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

What is the probability from a two way table ?
vladimir1956 [14]
You may remember the two way relative frequency table where each entry in the table is divided by a total from the table. When each cell is divided by the table total (in this case 240), you get a two way whole table relative frequency. (There are also row and column relative frequency tables.)

I need help with finding interior/exterior angles. solve for “?”
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

3. 160

4. 105

5. 95

6. 30

7. 86

8. 130

All triangles equal 180 so when you add the other 2 degrees in the triangle then subtract that by 180 then you get the third angle. The a straight line also equals 180 degrees so when you get the third angle subtract it by 180 then you get the answer to the "?"

That's how I was taught so, hope I got it all right! : )

Solve for x and y:<br> x+y=5 x−y=a <br> PLEASE I NEED MY ANSWER TILL TOMORROW MORNING!
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

x=\frac{a+5}{2}  y=5-\frac{a+5}{2}  

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y=5

y=5-x

x-y=a

x-(5-x)=a

2x-5=a

2x=a+5

x=\frac{a+5}{2}  

x+y=5

\frac{a+5}{2}  +y=5

y=5-\frac{a+5}{2}
