Answer:

a) Figure attached

b) E(X) =\mu= np = 9*0.7=6.3

Sd(X) =\sigma= \sqrt{np(1-p)}= \sqrt{9*0.7*(1-0.7)}=1.375

c) For the case n= 6

P(X \leq 2) = 0.9891

For the case n= 5

P(X \leq 2) = 0.9692

So then we need at least  n=5 or n=6 to satisfy the condition required.

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=9, p=0.7)

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!}

Part a

For this case we can use the following R code:

> x <- seq(0,9,by = 1)

> y <- dbinom(x,9,0.7)

> plot(x,y,main="Histogram",type = "h")

And we can see on the figure attached the solution.

We see that the higher probabilities are from 4 to 9

Part b

The expected value is given by:

E(X) =\mu= np = 9*0.7=6.3

The variance is given by:

Var (X) =\sigma^2= np(1-p) = 9*0.7*(1-0.7)= 1.89

And the standard deviation is:

Sd(X) =\sigma= \sqrt{np(1-p)}= \sqrt{9*0.7*(1-0.7)}=1.375

Part c

First we can find the probability that at least two addresses will be found in the list of 9 that we have like this:

P(X \geq 2)

We can use the complement rule and we have:

P(X \geq 2) = 1-P(X

We find the indicidual probabilities:

P(X=0)=(9C0)(0.7)^0 (1-0.7)^{9-0}=0.00001968

P(X=1)=(9C1)(0.7)^1 (1-0.7)^{9-1}=0.000413

P(X \geq 2) = 1-[0.00001968+0.000413]=0.9996

If we use the case of n=8 and we find P(X\leq 2), we got:

P(X \leq 2) = 0.9987

For the case n= 7

P(X \leq 2) = 0.9962

For the case n= 6

P(X \leq 2) = 0.9891

For the case n= 5

P(X \leq 2) = 0.9692

So then we need at least  n=5 or n=6 to satisfy the condition required.

Jason wants to earn at least $250 each week working during the summer.
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

6.00b + 7.75s ≥ 250

b + s ≤ 40

Step-by-step explanation:

6.00b + 7.75s ≥ 250---this represents how much he will make

b + s ≤ 40---these are his hours. B+S are his hours, and they can't be greater than 40 hrs, so ≤.

the area of the square is 144cm^2. find the area of the shaded region. PLEASE HELP NEED ANSWER ASAP!!!
Nataly [62]

The area of the shaded area = the area of the square - the area of the circle = 30.9 cm².

<h3>How to Find the Area of the Shaded Area?</h3>

The area of the shaded area = the area of the square - the area of the circle.

Find the area of the side length of the square:

Area of a circle = s², where s is the side length of the circle.

Therefore, we have:

144 = s²

Take the square root of both sides

√144 = √s²

12 = s

s = 12

The side of the square = 12 cm.

The diameter of the circle = side length of the square = 12 cm

Radius of the circle (r) = 12/2 = 6 cm.

Area of the circle = πr² = π(6²) ≈ 113.1

The area of the shaded area = 144 - 113.1

The area of the shaded area = 30.9 cm².
