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

Find the measure of x . Answer me please
Komok [63]

Answer:

40

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of measure of exterior angles is equal to 360

5x-20+2x+5+x+15+x = 360 add like terms

9x = 360 divide both sides by 9

x = 40

Find the missing side.​
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a right triangle, but note that you only know the measurement of one angle, which is 90 degrees.

Use the following formula to solve:

a² + b² = c²

In which:

a & b = shorter sides

c = hypotenuse

Plug in the corresponding numbers to the corresponding variables:

(3)² + (4)² = ?²

Solve. Remember to follow PEMDAS. First, solve the exponents, then add:

(3)² = (3 * 3) = (9)

(4)² = (4 * 4) = (16)

9 + 16 = ?²

25 = ?²

Isolate "?". Root both sides:

√(25) = √(?²)

? = √25 = √(5 * 5) = 5

Your missing side's measurement is 5.
