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

Ryan is 23 years older than stacy. In 6 years he will be 2 times her age. how old is each person now?
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

Ryan 40

Stacy 17

Step-by-step explanation:

x -----> Stacy

x + 23 -----> Ryan

x + 6  Stacy

x + 23 + 6   Ryan

x + 29 Ryan

 

x + 29 = 2(x + 6)

x + 29 = 2x + 12

x - 2x = 12  - 29

-x = - 17

x = 17 Stacy

x + 23

17 + 23

40 Ryan

What is the equation in point slope form of the line passing through (0,5) and (-2,11)
IRISSAK [1]

The equation of the line passing through (x_1,y_1) and (x_2,y_2) is

\frac{x-x_1}{y-y_1} =\frac{x_2-x_1}{y_2-y_1}. Here

\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} is the slope of the line.

Substituting numerical values, the equation of the line is

\frac{x-0}{y-5} =\frac{-2-0}{11-5} \\ \frac{x}{y-5} =-\frac{1}{3} \\ 3x=5-y\\ 3x+y=5

The equation of the line is 3x+y=5
