Answer:

P(X=0)=(3C0)(0.1)^0 (1-0.1)^{3-0}=0.729

And the probability of loss with the first wersion is 0.729

P(Y=0)=(5C0)(0.05)^0 (1-0.05)^{5-0}=0.774

And the probability of loss with the first wersion is 0.774

As we can see the best alternative is the first version since the probability of loss is lower than the probability of loss on version 2.

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

Alternative 1

Let X the random variable of interest, on this case we now that:

X \sim Binom(n=3, p=0.1)

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!}

We can find the probability of loss like this P(X=0) and if we find this probability we got this:

P(X=0)=(3C0)(0.1)^0 (1-0.1)^{3-0}=0.729

And the probability of loss with the first wersion is 0.729

Alternative 2

Let Y the random variable of interest, on this case we now that:

Y \sim Binom(n=5, p=0.05)

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:

P(Y)=(nCy)(p)^y (1-p)^{n-y}

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:

nCy=\frac{n!}{(n-y)! y!}

We can find the probability of loss like this P(Y=0) and if we find this probability we got this:

P(Y=0)=(5C0)(0.05)^0 (1-0.05)^{5-0}=0.774

And the probability of loss with the first wersion is 0.774

As we can see the best alternative is the first version since the probability of loss is lower than the probability of loss on version 2.

Ahmed fills 6 pitchers with juice. Each pitcher contains 2 quarts 1 pint. How many pints of juice does he have?
zubka84 [21]

Answer: 30 pints of juice

Step-by-step explanation:

Note: 1 quart = 2 pints.

2 quarts = 4 pints

4 pints + 1 pints=5

So in each pitcher there are 5 pints of juice

5 times 6 = 30

For #7 Find the measure of each numbered angle in the rectangle?
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:



A rectangle is a geometric figure in which all four angles are 90 degrees. So if you have a missing side and it is a true rectangle, then you know the missing angle is 90 degrees. However, you could be working with a rectangle that is slanted. This is known as a parallelogram. To find the missing angle in such a case, you need to know that all the angles will add up to 360 degrees.


Write out the three known sides. For example, assume you have angles of 120, 120 and 60.


Write out an algebraic expression. Because you know the sum of all four sides must equal 360 degrees, your expression in the example will be 120 + 120 + 60 + X = 360.


Solve for X. Add together all of the angles. Subtract the amount from 360. In the example, 60 degrees is the missing angle.

What is (f·g)(x)?<br><br> f(x)=x^2+2x−6<br><br> g(x)=x^4+3
Art [367]

f(x)=x^2+2x-6\\\\g(x)=x^4+3

(f\cdot g)(x)=f(x)\cdot g(x)

Use FOIL  (a + b)(c + d) = ac + ad + bc + bd

(f\cdot g)(x)=(x^2+2x-6)(x^4+3)\\\\=(x^2)(x^4)+(x^2)(3)+(2x)(x^4)+(2x)(3)+(-6)(x^4)+(-6)(3)

Use a^n\cdot a^m=a^{n+m}

=x^{2+4}+3x^2+2x^{1+4}+6x-6x^4-18\\\\=x^6+3x^2+2x^5+6x-6x^4-18\\\\\boxed{(f\cdot g)(x)=x^6+2x^5-6x^4+3x^2+6x-18}
