What is the formula for the expected number of successes in a binomial experiment with n trials and probability of success p? C

charle [14.2K]

Answer:

$(D)E[ X ] =np.$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a binomial experiment with n trials and probability of success p,

$f(x)=\left(\begin{array}{c}n\\k\end{array}\right)p^x(1-p)^{n-x}, 0\leq x\leq n$

$E(X)=\sum_{x=0}^{n}xf(x)= \sum_{x=0}^{n}x\left(\begin{array}{c}n\\k\end{array}\right)p^x(1-p)^{n-x}$

Since each term of the summation is multiplied by x, the value of the term corresponding to x = 0 will be 0. Therefore the expected value becomes:

$E(X)=\sum_{x=1}^{n}x\left(\begin{array}{c}n\\x\end{array}\right)p^x(1-p)^{n-x}$

Now,

$x\left(\begin{array}{c}n\\x\end{array}\right)= \frac{xn!}{x!(n-x)!}=\frac{n!}{(x-)!(n-x)!}=\frac{n(n-1)!}{(x-1)!((n-1)-(x-1))!}=n\left(\begin{array}{c}n-1\\x-1\end{array}\right)$

Substituting,

$E(X)=\sum_{x=1}^{n}n\left(\begin{array}{c}n-1\\x-1\end{array}\right)p^x(1-p)^{n-x}$

Factoring out the n and one p from the above expression:

$E(X)=np\sum_{x=1}^{n}n\left(\begin{array}{c}n-1\\x-1\end{array}\right)p^{x-1}(1-p)^{(n-1)-(x-1)}$

Representing k=x-1 in the above gives us:

$E(X)=np\sum_{k=0}^{n}n\left(\begin{array}{c}n-1\\k\end{array}\right)p^{k}(1-p)^{(n-1)-k}$

This can then be written by the Binomial Formula as:

$E[ X ] = (np) (p +(1 - p))^{n -1 }= np.$

The perimeter of triangle RXA is 24. If RX = 4 and RA = 11, find XP and PA

Tju [1.3M]

8 is the answer because when you add 11+4 you get 16 and then you would subtract that from 24 which would give you 8. Idk where you got "PA" ?

PLEASE HELP I HAVE 5 MIN TO TURN THIS IN!!!!

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

3- False,
4- True

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>Garden A</h3>

<u>Rectangle with sides</u>

Width ⇒ 2x - 3 feet
Length ⇒ 5(2x - 3) = 10x - 15

<u>Perimeter is</u>

2(w + l) = 2( 2x - 3 + 10x - 15) = 24x - 36

<h3>Garden B</h3>

<u>Triangle with sides</u>

5x + 5, 4x + 2, 8x - 8

<u>Perimeter is</u>

5x + 5 + 4x + 2 + 8x - 8 = 17x - 1

<h3>Statement 3</h3>

<u>The difference in perimeters is the difference is fencing:</u>

24x - 36 - (17x - 1) = 24x - 17x - 36 + 1 = 7x - 35

Since it is different from 7x - 37 the statement is FALSE

<h3>Statement 4</h3>

Garden A is surrounded by a path of 2.5 ft wide

It will have the perimeter added by 2.5*2*4 = 20 ft as each side is extended by 2*2.5 ft = 5ft

<u>So the perimeter is going to be:</u>

24x - 36 + 20 =
24x - 16

This statement is TRUE

Can you help me order them from lease to greatest

Ludmilka [50]

Okay. So 3/5 in decimal form is 0.6. 7/10 in decimal form is 0.7. When you put them in order from least to greatest, the order would be 0.15, 3/5, 7/10, 0.85. Converting fractions to decimals and looking at the different places and what not could help make solving questions like these much easier.

The lengths of the sides of a triangle are represented by 3 consecutive even integers. if the perimeter of the triangle is 72 fe

iris [78.8K]

P = a + b + c
P = 72
a = x
b = x + 2
c = x + 4

72 = x + x + 2 + x + 4
72 = 3x + 6
72 - 6 = 3x
66 = 3x
66/3 = x
22 = x

x + 2 = 22 + 2 = 24
x + 4 = 22 + 4 = 26

the sides of ur triangle are : 22,24,26 <==
