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

Which graph represents the function f (x) = StartFraction 2 Over x minus 1 EndFraction + 4?

Pepsi [2]

Answer:

On a coordinate plane, a hyperbola is shown. One curve opens up and to the right in quadrant 1, and the other curve opens down and to the left in quadrant 3. A vertical asymptote is at x = 1, and the horizontal asymptote is at y = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is presented as follows;

$f(x) = \dfrac{2}{x - 1} + 4$

From the given function, we have;

When x = 1, the denominator of the fraction, $\dfrac{2}{x - 1}$ , which is (x - 1) = 0, and the function becomes, $\dfrac{2}{1 - 1} + 4 = \dfrac{2}{0} + 4 = \infty + 4 = \infty$ therefore, the function in undefined at x = 1, and the line x = 1 is a vertical asymptote

Also we have that in the given function, as <em>x</em> increases, the fraction $\dfrac{2}{x - 1}$ tends to 0, therefore as x increases, we have;

$\lim_ {x \to \infty} \dfrac{2}{(x - 1)} \to 0, and \ \dfrac{2}{(x - 1)} + 4 \to 4$

Therefore, as x increases, f(x) → 4, and 4 is a horizontal asymptote of the function, forming a curve that opens up and to the right in quadrant 1

When -∞ < x < 1, we also have that as <em>x</em> becomes more negative, f(x) → 4. When x = 0, $\dfrac{2}{0 - 1} + 4 = 2$ . When <em>x</em> approaches 1 from the left, f(x) tends to -∞, forming a curve that opens down and to the left

Therefore, the correct option is on a coordinate plane, a hyperbola is shown. One curve opens up and to the right in quadrant 1, and the other curve opens down and to the left in quadrant 3. A vertical asymptote is at x = 1, and the horizontal asymptote is at y = 4.

What is the fraction twelve twentieths in its simplest form

Alla [95]

You mean $\frac{12}{20}$ or $\frac{20}{12}$ ?

If you had meant, $\frac{12}{20}$ , then the simplest form of this fraction would be - $\frac{3}{5}$

Divide both parts of the fraction by 4, and you get $\frac{3}{5}$ the simplest form of the fraction.
Finding out the simplest form of a given fraction is nothing else than cancelation.

Flop it, you have with you - $\frac{20}{12}$
Flop the simplest form of the previous fraction, that's $\frac{5}{3}$

If you had meant $\frac{20}{12}$ , then this will certainly be of any use to you.

HOW TO UNDERSTAND THAT THE FRACTION IS IN ITS SIMPLEST FORM?
Maybe, you are just simplifying and simplifying...but you don't even know when to stop. You can understand whether a fraction is in its simplest form or not by seeing that the numerator and the denominator have a common factor to divide it by, or not.

For instance, consider the case here - $\frac{3}{5}$ or $\frac{5}{3}$ <span>. We can't divide it any further. So, we know that it is in its simplest form.
</span>
L O N G Process:
Well, if you want to divide it by the smallest common factor to its larger, then --
$\frac{12}{20}$ or $\frac{20}{12}$

1) Divided by 2 = $\frac{6}{10}$ or $\frac{10}{6}$

2) Next, also by 2 = $\frac{3}{5}$ or $\frac{5}{3}$

That took much longer, right.<span> So, it is more preferable to divide the fraction by the possible largest common factor, you can guess of.</span>
