Can anyone explain to me what this is asking/how to do this? I think it's for the summation formula
et/?f=S_%7Bn%7D%20%3Dn%28%5Cfrac%7Ba_%7B1%7D%2Ba_%7Bn%7D%20%20%7D%7B2%7D%29" id="TexFormula1" title="S_{n} =n(\frac{a_{1}+a_{n} }{2})" alt="S_{n} =n(\frac{a_{1}+a_{n} }{2})" align="absmiddle" class="latex-formula"> but if I'm given a1, an, and n, what are the other numbers for?

Answer:
a) The expected value is given by:
and the variance is given by:
b)
And we can find this probability with the following Excel code:
=1-BINOM.DIST(25,50,0.4,TRUE)
And we got:
c) 1) Random sample (assumed)
2) np= 50*0.4= 20 >10
n(1-p) =50*0.6= 30>10
3) Independence (assumed)
Since the 3 conditions are satisfied we can use the normal approximation:
d)
e)
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".
Let X the random variable of interest, on this case we now that:
The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:
Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:
Part a
The expected value is given by:
and the variance is given by:
Part b
For this case we want to find this probability:
And we can find this probability with the following Excel code:
=1-BINOM.DIST(25,50,0.4,TRUE)
And we got:
Part c
1) Random sample (assumed)
2) np= 50*0.4= 20 >10
n(1-p) =50*0.6= 30>10
3) Independence (assumed)
Since the 3 conditions are satisfied we can use the normal approximation:
Part d
We want this probability:
Part e
For this case we use the continuity correction and we have this:
Answer:
12 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Alyssa takes part in the triathlon. She cycles 4/5 of the route, runs 1/8 of the route, and swims the rest of the way. She swims 0.9 miles. Find the total distance of the triathlon route.
Total distance Alyssa cycled and ran =
=
Distance she swam = 1 - 37/40 = 3/40
3/40 of the distance is 0.9
the total distance = 40/3 x 0.9 = 12 miles
