1 ) Divide both sides by 2

if you want the answer , here you go

Answer:

Each of the 7 large animals ate 71 lbs of food.

Step-by-step explanation:

There was a total of 680 lbs of food, and the elephant ate 183 lbs by itself. This means that there was 497 lbs of food left for the 7 large animals. To find out how much food each of the 7 animals ate, we just divide. 497 lbs of food divided by 7 large animals. This will give us a final result of 71 lbs of food per large animal.

Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

a) $P(X \leq 3) = 0.99328$

b) 0.6957

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X represent the number of 4's when n = 5 independent spins

each has a probability of 0.2 (i.e p = 0.2)

This notation is represented as:

X $\approx$ Binomial (n = 5, p = 0.2)

Probability of $x$ number of 4's is:

$P(X=x)= (\left \ n \atop x \right) p^x (1-p)^{(n-x)}$

here; $(\left \ n \atop x \right)$ is the combinatorial expression

$(\left \ n \atop x \right)$ = $\frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

$P(X \leq3), n =5 , p = 0.2$

$P(X \leq3) = 1-P(X > 3)$

So; let's first find:

$P(X > 3)$

$= P(3$

$P(X = 4) =( \left \ {{5} \atop {4}} \right. ) (0.2)^4 (1-0.2)^1 \\ \\ P(X = 4) = 5(0.2)^4(0.8)^1 \\ \\ P(X = 4) = 0.0064$

$P(X = 5) =( \left \ {{5} \atop {5}} \right. ) (0.2)^5 (1-0.2)^0 \\ \\ P(X = 5) = 5(0.2)^5(0.8)^0 \\ \\ P(X = 5) = 0.00032$

$P (X=4)+P(X = 5 ) \\ \\ = 0.0064 + 0.00032 = 0.006720 \\ \\ \approx 0.007$

$P(X > 3 ) = 0.00672 \\ \\ P(X \leq 3) = 1- P(X > = 3 ) \\ \\ =1 - 0.00672 \\ \\ = 0.99328$

$P(X \leq 3) = 0.99328$

Given that:

The ratio of boys to girls at birth in Singapore is quite high at 1.09:1

What proportion of Singapore families with exactly 6 children will have at least 3 boys?

Probability of having a boy = $\frac{1.09}{1+1.09}$ = 0.5215

Binomial Problem with n = 6

P(3<= x <=6) = 1 - P(0<= x <=2)

= 1 - binomial (6,0.5215,2)

= 0.6957
