Answer:

P(X=1)

And using the probability mass function we got:

P(X=1) = (5C1) (0.25)^1 (1-0.25)^{5-1}= 0.396

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  

For this cae that one buggy whip would be defective is p = \frac{5}{20}=0.25

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

X \sim Binom(n=5, p=0.25)  

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=1)

And using the probability mass function we got:

P(X=1) = (5C1) (0.25)^1 (1-0.25)^{5-1}= 0.396

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

2a. E = 8.25h + 1.2n

2b. E = 8.25 * 3.5 + 1.2 * 10 = $40.88

2c. 8.25 * 8 + 1.2n = 91.2

66 + 1.2n = 91.2

1.2n = 25.2

n = 21 magazines.

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

The probability that 8 mice are​ required is 0.2428.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A scientist inoculates​ mice, one at a​ time, with a disease germ until he finds 3 that have contracted the disease. If the probability of contracting the disease is two sevenths.

To find : What is the probability that 8 mice are​ required? The probability that that 8 mice are required is nothing ?

Solution :

Applying binomial distribution,

P(X=r)=^nC_r p^rq^{n-r}

Where, p is the probability of success p=\frac{2}{7}

q is the probability of failure q=1-p, q=1-\frac{2}{7}=\frac{5}{7}

n is total number of trials n=8

r=3

Substitute the values,

P(X=3)=^8C_3 (\frac{2}{7})^3 (\frac{5}{7})^{8-3}

P(X=3)=\frac{8!}{3!5!}\times \frac{8}{343}\times (\frac{5}{7})^{5}

P(X=3)=\frac{8\times 7\times 6}{3\times 2\times 1}\times \frac{8}{343}\times \frac{3125}{16807}

P(X=3)=0.2428

Therefore, the probability that 8 mice are​ required is 0.2428.

How do you find the square root of a number?
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

multiply a number  by a number

Step-by-step explanation:

such as 8 times 8=64

which means the square root of 64 is 8

3 times 3=9

so the square root of 9=3

Hope this  helps you
