Ask Your Teacher Consider a binomial random variable with n = 5 and p = 0.8. Let x be the number of successes in the sample. Eva
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

0.942 is the required probability.  

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

x is a binomial random variable with n = 5 and p = 0.8.

Then,

P(X=x) = \binom{n}{x}.p^x.(1-p)^{n-x}

where n is the total number of observations, x is the number of success, p is the probability of success.

We have to evaluate:

P(x \geq 3) = P(x = 3) + P(x = 4) +P(x=5)\\\\= \binom{5}{3}(0.8)^3(1-0.8)^2 +\binom{5}{4}(0.8)^4(1-0.8)^1 +\binom{5}{5}(0.8)^5(1-0.8)^0\\\\= 0.2048 +0.4096+0.3276=0.942

0.942 is the required probability.

the base of the founten is rectangular . its dimention 1 2/3 feet by 2 2/3 feet . what is the area of the base of the founten
Montano1993 [528]
The area of a rectangle is calculated by multiplying the length of the rectangle and the width of the rectangle. In this case, the length (the longer side) is 2 2/3 feet while the width (shorter side) is 1 2/3 feet. To multiply fraction, first convert mixed numbers into improper fractions:

2 2/3 = 8/3
1 2/3 = 5/3
Multiplying the two fractions yield: 
8/3 x 5/3 = 40/9 ft2 

The final answer is 40/9 ft2 or 4 4/9 ft2.

If A = (0, 0) and B = (6, 3), what is the length of ? A.7.73 units B.6.24 units C.5.20 units D.6.71 units
ExtremeBDS [4]
Given two points A(x₁,y₁) and B(x₂,y₂) the distance betwen these points will be:
dist(A,B)=√[(x₂-x₁)²+(y₂-y₁)²].

We have these points: A(0,0) and B(6,3); its distance will be:

dist(A,B)=√[(6-0)²+(3-0)²]
=√(6²+3²)
=√(36+9)
=√45 ≈ 6.71

Answer:  D.    6.71 units.
