In a class of 100 students, 20 students have hard copy and 80 students have electronic textbooks for the course. If you randomly

choose 10 students in this class, find the approximate probability using a binomial distribution that 3 of them have hard copy texts (round off to second decimal place).

Answer:

P(X=3)

And if we use the probability mass function we got:

P(X=3)=(10C3)(0.2)^3 (1-0.2)^{10-3}=0.201 \approx 0.20

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 "number of students with hard copy texts", on this case we now that:

X \sim Binom(n=10, p=20/100=0.2)

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!}

And we want to find this probability:

P(X=3)

And if we use the probability mass function we got:

P(X=3)=(10C3)(0.2)^3 (1-0.2)^{10-3}=0.201 \approx 0.20

What the value of p in the question shown
hammer [34]
It would be D because you have to do the cube root on both sides. What I do is ignore the decimal and add it in later once the math is complete like on this question you can tell by process of elimination that 8 squared is 64 but you’re look for the cube root so that eliminates a and c and now just make sure the decimal is in the right place

Can anyone explain please?
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

x = 55

Step-by-step explanation:

In a rhombus, each diagonal bisects a pair of opposite angles.

For this parallelogram t be a rhombus, the angles with measures 2x - 40 and x + 15 must be congruent.

2x - 40 = x + 15

Subtract x from both sides.

x - 40 = 15

Add 40 to both sides.

x = 55

A line had a slope of 2/3 and a y intercept at (0,14).What is the x intercept of the line?​
pychu [463]

Answer:

y=2/3x+14

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form of an equation in slope-intercept form is y=mx+b where m=slope and b=y-intercept.

Given a y-intercept of 14 and a slope of 2/3, we can plug into the variables and get the equation y=2/3x+14

The x-intercept would be when y=0, so plugging in y=0 to the equation gets us:

0=2/3x+14

-14=2/3x

21=x

So the x-intercept is 21
