Answer:

P(x \geq 6)=P(X=6)+P(X=7)

And we can find the individual probabilities:

P(X=6)=(7C6)(0.91)^6 (1-0.91)^{7-6}=0.358

P(X=7)=(7C7)(0.91)^7 (1-0.91)^{7-7}=0.517

And replacing we got:

P(x \geq 6)=P(X=6)+P(X=7)= 0.358+0.517=0.875

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The binomial distribution is a "DISCRETE probability distribution that summarizes the probability that a value will take one of two independent values under a given set of parameters. The assumptions for the binomial distribution are that there is only one outcome for each trial, each trial has the same probability of success, and each trial is mutually exclusive, or independent of each other".

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable of interest, on this case we now that:

X \sim Binom(n=7, p=1-0.09=0.91)

The probability associated to a failure would be p =1-0.09 = 0.91

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:

P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:

nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}

And we want to find this probability:

P(x \geq 6)=P(X=6)+P(X=7)

And we can find the individual probabilities:

P(X=6)=(7C6)(0.91)^6 (1-0.91)^{7-6}=0.358

P(X=7)=(7C7)(0.91)^7 (1-0.91)^{7-7}=0.517

And replacing we got:

P(x \geq 6)=P(X=6)+P(X=7)= 0.358+0.517=0.875

Scientific notation The table shows the amount of money raised by each region the four regions used a total of $ (5.38×10^4) How
Serggg [28]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  $8.65×10^3

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount the West raised is the difference between the total and the sum of the other amounts raised. It is convenient to use a multiplier of 10^4 for each of the numbers, so the number for South can be rewritten as 0.675×10^4.

  West = 5.38×10^4 -1.46×10^4 -2.38×10^4 -0.675×10^4

  = (5.38 -1.46 -2.38 -0.675)×10^4

  = 0.865×10^4 = 8.65×10^3

West raised $8.65×10^3.

_____

Your calculator can figure this for you. You can set the final display to scientific notation format, if you need to.

Which of the following is another way to express the difference between -5 and 8?
dmitriy555 [2]
Answer: -5+8 because the difference (-) of -5 and 8 is 8 - (- 5) which can also be expressed as -5+8. All that matters is that 5 stays negative and 8 stays positive.
