Answer:

A)0.86

B)0.99

C)6.047E-13

Step-by-step explanation:

Since p = 0.01 and q= 0.99

Number of event n = 15

Using binomial expansion

A) Probability (No samples are mutated) = 15C0 (p)^0 * (q)^15

= 1*(0.01)^0*(0.99)^15 = 0.86

B)Probability (At most one sample is mutated) = 15C0 * p^0 *q^15 + 15C1 * p^1 * q^14 = 1*(0.01)^0*(0.99)^15 + 15C1 * 0.01 * 0.99^14 = 0.86 + 15*0.01*0.8687 = 0.86 + 0.13 = 0.99

C) Probability (More than half the samples are mutated) = 15C8* 0.01^8 * 0.99^7 + 15C9* 0.01^9 * 0.99^6 +15C10* 0.01^10 *0.99^5 + 15C11 * 0.01^11 * 0.99^4 + 15C12 * 0.01^12 * 0.99^3 + 15C13 * 0.01^13 * 0.99^ 2 + 15C14 * 0.01^14 * 0.99^1 + 15C15 * 0.01^15 * 0.99^0

Probability (More than half the samples are mutated) = 6E-13 + 4.71E-15 + 2.86E-17 + 1.31E-19 + 4.41E-22 + 1.03E-24 + 1.49E-27 + 1E-30 = 6.047E-13

Solve the following system of equations: −2x + y = 1 −4x + y = −1
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

<h2>x = 1, y = 3 → (1, 3)</h2>

I thought of a number, added 4 5/7 to it, and got the number 12 times as big as my original what was my number
Genrish500 [490]
Let's call the number you thought of n. Then what the two steps you took can be written as an equation:
n+4\frac{5}{7}=12n

Subtract n to get all of your variables to one side:
4\frac{5}{7}=11n

At this point, I recommend turning your mixed number into an improper fraction. It will make things easier later on:
\frac{33}{7}=11n

Now divide both sides by 11 to get the value of n:
\frac{3}{7}=n

X + 4y = 16<br> -X + 3y = -2 ​
jeyben [28]

Answer:

(8, 2 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

x + 4y = 16 → (1)

- x + 3y = - 2 → (2)

Adding the 2 equations term by term will eliminate the x- term

0 + 7y = 14

7y = 14 ( divide both sides by 7 )

y = 2

Substitute y = 2 into either of the 2 equations and solve for x

Substituting into (1)

x + 4(2) = 16

x + 8 = 16 ( subtract 8 from both sides )

x = 8

solution is (8, 2 )

Need help with number 22
Serga [27]
The sums range from 2 to 12 of which 6 are even out of 11 possible sums.
There are 4 multiples of 3, two of which are odd.

So the number of even sums is 6 and there are 2 unique or odd multiples of 3.

So there are a total 6+2=8 outcomes we want out of 36 possible outcomes.

The probability is then 8/36 or 2/9
