Answer: 0.01145

Step-by-step explanation:

We use Binomial distribution , where the probability of getting x successes in n trial is given by :-

P(x)=^nC_xp^x(1-p)^{n-x} , p = probability of getting each success in each trial.

As per given

The proportion that a car with a certain protection system will be recovered= p=0.87

n= 8

Let x be the number of cars will be recovered.

Then, the probability that 4 of 8 stolen cars will be recovered:

P(X=4)=^8C_4(0.87)^4(1-0.87)^{8-4}

=\dfrac{8!}{4!(8-4)!}(0.87)^4(0.13)^4\\\\= 70(0.57289761)(0.00028561)\\\\=0.0114537700474\approx0.01145

Hence, the required probability is 0.01145.

For the data shown in the scatter plot, which is the best estimate of r? -0.95, -0.55, 0.55, 0.95
Liula [17]
From the data shown in the scater plots, the points are scattered apart which means that r is not close to 1.

Also the data points increase to the right which means that r is positive.

Therefore, the estimate for r in the data shown in the scatter plot is 0.55

If N collected 4/20lb of cloth and Z collected 7/8lb of cloth.
love history [14]
First you need to give both fractions a common denominator lets say 40. So N would be 8/40 and Z would be 35/40, so Z collected more than N. All together they collected 43/40 which simplifies to be 1 and 2/40 which would again simplify to 1 and 1/20.
