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

Given, (0,−2).

Since the x-coordinate is 0, the point clearly lies on y-axis.

Also, the y-coordinate −2 being negative, the point lies on the negative y-axis.

Y = 3x - 1 ---- (1)
x - y = -9  ---- (2)

From Equation 2:
x - y = - 9
x + 9 = y 
y = x + 9 --- (2a)

(1) - (2a):
0 = 3x - x - 1 - 9
0 = 2x - 10
2x - 10 = 0
2x = 10
x = 5 ---- sub into (1)

y = 3(5) - 1 
y = 15 - 1
y = 14

Mrs. Stern washed
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

Mrs. Stern washed more

\frac{7}{20} laundry still needs to be washed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total amount of laundry: \frac{20}{20}

\frac{20}{20} -\frac{2}{5}-\frac{1}{4} =

\frac{20}{20} - \frac{8}{20} -\frac{5}{20} =

\frac{7}{20} of the laundry still needs to be done.

Mrs. Stern washed \frac{8}{20} of the laundry.

Her son washed \frac{5}{20} of the laundry.

Mrs. Stern washed more laundry than her son.
