Suppose that only 25% of all drivers come to a complete stop at an intersection having flashing red lights in all directions whe

Answer:

$X \sim Binom(n=15, p=0.25)$

For this case we can use the probability mass function and we got:

$P(X= 5) = (15C5) (0.25)^{5} (1-0.25)^{15-5}= 0.165$

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A Bernoulli trial is "a random experiment with exactly two possible outcomes, "success" and "failure", in which the probability of success is the same every time the experiment is conducted". And this experiment is a particular case of the binomial experiment.

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".

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:

$nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}$

Solution to the problem

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

$X \sim Binom(n=15, p=0.25)$

For this case we can use the probability mass function and we got:

$P(X= 5) = (15C5) (0.25)^{5} (1-0.25)^{15-5}= 0.165$

Can someone help me, please? Also, can someone explain it?

Answer:60m^2

Step-by-step explanation:you have to find the height of the triangle first which is easy bc it’s been split in half so the are now two right triangles. use the pythagorean theorem to determine the height, the height is 12, the formula for the area of a triangle is 1/2bxa and half of the base is already given to you, 5 so 5 x 12 equals 60

How do I solve this equation to get the solution?<br><br> y= -2x - 1<br><br> -3x + 6y = 24

swat32

There are a few ways to solve this. The method I will use is the substitution method. Since they give us a "y = " statement, we can replace the y in the second equation with what it gives us to the right of the equal sign.

- 3x + 6(- 2x - 1) = 24

Simplify by using the distributive property.

- 3x + 6(- 2x) + 6(- 1) = 24
- 3x - 12x - 6 = 24.

Combine like terms

- 15x - 6 = 24

Add 6 to each side.

- 15x = 30

Divide both sides by - 15 to isolate variable X

x = 30 / - 15
x = - 2.

Now plug in the x-value we've found back into the first equation.

y = - 2( - 2) - 1
y = 4 - 1
y = 3

Your answer is (- 2, 3)

Last month you went on three hikes. One hike was 2 3/4 miles long, one was 1 1/2 miles long, and the other was 3 3/8 miles long

Tresset [83]

OK. So I hiked 7 and 5/8 miles last month. (In my dreams !). Do you have a question to ask ?
