Answer:

D. 0.5256

Step-by-step explanation:

Use binomial probability:

P = nCr p^r q^(n-r)

where n is the number of trials,

r is the number of successes,

p is the probability of success,

and q is the probability of failure (1-p).

Given n = 10, p = 0.25, and q = 0.75.

If r = 0:

P = ₁₀C₀ (0.25)⁰ (0.75)¹⁰⁻⁰

P = 0.0563

If r = 1:

P = ₁₀C₁ (0.25)¹ (0.75)¹⁰⁻¹

P = 0.1877

If r = 2:

P = ₁₀C₂ (0.25)² (0.75)¹⁰⁻²

P = 0.2816

So the total probability is:

P = 0.0563 + 0.1877 + 02816

P = 0.5256

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

So 25% of all students knowing how to read means if you pick a random student there is a 25% chance of them being able to read.  if you picked 2 it would be .25*.25 = .0625 or 6.25% both know how to read.  If you picked 10 it would be .25^10 probability that all 10 know how to read.

You want to know the probability of 2 or less (it says fewer than 3 so that's 2 or less) of the 10 being able to read.  I think there is a formula, but I don't know it so I'm going to brute force it.

I am going to find the chance of one knowing how to read and two knowing then add them.  

If we labeled the students A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I,J there are 10 different variations where just 1 can read, so we can find one  and then multiply by 10.  In short for one we just multiply the probabilities, so .75^9 * .25, then we multiply by 10 to represent all 10.  so in total, the odds of one new student being able to read is 10*.25*.75^9

Now the chance fo exactly two knowing how to read.  First, how many variations are there.  It is a combination since student A and B knowing is the same as B and A.  so 10C2 or 10 choose 2.  If you don't know how to calculate combinations let me know.  10C2 = 45.  So now if we find the probability of one possibility of two students knowing how to read we can multiply it by 45.

Now to find the probability of any two knowing, we again multiply all the probabilities.  .25^2 * .75^8 then multiply by 45 so 45 * .25^2 * .75^8

Now we know the probability of exactly one knowing how to read and exactly two, so we just add them to get the probability of 1 or 2 knowing.  

10*.25*.75^9 + 45 * .25^2 * .75^8

It doesn't look like any of those are the answer so i have to ask if you have the right values, otherwise I may be wrong.

Answer:

Triangles A & C are right triangles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangles A & C are right triangles because they make a 90 degree angle were a pair of legs intersect. That box in the corner of each triangle indicates that the triangle is 90 degrees, therefore a right triangle.

No it does not affect the sum because they have the same sign so it wouldn't make a difference

Identify the vertex, axis of symmetry, maximum, or minimum, domain and range of each function.
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:  see below

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

The vertex form of a quadratic equation is:    y = a(x - h)² + k     where

  • "a" is the vertical stretch (positive = min [U], negative = max [∩])
  • (h, k) is the vertex
  • Axis of Symmetry is always: x = h
  • Domain is always: x = All Real Numbers
  • Range is y ≥ k when "a" is positive or y ≤ k when "a" is negative

a) y = 2(x - 2)² + 5

        ↓       ↓      ↓

      a= +   h= 2   k= 5

Vertex: (h, k) = (2, 5)

Axis of Symmetry: x = h  →  x = 2  

Max/Min: "a" is positive → minimum

Domain: x = All Real Numbers

Range:  y ≥ k → y ≥ 5

b) y = -(x - 1)² + 2

        ↓       ↓      ↓

      a= -   h= 1   k= 2

Vertex: (h, k) = (1, 2)

Axis of Symmetry: x = h  →  x = 1  

Max/Min: "a" is negative → maximum

Domain: x = All Real Numbers

Range:  y ≤ k → y ≤ 2

c) y = -(x + 4)² + 0

        ↓       ↓      ↓

      a= -  h= -4   k= 0

Vertex: (h, k) = (-4, 0)

Axis of Symmetry: x = h  →  x = -4  

Max/Min: "a" is negative → maximum

Domain: x = All Real Numbers

Range:  y ≤ k → y ≤ 0

d) y = 1/3(x + 2)² - 1

        ↓       ↓      ↓

      a= +  h= -2   k= -1

Vertex: (h, k) = (-2, -1)

Axis of Symmetry: x = h  →  x = -2  

Max/Min: "a" is positive → minimum

Domain: x = All Real Numbers

Range:  y ≥ k → y ≥ -2
