Answer:

20.48% probability that she will see exactly two black squirrels out of the five

Step-by-step explanation:

For each squirrel, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is black, or it is not. The probability of a squirrel being black is independent of other squirrels. So we use the binomial probability distribition to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

20% of squirrels are black.

This means that p = 0.2

What is the probability that she will see exactly two black squirrels out of the five?

This is P(X = 2) when n = 5. So

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 2) = C_{5,2}.(0.2)^{2}.(0.8)^{3} = 0.2048

20.48% probability that she will see exactly two black squirrels out of the five

3m - (7m+12) =2 (m-3)
viktelen [127]
Remove parentheses
3m - 7m+12 = 2 m-3

collect like terms
3m-7m-12 = 2m-6

move terms
-4m - 12 = 2m-6

collect the like terms and calculate
-4m-2m = -6+12

divide both sides by -6
-6m=6

m= -1
