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.

Will give brainiest :)
avanturin [10]

Answer:

x= 116°

y= 127°

Step-by-step explanation:

x... The angle subtended at the centre is twice the angle subtended at the cicumfernce by the same arch

y.... Angle in a cyclic quadrilateral add up to 180°

hence 180-53=127

Find all the missing elements : C=120degrees<br> b= 5<br> c=11
mezya [45]

Answer:

A = 36.8°

B = 23.2°

a = 7.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

C = 120°

b = 5

c = 11

Required:

Find A, B, and a.

Solution:

✔️To find B, apply the Law of Sines

\frac{sin(B)}{b} = \frac{sin(C)}{c}

Plug in the values

\frac{sin(B)}{5} = \frac{sin(120)}{11}

Cross multiply

Sin(B)*11 = sin(120)*5

Divide both sides by 11

sin(B) = \frac{sin(120)*5}{11}

sin(B) = \frac{sin(120)*5}{11}

Sin(B) = 0.3936

B = sin^{-1}(0.3936)

B = 23.1786882° ≈ 23.2° (nearest tenth)

✔️Find A:

A = 180° - (B + C) (sum of triangle)

A = 180° - (23.2° + 120°)

A = 36.8°

✔️To find a, apply the Law of sines:

\frac{sin(A)}{a} = \frac{sin(B)}{b}

Plug in the values

\frac{sin(36.8)}{a} = \frac{sin(23.2)}{5}

Cross multiply

a*sin(23.2) = 5*sin(36.8)

Divide both sides by sin(23.2)

a = \frac{5*sin(36.8)}{sin(23.2)

a = 7.60294329 ≈ 7.6 (nearest tenth)

For a perfectly symmetrical distribution with a mean of 50, what is the value of the median?
Lelechka [254]

In a set of data, if the data is perfectly symmetrical then the mean is equal to the median. In this case, the median would be 50.

For example, consider the data set: {25, 50, 75}

The mean is going to be 50 because \frac{25+50+75}{3} = 50

The median is also 50 because that is the middle number when ordered numerically.

Hope this helped! Let me know if you have any more questions.
