If a procedure meets all of the conditions of a binomial distribution except the number of trials is not​ fixed, then the geomet

ric distribution can be used. The probability of getting the first success on the xth trial is given by ​P(x)equalsp (1 minus p )Superscript x minus 1​, where p is the probability of success on any one trial. Subjects are randomly selected for a health survey. The probability that someone is a universal donor​ (with group O and type Rh negative​ blood) is 0.09. Find the probability that the first subject to be a universal blood donor is the seventh person selected.

Answer:

The probability that the first subject to be a universal blood donor is the seventh person selected is 0.0511

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start defining the random variable X.

X : ''The first success is on the xth trial''

X can be modeled as a geometric random variable with the following probability function :

P(X=x)=p(1-p)^{x-1}

Where P(X=x) is the probability of the random variable X to assumes the value ''x''.

The variable p is the success probability.

For this exercise, we define a success as someone randomly selected is a universal donor and that probability is p=0.09

We are looking for : P(X=7)

The probability function is :

P(X=x)=(0.09)(0.91)^{x-1}

P(X=7)=(0.09)(0.91)^{7-1}=(0.09)(0.91)^{6}=0.0511

Ari’s teacher says he may have his report grade based on either the mean or the median of his last six test scores.
viva [34]

The mean would be the best! The mean is when you add up all of those grades and divide by the amount of exams.

If you're solving it,

504 is the total divided by 6 tests would be 84.

How would you graph this????Plz help
mylen [45]
\bf 2x-5=3\implies 2x=3+5\implies x=\cfrac{8}{2}\implies x=4

now.. to graph that

let us make a quick table
\bf \begin{array}{lrlll}
x&y\\
\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash&\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\\
4&-\infty \\
4&-1,000,000,000\\
4&-1,000,000\\
4&-1,000\\
4&-100\\
4&-10\\
4&-1\\
4&0\\
4&1\\
4&10\\
4&100\\
4&1,000\\
4&1,000,000\\
4&1,000,000,000\\
4&+\infty 
\end{array}

so.. you can either plot those points there on the table,
or just bear in mind x = 4, no matter what "y" is,
namely, x = 4 is just a vertical line at x = 4 :)

Mr.Jones has 3/4 cup of fertilizer. He will use a 1/8 cup measuring scoop to pour all of the fertilizer onto his plants. How man
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

Mr. Jones fills the cup 6 times with fertilizer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The capacity of the measuring cup = 1/8 cup

The total quantity of the fertilizer = 3/4 cup

Noe, as we know

total measure fertilizer =  The capacity of the cup X number of times it takes.

So, \frac{3}{4}   = n \times \frac{1}{8}

or, here n = \frac{3 \times 8}{4}  = 6

So, Mr. Jones fills the cup 6 times with fertilizer.
