Answer:
P(x < 3) = 0.1971
Explanation:
To calculate the probability that x babies weigh more than 20 pounds, we will use the binomial distribution, so it can be calculated as:
So, replacing n = 16 and p = 0.25, we get that the probability is equal to
P(x) = 16Cx (0.25)^x (1 - 0.25)^(16 - x)
Now, the probability that fewer than three weights more than 20 pounds are equal to
Then
P(x < 3) = 0.01 + 0.0535 + 0.1336
P(x < 3) = 0.1971
Therefore, the answer is
P(x < 3) = 0.1971

Step-by-step explanation:
Given
x² - 2x - 4 = 0 ( add 4 to both sides )
x² - 2x = 4
To solve use the method of completing the square
add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to both sides
x² + 2(- 1)x + 1 = 4 + 1
(x - 1)² = 5 ( take the square root of both sides )
x - 1 = ± ( add 1 to both sides )
x = 1 ± , thus
x = 1 + or x = 1 -
