Answer:

The probability is 0.0014

Step-by-step explanation:

When we have two possible outcomes p, q and we repeat the experiment multiple times, we apply the Binomial distribution, in this distribution the probability of getting exactly k successes in n trials is given by

P(X=k)  = nCk(p)^k(1-p)^{n-k}

where p represents the probability of success. nCk refers to the combinations of k elements out of n elements.

In this case, p= .29 (the probability that the person says "yes" being confident that passenger trips to the moon will occur in their lifetime.

q = .71 (The probability that the person says "no")

We sample 200 americans, therefore, we have n = 200 and we need the probability that less than 40% of the people sampled answer "yes".

The 40% of 200 is 80. So, in other words, we need less than 80 people to answer yes to the question.

P(x<80) = P(x=0) + P(x=1) + P(x=2) + .... + P(x=79) = 0.00143466294 (we can use a Binomial Distribution calculator to compute this result)

Therefore, P(x < 80) = 0.0014

Answer:

2x+3y=-6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the line is y=mx+b where m is slope and b is y-intercept.

The line is parallel to 2x+3y=3, slope of both the lines will be same.

Find the slope of 2x+3y=3

3y=3-2x\\y=-\frac{2}{3}x+1

Slope of line=-\frac{2}{3}

m=-\frac{2}{3}

So the line will be y=-\frac{2}{3}x+b

It passes through (3,-4).

-4=-\frac{2}{3}\times 3+b\\-4=-2+b\\b=-2\\

Hence the line is y=-\frac{2}{3}x-2

y=-\frac{2}{3}x-2\\3y=-2x-6\ \ \ \ \ \ \ (Multiply both sides by 3)\\2x+3y=-6

A cylindrical specimen of cold-worked copper has a ductility (%el) of 25%. if its cold-worked radius is 10 mm, what was its radi
loris [4]

The radius of the cylinder before deformation is 7.5mm

<h3>Deformation of an object</h3>

From the given question, we are given that;

cold work radius of the cylinder is 10mm

Ductility = 25%

Determine the radius before deformation

Radius before deformation = (1-  0.5) + 10

Radius before deformation = 0.75 * 10

Radius before deformation = 7.5mm

Hence the radius of the cylinder before deformation is 7.5mm

3(x+6)=2(4x+14)<br> what is the value of x?
GrogVix [38]
Hi there

3(x + 6) = 2(4x + 14)
3x + 18 = 8x + 28
3x - 8x = 28 - 18
-5x = 10
x= 10/-5
x = -2


Here it is :)
