Suppose 85% of all students taking a beginning programming course fail to get their first program to run on first submission. Co

nsider a group of 7 such students,where each student's success is independent from the other and the chance each student fails on their first try is consistent. (Round answers to three decimal places.)
a. What is the probability exactly 6 fail on their first submissions?
b. What is the probability 6 or less fail on their first submissions?
c. What is the probability at least 6 fail on their first submissions?
d. How many students should be expected to fail?
e. What is the standard deviation?

Answer:

a) P(X=6)=(7C6)(0.85)^6 (1-0.85)^{7-6}=0.396

b) P(X\leq 6)

And we can use the complement rule and we got:

P(X\leq 6)= 1- P(X>6) = 1-P(X = 7)

P(X=7)=(7C7)(0.85)^7 (1-0.85)^{7-7}=0.321

And replacing we got:

P(x \leq 6) = 1-0.321= 0.679

c) P(X\geq 6)= P(X=6) +P(X=7) = 0.396+0.321= 0.717

d) E(X) = 7*0.85= 5.95

e) \sigma = \sqrt{7*0.85*(1-0.85)}=0.945

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=0.85)

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!}

Part a

We want this probability:

P(X=6)

And using the probability mas function we got:

P(X=6)=(7C6)(0.85)^6 (1-0.85)^{7-6}=0.396

Part b

We want this probability:

P(X\leq 6)

And we can use the complement rule and we got:

P(X\leq 6)= 1- P(X>6) = 1-P(X = 7)

P(X=7)=(7C7)(0.85)^7 (1-0.85)^{7-7}=0.321

And replacing we got:

P(x \leq 6) = 1-0.321= 0.679

Part c

We want this probability:

P(X\geq 6)= P(X=6) +P(X=7) = 0.396+0.321= 0.717

Part d

the expected value is given by:

E(X) = 7*0.85= 5.95

Part e

The standard deviation is given by:

\sigma = \sqrt{7*0.85*(1-0.85)}=0.945

Sarah had 8 guests at her birthday party. She cut her round cake into 12 equal slices. 8 of the slices were eaten. What is the a
Dvinal [7]

Answer:120°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

cake is cut into 12 equal pieces

We know the top view of cake is similar to circle .

So, if a circle is divided into 12 equal parts then

each part subtend an angle of

∅ = 360/12 = 30%

If 8 slices were eaten , then 4 slices are remaining

These 4 slices measure subtend equal angle at the center therefore

4 slice measure a total of 4 × ∅

➡️ 4 x 30°

➡️ 120°

7 less than the product of a number and 8, increased by a number multiplied by 2
nataly862011 [7]

The expression for 7 less than the product of a number and 8, increased by a number multiplied by 2 is 8n-7 +2n

Given :

7 less than the product of a number and 8, increased by a number multiplied by 2

We need to write the given statement in an expression

Lets 'n' be the unknown number

the product of a number and 8

Product means multiplication

the product of a number and 8 mean n times 8 that is 8n

7 less than the product of a number and 8, subtract 7 from 8n

Expression becomes 8n-7

This is increased by a number multiplied by 2

number multiplied by 2 is 2n

So the final expression for the given statement is 8n-7 +2n

 How many​ flowers, spaced every 3 ​in., are needed to surround a circular garden with a 150​-ft ​radius? Use 3.14 for pi.
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

3,768\ flowers

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the circumference of the circular garden

The circumference of the circle is equal to

C=2\pi r

we have

r=150\ ft

\pi=3.14

substitute the values

C=2(3.14)(150)=942\ ft

step 2

<em>Convert feet to inches</em>

Remember that

1\ ft=12\ in

942\ ft=942*12=11,304\ in

step 3

Divide the circumference by 3 in to calculate the number of flowers

11,304/3=3,768\ flowers
