In Texas, 30% of parolees from prison return to prison within 3 years. Suppose 15 prisoners are released from a Texas prison on

parole. Assume that whether or not one prisoner returns to prison is independent of whether any of the others return to prison. Let the random variable X be the number of parolees out of 15 that return to prison within 3 years. What are the values of the parameters for the binomial random variable X?

Answer:  n= 15

p= 0.30  

Step-by-step explanation:

Binomial distribution :

Let x be a binomial variable.

The probability of getting success in x trials is given by :-

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

Given : The proportion of parolees from prison return to prison within 3 years= 0.30

We assume that whether or not one prisoner returns to prison is independent of whether any of the others return to prison.

⇒  p =0.30

Let the random variable X be the number of parolees out of 15 that return to prison within 3 years.

⇒ n= 15

a particle moves along the x-axis so that anytime t comma measured in seconds it's position is given by...​
Natali5045456 [20]

Given the position function <em>s(t)</em>, you can get the acceleration function by differentiating <em>s</em> twice:

velocity = <em>s'(t)</em> = -5 sin(<em>t </em>) + 3 cos(3<em>t</em> )

acceleration = <em>s''(t)</em> = -5 cos(<em>t</em> ) - 9 sin(3<em>t</em> )

Then when <em>t</em> = <em>π</em>, the particle's acceleration is

<em>s''(π)</em> = -5 cos(<em>π</em>) - 9 sin(3<em>π</em>)

… = -5 • (-1) - 9 • 0 = 5

To factor the quadratic expression x^2−8x−10 by completing the square, what value would be added? A. 64 B. 8 C. 16 D.-16
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

When completing the square, we essentially want to create a perfect square trinomial by adding a constant.

If we have the following expression:

x^2+bx

And we want to complete the square, we will need to divide the b-coefficient by half and then square it.

Thus, the added term should be:

(b/2)^2

In the given equation, we have:

(x^2-8x)-10

The b term here is 8. Therefore:

(8/2)^2\\=(4)^2\\=16

The value we would add would be 16.

The answer is C.

Further notes:

To complete the square, add 16 like mentioned earlier. However, we also need to subtract 16 to balance things out:

(x^2-8x)-10\\=(x^2-8x+16)-10-16\\

The expression inside the parentheses is now a perfect square trinomial. Factor it:

=((x)^2-2(4)(x)+(4)^2)-26\\=(x-4)^2-26

And we are done!
