Answer:

a) n = 50, p = \frac{1}{6}

b) n = 16, p = \frac{1}{100}

c) n = 26, p = 0.25, \mu = 6.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinatios of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

(a) A fair die is rolled 50 times. X = number of times a 5 is rolled

The die is rolled 50 times, so n = 50.

Each roll can have 6 outcomes. So the probability that 5 is rolled is p = \frac{1}{6}

(b) A company puts a game card in each box of cereal and 1/100 of them are winners. You buy sixteen boxes of cereal, and X = number of times you win.

You buy 16 boxes of cereal, so n = 16.

1 of 100 are winners. So p = \frac{1}{100}.

(c) Jack likes to play computer solitaire and wins about 25% of the time. X = number of games he wins out of his next 26 games.

He plays 26 games, so n = 26.

He wins 25% of the time, so p = 0.25

We have that \mu = np. So \mu = 26*0.25 = 6.5

In a survey, 200 people were polled about whether they preferred spending their free time playing sports, watching a movie, or r
Rama09 [41]
A) 25% of males preferred playing sports.

Explanation) .25 is the same is 25%.

B) 25% of the people surveyed preferred reading a book.

Explanation) You have to add up how many males and females rather
                      to read a book.  It's .10 + .15 =  25%.

C) 70 females were surveyed out of 200 people. 

Explanation)  Add up .15 + .5 + .15 to get .35.  Put .35 multiplied by 200 to                            get 70.

Solve the following factorize and the en- equation of quadrate equation X² + 5x + 7 x = 0​
nlexa [21]

Answer:

{-12,0}

Step-by-step explanation:

first to solve this can collect like terms and add

X² +12x=0

and solve it by factorization method

X² +12x=0

x(x+12)=0

it means x multiplied by x = X² then x multiplied by 12 = 12x

so this means x or (x+12) equals to zero

x=0 and (x+12)=0

x+12=0

x=-12

so the solution set is {-12,0}

but can also be done by formula method
