third number in the next level and so on until you get to the last number before 1 in the previous level, add that number to 1 to get the second to the last number in the next level and finally put 1 as the last number in the next level. Now, we have

1 4 6 4 1

1 5 10 10 5 1

And that is the required set of numbers.

A function that models the profit for a new pet-monitoring system shows that there is no profit made until the price reaches $95
-Dominant- [34]

The profits at x = $185 is 0 and the graph is attached below:

<h3>What is graph?</h3>

Graph is a mathematical representation of a network and it describes the relationship between lines and points.

Function is to model the profits of a new pet-monitoring system, so, if the profits are y and x then y = f(x)

The curve shows that y is negative at values of x< $95, then the profits increase when x varies between $95 and $140.

The profits reach a maximum at $140 and then the profits start to reduce as x increases again.

So, the profits at x = $185 is 0.
