Answer:

a) P(X=0) = 500C0 (0.03)^0 (1-0.03)^{500-0} = 2.43x10^{-7}

b) E(X)= n*p = 500*0.03=15

c) P(X>2) = 1-P(X\leq 2)=0.99996

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".

Solution to the problem

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

X \sim Binom(n=500, p=0.03)

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!}

Part a

We want this probability:

P(X=0)

Using the probability mass function we got:

P(X=0) = 500C0 (0.03)^0 (1-0.03)^{500-0} = 2.43x10^{-7}

Part b

The expected number are:

E(X)= n*p = 500*0.03=15

Part c

We want this probability:

P(X>2) = 1-P(X\leq 2)

And we can find the individual probabilities and we got:

P(X=0) = 500C0 (0.03)^0 (1-0.03)^{500-0} = 2.43x10^{-7}

P(X=1) = 500C1 (0.03)^1 (1-0.03)^{500-1} = 3.76x10^{-6}

P(X=2) = 500C2 (0.03)^2 (1-0.03)^{500-2} = 2.90x10^{-5}

And after replace we got:

P(X>2) = 1-P(X\leq 2)=0.99996

What is 772,000 written in scientific notation?
SashulF [63]

When using scientific notation, the number (that is not 10 to the nth power) is always between 1 and 10.

For 772,000.0, I've added the decimal to the correct place. In order to get a number between 1 and 10, we will need to move the decimal 5 places. This leaves us with 7.72 x 10^5.

But, as I see that the answer above is not an option, and the only correct answer would be A, It is the only one between 1 and 10, I feel that there may be a mistake. For A to be correct, the original number would be 7,720,000,000.

Best answer: A

Hope this helps!! :)

Given the values of x and y find the exact (fraction) values of all six trig ratios
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance of (-3,4) to origin = √((-3)^2+4^2) = 5

sinθ = 4/5

cosθ = -3/5

tanθ = 4/(-3) = -4/3

cscθ = 1/sinθ = 5/4

secθ = 1/cosθ = -5/3

cotθ = 1/tanθ = -3/4

marshall27 [118]

Answer:

$13.60 is the correct sale price

Step-by-step explanation:

If a t-shirt is 15% off then you pay 85%. This means you will pay 0.85(16) = 13.60 is the correct sale price. $14 is not the correct price.
