About 42% of people who get their eyes examined are found to be nearsighted (unable to see objects at a distance). What is the p

Answer:

(0.58)⁴ (0.42)¹

Step-by-step explanation:

42% of people who get their eyes examined are nearsighted.

So 58% of people who get their eyes examined are not nearsighted.

The probability that the ophthalmologist examines 4 people who are not near sighted, followed by 1 person who is nearsighted, is:

P = (0.58)⁴ (0.42)¹

1. All of the following are true except B. A. A random variable represents a numerical value assigned to an outcome of a probabi
kolezko [41]

Answer:

The true statements are :

A. A random variable is a numerical description of the outcome of a statistical experiment.

B. In most​ applications, discrete random variables represent counted​ data.

C. In most applications, continuous random variables represent measured data.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is true statement that,

A. A random variable is a numerical description of the outcome of a statistical experiment.

B. In most​ applications, discrete random variables represent counted​ data.

C. In most applications, continuous random variables represent measured data.

The false statement is -

D. The expected value of a discrete random variable is equal to the standard deviation of the random variable.

Reason -

The mean value, or expected value, of a discrete random variable X is given by the following equation:

μ = E(x) = ∑ x p(x)

And

The variance of a discrete random variable is given by the following formula:

σ²=∑ (x−μ)² P(x)

And

The square root of the variance, or, in other words, the square root of σ², is the standard deviation of a discrete random variable :

σ = √σ²

Help me please! I'm stuck and I need the answer now! Thx so much!
Bess [88]

Answer:

  • 34

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given</u>

  • z = -3 + 5i

<u>Conjugate of z is:</u>

  • z' = -3 - 5i

<u>Product zz' is:</u>

  • zz' = (-3 + 5i)(-3 - 5i) = (-3)² - (5i)² = 9 - 25(-1) = 9 + 25 = 34

You take a three-question true or false quiz. You guess on all the questions. What is the probability that you will get a perfec
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]
The probability that you will guess the first answer correctly  =  1/2  =  0.5
The probability that you will guess the second answer correctly  =  1/2  =  0.5
The probability that you will guess the third answer correctly  =  1/2  =  0.5

The probability that you will guess all three answers correctly is

                (0.5) x (0.5) x (0.5)  =  0.125  =  12.5% .

============================

Here are all the ways your answer sheet could wind up:
(R = a right answer.  W = a wrong answer.)

W W W 
W W R
W R W
W R R

Number of possible ways to score 0 right out of 3 questions:  1 way
Number of possible ways to score 1 right out of 3 questions:  3 ways
Number of possible ways to score 2 right out of 3 questions:  3 ways
Number of possible ways to score 3 right out of 3 questions:  1 way

Statistically, if your answers are all pure guesses, 
then on the average, the score you expect is

      (0 + 33-1/3 + 33-1/3 + 33-1/3 + 66-2/3 + 66-2/3 + 66-2/3 + 100) / 8

   =                  400 / 8

   =                      50%  .  

If you're happy with that score, great !  
Go to the movies the night before the test,
and start guessing.

Helpppp Plsssss ASAP!! Thanks​
inna [77]

Answer:

5/3 , -1

Step-by-step explanation:

You can find the roots of the equation by factoring. First, write the quadratic into standard form as ax^2+bx+c = 0.

2x - 3 = -5x^2\\5x^2+2x-3=0

The equation factors into two binomials (5x-3)(x+1). Set each factor to 0 and solve for x.

5x - 3 = 0

5x = 3

x = 3/5

x+1 = 0

x=-1
