Remainder of question:

Find the probability distribution of x

Answer:

The random variable x is defined as: X = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4}

The probability distribution of X:

P(X = 0) = 0.656

P(X = 1) = 0.2916

P(X= 2) = 0.0486

P(X=3) = 0.0036

P(X = 4) = 0.0001

Step-by-step explanation:

Sample size, n = 4

Random variable, X = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4}

10% (0.1) of the homeowners are insured against earthquake, p = 0.1

Proportion of homeowners who are not insured against earthquake, q = 1 - 0.1

q = 0.9

Probability distribution of x,

P(X = r) = ^nC_r *p^r q^{n-r} \\\\P(X= 0) =(^4C_0 *p^1 q^4 )\\P(X=0) = (^4C_0 *0.1^0 0.9^4 ) = 0.656\\P(X= 1)= (^4C_1 *p^1 q^3 )\\P(X=1) = (^4C_1 *0.1^1 0.9^3 ) = 0.2916\\P(X= 2)=( ^4C_2 *p^2 q^2) \\P(X=2) = (^4C_2 *0.1^2 0.9^2 ) = 0.0486\\P(X= 3) = (^4C_3 *p^3 q^3) \\ P(X=3) = (^4C_3 *0.1^3 0.9^1 ) = 0.0036\\P(X= 4) =  (^4C_4 *p^4 q^0 )\\ P(X=4) =(^4C_4 *0.1^4 0.9^0 ) = 0.0001

How to solve 6x - 9 - 2 (1 - x) = x + 9​
Likurg_2 [28]

x = 2.857

\large\mathfrak{{\pmb{\underline{\red{Step-by-step\:explanation}}{\orange{:}}}}}

6x - 9 - 2(1 - x) = x + 9 \\ ⇢ 6x - 9 - 2 + 2x = x + 9 \\ ⇢ 8x - x = 9 + 11 \\ ⇢ 7x = 20 \\ ⇢  x =  \frac{20}{7}  \\ ⇢ x = 2.857

{ \bf{ \underbrace{To\:verify:}}}

6 \times 2.857 - 9 - 2(1 - 2.857) = 2.857 + 9 \\ ➪ \: 17.142 - 9 - 2 \times(  - 1.857) = 11.857 \\➪ \: 8.142 + 3.714 = 11.857 \\➪ \: 11.856 = 11.857 \\  ➪ \: 11.86 = 11.86 \\ ➪ L.H.S.=R. H. S

Hence verified.
