Answer:

a) P(X=3) = 12C3 (0.24)^3 (1-0.24)^{12-3}= 0.2573

b)  P(X=0) = 12C0 (0.24)^0 (1-0.24)^{12-0}= 0.037

P(X=1) = 12C1 (0.24)^1 (1-0.24)^{12-1}= 0.1407

P(X=2) = 12C2 (0.24)^2 (1-0.24)^{12-2}= 0.2573

P(X=3) = 12C3 (0.24)^3 (1-0.24)^{12-3}= 0.1828

And after replace we got:

P( X \geq 4) = 1-0.6795 = 0.3205

c) P(X=0) = 12C0 (0.24)^0 (1-0.24)^{12-0}= 0.037

P(X=1) = 12C1 (0.24)^1 (1-0.24)^{12-1}= 0.1407

P(X=2) = 12C2 (0.24)^2 (1-0.24)^{12-2}= 0.2573

P(X=3) = 12C3 (0.24)^3 (1-0.24)^{12-3}= 0.1828

P(X=4) = 12C4 (0.24)^4 (1-0.24)^{12-4}= 0.1828

P(X=5) = 12C5 (0.24)^5 (1-0.24)^{12-5}= 0.092

P(X=6) = 12C6 (0.24)^6 (1-0.24)^{12-6}= 0.034

P(X=7) = 12C7 (0.24)^6 (1-0.24)^{12-7}= 0.00921

And we got:

P(X

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts  

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".  

Part a

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

X \sim Binom(n=12, p=0.24)  

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!}  

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

P(X=3) = 12C3 (0.24)^3 (1-0.24)^{12-3}= 0.2573

Part b

For this case we want this probability:

P(X \geq 4)

And we can use the complement rule and we got:

P(X \geq 4) = 1-P(X

And we can find the individual probabilites and we got:

P(X=0) = 12C0 (0.24)^0 (1-0.24)^{12-0}= 0.037

P(X=1) = 12C1 (0.24)^1 (1-0.24)^{12-1}= 0.1407

P(X=2) = 12C2 (0.24)^2 (1-0.24)^{12-2}= 0.2573

P(X=3) = 12C3 (0.24)^3 (1-0.24)^{12-3}= 0.1828

And after replace we got:

P( X \geq 4) = 1-0.6795 = 0.3205

Part c

For this case we want this probability:

P(X

We can find the individual probabilites and we got:

P(X=0) = 12C0 (0.24)^0 (1-0.24)^{12-0}= 0.037

P(X=1) = 12C1 (0.24)^1 (1-0.24)^{12-1}= 0.1407

P(X=2) = 12C2 (0.24)^2 (1-0.24)^{12-2}= 0.2573

P(X=3) = 12C3 (0.24)^3 (1-0.24)^{12-3}= 0.1828

P(X=4) = 12C4 (0.24)^4 (1-0.24)^{12-4}= 0.1828

P(X=5) = 12C5 (0.24)^5 (1-0.24)^{12-5}= 0.092

P(X=6) = 12C6 (0.24)^6 (1-0.24)^{12-6}= 0.034

P(X=7) = 12C7 (0.24)^6 (1-0.24)^{12-7}= 0.00921

And we got:

P(X

Which of the following graphs represent a nonproportional relationship? Select all that apply.
natka813 [3]

Answer:

2nd, 4th and 5th one

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey There!

So remember in order for it to be a proportional relationship it has to be a straight line and it has to go through the origin (0,0)

The 2nd, 4th and 5th ones are non proportional relationships

Why? Well because they don't go through the origin

A gardener measures every plant in her garden and notes that 28% are under 6 inches, 54% are between six and 8 inches and the re
Masteriza [31]

<u>Answer:</u>

The vertical axis should begin with 0 inches.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

The vertical axis must start with 0 inches to ensure accuracy for the measures of every plant since 28% of the plants in the garden are under 6 inches.

If the vertical axis begins with 6 inches or above, we can miss a lot of the gardener's data, especially the plants which are under 6 inches.

Therefore, to ensure that the graph does not mislead any measures of the plant, the vertical axis must begin with 0 inches.

2b^2 + 81/2 b + 4 


basically 2b^2 + 16b + 49/2 b + 4 
= (2b^2) + 16b+49/2b) + (4) 
= 2b^2 + 81/2 b + 4
