Answer:

P(X \geq 1) = 1-P(X

And if we find the individual probability we got:

P(X=0)=(7C0)(0.127)^0 (1-0.127)^{7-0}=0.3865

And replacing we got:

P(X \geq 1) = 1-P(X

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".

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable of interest, on this case we now that:

X \sim Binom(n=7, p=0.127)

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!}

And we want to find this probability:

P(X \geq 1)

And we can use the complement rule and we got:

P(X \geq 1) = 1-P(X

And if we find the individual probability we got:

P(X=0)=(7C0)(0.127)^0 (1-0.127)^{7-0}=0.3865

And replacing we got:

P(X \geq 1) = 1-P(X

Answer

Draw game: 16/126 = 0.126875

Explanation:

Assuming X as first player, O as second player, there are C(9,5) = 126  

different ways to arrange five X's (or four O's) within nine positions.

Among these, 16 are draw games: (XXO,OXX,XOO), (XOX,XXO,OXO), (XXO,OOX,XOX),  (XOX,XOX,OXO) together with their horizontal and vertical reflections.

There are 12 configurations with a sure win for O: three O's on one diagonal,

for a total of 2 diagonals times 6 choices for the fourth O.

There are 36 "undecided" configurations, i.e. configurations with both three

X's and three O's on a line, according to the following count:

three O's on one side line, that is 4 sides times 6 choices for the  

fourth O = 24.  three O's on one middle line, that is 2 middle lines times 6 choices   for the fourth O  = 12.

This leaves 126 − 16 − 12 − 36 = 62 configurations   with a sure X win.

The win in an undecided configuration will depend on which side  

completes first a triad on a line. Assume a player completes a triad at  

his 3rd draw: then the two remaining X's or O's must have appeared in  

the first two draws, for a total of C(2,2) =1 possibility each. If the  

triad is completed at the 4th draw, then the two remaining X's or O's  

had to be distributed within the first three draws, giving C(3,2) = 3  

possibilities each. Finally, if the first players completes his triad  

at the 5th draw, the two remaining X?s must have appeared within four  

draws, giving C(4,2) = 6 possibilities. In accordance, there are four  

different possibilities:

X completes at the 3rd draw, O at the 3rd or 4th: X wins, with 1x(1+3) =

4 configurations

O completes at the 3rd draw, X at the 4th or 5th: O wins, with 1x(3+6) =

9 configurations

X completes at the 4th draw, O at the 4th: X wins, with 3x3 = 9 configurations

O completes at the 4th draw, X at the 5th: O wins, with 3x6 = 18 configurations

Thus, the probability that an undecided configuration results in an X win

is (4+9)/40 = 13/40, whilst the probability of an O win is (9+18)/40 = 27/40.

The final probabilities can now be computed:

First player: (62 + 36*13/40)/126 = 0.584850

Second player: (12 + 36*27/40)/126 = 0.288275

Draw game: 16/126 = 0.126875

What is 31 billion in scientific notation? <br><br> explain clearly &lt;3 :D
MArishka [77]

Answer:

3.1*10^10

Step-by-step explanation:

31 billion would be written like that because... there are 9 0's left, and that goes up to 10 because i turned 31 to 3.1 not 31, so that value after a decimal point adds 1

What is the value of y in the equation 9 + y = 8? this is extremely time sensitive
adoni [48]

You have to switch the 8 to the left and the y to the right which would change the equation to 9-8=y

1. The Senior Class of Great Ridge High School and Ann Arbor High School are planning a trip to Six Flags Theme Park. Great Ridg
Zanzabum

Answer:

A)14v + 16b = 1152

10v + 13b = 925

B)Number of students in a van = 8

Number of students in each bus = 65

C) Elimination method was easier.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let v be the number of students in a van

Let b be number of students in a bus

A) We are told the first school can fill 14 vans and 16 buses with 1152 students

Thus;

14v + 16b = 1152 - - - - - (eq 1)

Also,we are told that the second school can fill 10 vans and 13 buses with 925 students.

Thus;

10v + 13b = 925 - - - - (eq 2)

B) To solve this we will use elimination method.

Multiply eq (1) by 5 and multiply eq (2) by 7 to give;

70v + 80b = 5760 - - - - eq(3)

70v + 91b = 6475 - - - - - eq(4)

Subtract eq(3) from eq(4) to give;

91b - 80b = 6475 - 5760

11b = 715

b = 715/11

b = 65

Put 65 for b in eq(3) to give;

70v + 80(65) = 5760

70v = 5760 - 80(65)

70v = 560

v = 560/70

v = 8

Number of students in a van = 8

Number of students in each bus = 65

C) Elimination method was used because in both equations, we had different digits attached and so it would have been more tedious to use substitution method or graphical method. Thus, elimination method was more easier.
