Answer:

a) Let X the random variable of interest "Number of students who have read the first Harry Potter book", on this case we now that:

X \sim Binom(n=12, p=0.64)

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!}

b) E(X) = \mu_X = np = 12*0.64= 7.68

c) Var(X) = \sigma_X = np(1-p) = 12*0.64(1-0.64)= 2.76

d) P(X=2)=(12C2)(0.64)^2 (1-0.64)^{12-2}=0.000988

e) P(X\geq 2) =1- [0.00000474+0.000101]=0.9999

f)P(X>5) = 1- P(X \leq 5)=0.9030

And since we want "NO more than 5" we can do this 1-0.9030= 0.097

g) P(2\leq X\leq 7) =0.4459

h) P(X>7) = 1-P(X\leq 7)=1-0.4458=0.5541

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

Part a

Let X the random variable of interest "Number of students who have read the first Harry Potter book", on this case we now that:

X \sim Binom(n=12, p=0.64)

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 b

The expected value is given by the following expression:

E(X) = \mu_X = np = 12*0.64= 7.68

Part c

The variance is given by the following expression:

Var(X) = \sigma_X = np(1-p) = 12*0.64(1-0.64)= 2.76

Part d

For this case we want this probability

P(X=2)=(12C2)(0.64)^2 (1-0.64)^{12-2}=0.000988

Part e

For this case we want this probability:

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

P(X=0)=(12C0)(0.64)^0 (1-0.64)^{12-0}=0.00000474

P(X=1)=(12C1)(0.64)^1 (1-0.64)^{12-1}=0.000101

P(X\geq 2) =1- [0.00000474+0.000101]=0.9999

Part f

For this case we can find this probability first:

P(X>5) = 1- P(X \leq 5)

P(X=0)=(12C0)(0.64)^0 (1-0.64)^{12-0}=0.00000474

P(X=1)=(12C1)(0.64)^1 (1-0.64)^{12-1}=0.000101

P(X=2)=(12C2)(0.64)^2 (1-0.64)^{12-2}=0.000988

P(X=3)=(12C3)(0.64)^3 (1-0.64)^{12-3}=0.0059

P(X=4)=(12C4)(0.64)^4 (1-0.64)^{12-4}=0.0234

P(X=5)=(12C5)(0.64)^5 (1-0.64)^{12-5}=0.0666

P(X>5) = 1- P(X \leq 5)=0.9030

And since we want "NO more than 5" we can do this 1-0.9030= 0.097

Part g

For this case we can find this probability first:

P(2\leq X\leq 7)

P(X=2)=(12C2)(0.64)^2 (1-0.64)^{12-2}=0.000988

P(X=3)=(12C3)(0.64)^3 (1-0.64)^{12-3}=0.0059

P(X=4)=(12C4)(0.64)^4 (1-0.64)^{12-4}=0.0234

P(X=5)=(12C5)(0.64)^5 (1-0.64)^{12-5}=0.0666

P(X=6)=(12C6)(0.64)^6 (1-0.64)^{12-6}=0.1382

P(X=7)=(12C7)(0.64)^7 (1-0.64)^{12-7}=0.2106

Adding all the values we got:

P(2\leq X\leq 7) =0.4457

Part h

For this case we can find this probability first:

P(X>7) = 1-P(X\leq 7)

P(X=0)=(12C0)(0.64)^0 (1-0.64)^{12-0}=0.00000474

P(X=1)=(12C1)(0.64)^1 (1-0.64)^{12-1}=0.000101

P(X=2)=(12C2)(0.64)^2 (1-0.64)^{12-2}=0.000988

P(X=3)=(12C3)(0.64)^3 (1-0.64)^{12-3}=0.0059

P(X=4)=(12C4)(0.64)^4 (1-0.64)^{12-4}=0.0234

P(X=5)=(12C5)(0.64)^5 (1-0.64)^{12-5}=0.0666

P(X=6)=(12C6)(0.64)^6 (1-0.64)^{12-6}=0.1382

P(X=7)=(12C7)(0.64)^7 (1-0.64)^{12-7}=0.2106

P(X>7) = 1-P(X\leq 7)=1-0.4458=0.5541

The sum of 3 consecutive multiples of 4 is 180.
Paul [167]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  56, 60, 64

Step-by-step explanation:

The middle of the three numbers is their average: 180/3 = 60. The other two will be 4 more or less than this.

The numbers of interest are 56, 60, 64.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

For "consecutive integer" problems, it is often useful to work with the average of the numbers. The average will be the middle number of an odd number of numbers (as here), or will be halfway between the two middle numbers if their number is even.

Even if you bother to write equations, it can work to do that in terms of the average value (middle number): (x -4) +(x) +(x +4) = 180 in this case.

Answer:

  acute scalene triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

The largest angle is acute, and all sides are different lengths. The triangle is an<em> acute scalene triangle</em>.

____

The magnitudes of the coordinate differences are ...

  WX = (7, 5), XY = (2, 7), WY = (9, 2)

The two sides that are closest in length are ...

  WX = √(49+25) = √74

  WY = √(81 +4) = √85

Obviously, these are different lengths.

You can get a clue by comparing the numbers whose squares you are adding:

  7^2 +5^2 > 7^2 +2^2 . . . . . WX > XY

  9^2 +2^2 > 7^2 +2^2 . . . . WY > XY

so, the only question is relation between WX and WY. We note that the length of WX is less than one of the coordinate differences of WY, so we know WY is the longest. (√74 < 9)

We can tell from the graph that angle X (opposite longest side WY) is an acute angle, so the triangle is acute.
