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

What happens to the mean of the data set shown below if the number 20 is added to the data set?
defon

Answer:

This shows that the mean increases by 2.95

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume the given data is 2, 5, 6, 8

Mean = 2 +5+6+8/4

Mean = 21/4

Mean = 5.25

If number 20 is added, the data becomes 2, 5, 6, 8, 20

New mean = 2 +5+6+8+20/4

New mean = 41/5

New mean = 8.2

Taking the difference in the mean:

Difference = 8.2 - 5.25

Difference = 2.95

This shows that the mean increases by 2.95

<em>NB: The data used was assumed since we are not given any data in question</em>

#25.
Convert the fractional numbers into decimals for easier comparison.
3 2/3 is approximately 3.66
-4 2/5 is approximately -4.4
We now have: 3, 3.66, -4.2, -4.4
In order: -4 2/5, -4.2, 3, 3 2/3

#26.
All positive numbers are greater than negative numbers.
When comparing two negative numbers, the one with the larger absolute value, will be less.
So (G) is correct

#27. 
25 = m + 6.3
25 - 6.3 = m + 6.3 - 6.3
m = 18.7

#28.
h = 3.2-1.6 = 1.6

#29.
x = 15.6 - 9.8 = 5.8

#30
p = 17 - 4.5 = 12.5
