We are told that y varies directly with x.
Therefore
y = k*x
where
k = the constant of variation
The given table and the ratio of k=y/x is shown below.
x y k
--- ------ --------
6 10 1.667
9 15 1.667
12 20 1.667
15 25 1.667
Answer:
k = 1.667
y = 1.667x
In a game of rock paper scissors, what are the chances that someone playing against a person playing only paper would win?
As for the answer, if you were to make a chart to show rock, paper, and scissors, you'd be able to see that there's a 2/3 chance of winning by choosing rock. With scissors, there's also a 2/3 chance to win. Now with paper, there's only a 1/3 chance to win. Knowing that the other person will only play paper, the best answers would be to choose either rock or scissors.
(there are, of course, flaws with this concept, because the opponent could be lying about playing only paper. More or less, it's a good design to show probability.)
Answer:
i think its obtuse scalene ??
Step-by-step explanation:
i might not be right but im pretty sure
Answer:
The probability is 0.0428
Step-by-step explanation:
First, let's remember that the binomial distribution is given by the formula:
![P(X=k) =\left[\begin{array}{ccc}n\\k\end{array}\right] p^{k}(1-p)^{n-k}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=P%28X%3Dk%29%20%3D%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7Dn%5C%5Ck%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20p%5E%7Bk%7D%281-p%29%5E%7Bn-k%7D)
where k is the number of successes in n trials and p is the probability of success.
However, the problem tells us that when there isn't a number of trials fixed, we can use the geometric distribution and the formula for getting the first success on the xth trial becomes:
The problem asks us to find the probability of the first success on the 4th trial (given that the first subject to be a universal blood donor will be the fourth person selected)
Using this formula with the parameters given, we have:
p = 0.05
x = 4
Substituting these parameters in the formula and solving it, we get:
Therefore, the probability that the first subject to be a universal blood donor is the fourth person selected is 0.0428 or 4.28%
