Answer: 0.26

Step-by-step explanation:

Binomial probability formula :-

P(X=x)=^nC_x\ p^x\ (1-p)^{n-x}, where P(x) is the probability of getting success in x trials , n is total number of trials and p is the probability of getting success in each trial.

Given : The probability of winning = \dfrac{1}{6}

Let X be the random variable that represents the number of sodas.

Since he is guaranteed that he will win one soda .

If Cody buys 6 sodas, then the probability that he will win at least one more soda will be :

P(x\geq2 )=1-(P(0)+P(1))\\\\=1-(^6C_0\ (\dfrac{1}{6})^0\ (1-\dfrac{1}{6})^{6-0}+^6C_1\ (\dfrac{1}{6})^1\ (1-\dfrac{1}{6})^{6-1})\\\\=1-((\dfrac{5}{6})^6+(\dfrac{5}{6})^5)\approx0.26

Hence, the true probability he will win at least one more soda =0.26

Which equation describes this line (1,10) (-3,2)
zubka84 [21]
Find the slope first:
m=y2-y-1/x2-x1

m=2-10/-3-1
m= -8/-4
m= 2

Select a point & put into y=mx+b to find b.
y=mx +b
10 =2(1) + b
10 =2 +b
8 = b

Rewrite the equation with your slope &intercept:

y=2x + 8

That's ^ the equation that describes your line!

Sarah Meeham blends coffee for Tasti-Delight. She needs to prepare 160 pounds of blended coffee beans selling for $4.97 per poun
jok3333 [9.3K]
Given:
let h be the high quality bean
let c be the cheaper bean

h + c = 160
6h + 3.25c = 160*4.97
6h + 3.25c = 795.20

h = 160 - c
6(160 - c) + 3.25c = 795.20
960 - 6c + 3.25c = 795.20
-2.75c = 795.20 - 960 
-2.75c = -164.80
c = -164.80 / -2.75
c = 59.92 or 60 lbs

h = 160 - c
h = 160 - 60
h = 100 lbs

Sarah should blend 60 lbs of cheap coffee bean and 100 lbs of high quality coffee bean.

On a number line, point S has coordinate 4.8 and point T has coordinate –2.3.
Ilya [14]

Answer:

The only answer that would work would be D) | 4.8 - ( -2.3) |

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because the distance is the absolute value of the difference of the two numbers. B and C would also work, but the 2.3 is not negative. A does not work because it is addition.
