Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for binomial distribution is expressed as

P(x=r) = nCr × q^(n-r) × p^r

From the information given,

n = 11

p = 40% = 40/100 = 0.4

q = 1 - 0.4 = 0.6

x represent the number of radios

a) P( x = 1) or P(x = 9)

P(x = 1) = 11C1 × 0.6^(11-1) × 0.4^1

P(x = 1) = 0.027

P(x = 9) = 11C9 × 0.6^(11-9) × 0.4^9

P(x = 9) = 0.0052

P( x = 1) or P(x = 9) = 0.027 + 0.0052 = 0.0322

b) P(x lesser than or equal to 7) = P(x = 0) + P(x = 1) + P(x = 2) + P(x = 3) + P(x = 4) + P(x = 5) + P(x = 6)

P(x = 0) = 11C0 × 0.6^(11-0) × 0.4^0 = 0.004

P(x = 1) = 0.027

P(x = 2) = 11C2 × 0.6^(11-2) × 0.4^2 = 0.089

P(x = 3) = 11C3 × 0.6^(11-3) × 0.4^3 = 0.177

P(x = 4) = 11C4 × 0.6^(11-4) × 0.4^4 = 0.24

P(x = 5) = 11C5 × 0.6^(11-5) × 0.4^5 = 0.22

P(x = 6) = 11C6 × 0.6^(11-6) × 0.4^6 = 0.15

P(x = 7) = 11C7 × 0.6^(11-7) × 0.4^7 = 0.15

P(x lesser than or equal to 7) = 0.004 + 0.027 + 0.089 + 0.177 + 0.24 + 0.22 + 0.15 + 0.07 = 0.977

c) P(x greater than or equal to 5) = 1 - P(x lesser than or equal to 4) = 1 - (0.004 + 0.027 + 0.089 + 0.177 + 0.24) = 1 - 0.537 = 0.463

d) P(x lesser than 9) = P(x lesser than or equal to 7) + P(x = 8)

P(x = 8) = 11C8 × 0.6^(11-8) × 0.4^8 = 0.02

P(x lesser than 9) = 0.977 + 0.02 = 0.997

e. P(x greater than 7) = 1 - P(x lesser than or equal to 7) = 1 - 0.977 = 0.023

PLEASE HELP!!! I WILL MARK BRAINLEST!!!
storchak [24]

Answer:

Each hat is $5

Each mask is $3

Step-by-step explanation:

Hat= x dollars

Mask= y dollars

Now,

3 hats and 4 mask sold = $27

We can write

3x + 4y = 27

Adding the second equation (-1 times 1st equation) gives us;

3x + 6y = 33

-1* (3x + 4y = 27)

3x + 6y = 33

-3x -4y = 27

2y = 6

y = 6/2

***y = 3***

Now we replace y= 3 into 1st equation and solve for x:

3x + 4y = 27

3x + 4(3) = 27

3x + 12 = 27

3x + 15

x = 15/3

***x= 5***

Each hat costs $5

Each mask costs $3

Galina-37 [17]
<span>c. 4.6
       
21 X .22= 4.6
       
Calculating the variance requires finding the product of 21 and 22%. To make this easier we convert 22% into it's decimal form and construct the equation. To back check this answer we can use 10% of 21 voters which equals 2.1% then double that amount to reach 4.2%, knowing that we now have a close approximation of the variance we can eliminate answers a, b, and d, leaving c as the only logical choice.</span>

Each side of a pentagon is 10 cm greater than the previous side. If the perimeter of this pentagon is 500 cm, find the lengths o
Vesna [10]

Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a pentagon is gotten through the summation of its five sides. Let the first side be represented by x. Since each side of a pentagon is 10 cm greater than the previous side, then the sides will be:

First side = x

Second side = x + 10

Third side = x + 10 + 10 = x + 20

Forth side = x + 30

Fifty side = x + 40

Therefore,

x + (x + 10) + (x + 20) + (x + 30) + (x + 40) = 500

5x + 100 = 500

5x = 500 - 100

5x = 400

x = 400/5

x = 80

Therefore, the lengths will be:

First side = x = 80cm

Second side = x + 10 = 80 + 10 = 90cm

Third side = x + 20 = 80 + 20 = 100cm

Forth side = x + 30 = 80 + 30 = 110cm

Fifty side = x + 40 = 80 + 40 = 120cm
