Answer:

Option C is correct

The wrapping paper is needed to wrap the gift box is, 400 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

Surface area of the prism(S) is given by:

$S =2(lw+wh+hl)$

where, l is the length , w is the width and h is the height of the box receptively.

Given that:

A gift box is 14 inches long, 8 inches wide, and 4 inches high

⇒ l = 14 inches, w = 8 inches and h = 4 inches

Substitute these in [1] we have;

$S = 2(14 \cdot 8 + 8 \cdot 4 + 4 \cdot 14) = 2(112+32+56) = 2(200) = 400 in^2$

Therefore, wrapping paper is needed to wrap the gift box is, 400 in²

We will use the formula for finding the surface area of a rectangular prism.

Formula =

SA = 2 (wl+hl+hw)SA = 2 (8·14 + 4·14 + 4·8)
SA = 2 (112 + 56 + 32)
SA = 2 (200)
SA = 400

The gift box needs C) 400 in wrapping paper to wrap the gift box.

What is the formula for the expected number of successes in a binomial experiment with n trials and probability of success p? C

charle [14.2K]

Answer:

$(D)E[ X ] =np.$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a binomial experiment with n trials and probability of success p,

$f(x)=\left(\begin{array}{c}n\\k\end{array}\right)p^x(1-p)^{n-x}, 0\leq x\leq n$

$E(X)=\sum_{x=0}^{n}xf(x)= \sum_{x=0}^{n}x\left(\begin{array}{c}n\\k\end{array}\right)p^x(1-p)^{n-x}$

Since each term of the summation is multiplied by x, the value of the term corresponding to x = 0 will be 0. Therefore the expected value becomes:

$E(X)=\sum_{x=1}^{n}x\left(\begin{array}{c}n\\x\end{array}\right)p^x(1-p)^{n-x}$

Now,

$x\left(\begin{array}{c}n\\x\end{array}\right)= \frac{xn!}{x!(n-x)!}=\frac{n!}{(x-)!(n-x)!}=\frac{n(n-1)!}{(x-1)!((n-1)-(x-1))!}=n\left(\begin{array}{c}n-1\\x-1\end{array}\right)$
