Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a binomial distribution because the probabilities are either that of success or failure.

If probability of success, p = 3/8 = 0.375, then probability of failure, q = 1 - p = 1 - 0.375 = 0.625

The formula is expressed as

P(x = r) = nCr × p^r × q^(n - r)

Where

x represent the number of successes.

p represents the probability of success.

q = represents the probability of failure.

n represents the number of trials or sample.

n = 8

13) P(x = 3) = 8C3 × 0.375^3 × 0.625^(8 - 3) = 0.28

14) P(x = 6) = 8C6 × 0.375^6 × 0.625^(8 - 6) = 0.03

15) P(x = 1) = 8C1 × 0.375^1 × 0.625^(8 - 1) = 0.11

16) P(x = 5) = 8C5 × 0.375^5 × 0.625^(8 - 5) = 0.1

17) P(x ≥ 1) = 1 - P(x < 1)

P(x < 1) = P(x = 0)

P(x = 0) = 8C0 × 0.375^0 × 0.625^(8 - 0) = 0.023

P(x ≥ 1) = 1 - 0.023 = 0.977

18) P(x ≥2) = 1 - P(x < 2)

P(x < 2) = P(x = 0) + P(x = 1)

P(x = 0) = 8C0 × 0.375^0 × 0.625^(8 - 0) = 0.023

P(x = 1) = 8C1 × 0.375^1 × 0.625^(8 - 1) = 0.11

P(x ≥ 2) = 1 - (0.023 + 0.11) = 0.867

19) P(x ≥ 6) = P(x = 6) + P(x = 7) + P(x = 8)

P(x = 6) = 8C6 × 0.375^6 × 0.625^(8 - 6) = 0.03

P(x = 7) = 8C7 × 0.375^7 × 0.625^(8 - 7) = 0.005

P(x = 8) = 8C8 × 0.375^8 × 0.625^(8 - 8) = 0.0004

P(x ≥ 6) = 0.03 + 0.005 + 0.0004 = 0.0354

20) P(x ≥ 7) = P(x = 7) + P(x = 8)

P(x ≥ 7) = 0.005 + 0.0004 = 0.0054

21) P(x ≤ 6) = 1 - P(x = 8)

P(x ≤ 6) = 1 - 0.0004 = 0.9996

22) P(x ≤ 6) = 1 - [P(x = 7) + P(x = 8)]

P(x ≤ 6) = 1 - (0.005 + 0.0004) = 0.9946

When asked to write the domain for the equation y= |x - 6| + 3, Mary wrote the Domain is y &lt; 3. What mistake(s) did Mary make
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

Ok, the domain is the set of values that we can input in a function.

In this case, we have:

y = Ix - 6I + 3.

Notice that there is no restriction here, x can actually take any value, then the domain will be the set of all real numbers.

The correct domain is x, x ∈ R

Now, if we had (for example) something like:

y = Ix - 6I < 3

Now we have a restriction in the domain because we can not have y equal or larger than 3.

To find the domain, we can break the absolute value:

Ix - 6I < 3

is equivalent to:

-3 < x - 6 < 3

now let's add 6 in each side.

-3 + 6 < x - 6 + 6 < 3 + 6

3 < x < 9

That will be the domain in that case.

SVETLANKA909090 [29]
Add 11 + 16. Plug in 11 into b-2 since b equals eleven. You should now have 11+16+11-2. Do the same thing and plug in 16 for c and 11 for b for c-b. Your solution will now be 11+16+11-2+16-11.

myrzilka [38]

Answer:

Nathan earned 100 points. he lost the trivia game by 5 points.

Step-by-step explanation

3\frac{1}{3} * 33 = 110 points earned

\frac{1}{2} * 20 = 10 points lost

110-10 = 100

Nathan earned 100 points. he lost the trivia game by 5 points.
