Answer: b. 14 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula to calculate average :

\text{Average}=\dfrac{\text{Sum of all observations}}{\text{Number of observations}}

Let x denotes the number of pounds the last person have to gain so that the group can attain its goal.

Required average = 10  pounds

Observations = 9, 13, 11, 6, 7 and x (pounds)

Number of observations= 6

Sum of all observations = 9+13+ 11+ 6+7+x=46+x

According to the question , we have

10=\dfrac{46+x}{6}\\\\ 46+x=10\times6\\\\ 46+x=60\\\\ x=60-46=14

i..e the last person has to gain 14 pounds so that the group can attain its goal.

Hence, the correct answer is b. 14 pounds .

Answer:

  5x -7y = 21

Step-by-step explanation:

A sketch can convince you that BC is a transversal perpendicular to parallel lines AB and CD. The question asks for an equation for CD, so we just need to write the equation of a line through D that is parallel to AB.

One way to do this is to equate the slopes of the parallel lines:

  ∆y/∆x for AB = ∆y/∆x for CD

  (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1) = (y -2)/(x -7) . . . . . . where (x1, y1) = A; (x2, y2) = B; (7, 2) = D

  (4 -(-1))/(1 -(-6)) = (y -2)/(x -7)

  5(x -7) = 7(y -2) . . . . . . . . . . . . . cross multiply

  5x -7y = 21 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . add 35 -7y, simplify

_____

Note that the graph shows the line CD is named "b", and its equation is shown at upper left. Multiplying that equation by -1 gives the one shown here.

Let X be a discrete random variable with geometric distribution.
 Let x be the number of tests and p the probability of success in each trial, then the probability distribution is:
 P (X = x) = p * (1-p) ^ (x-1). With x = (1, 2, 3 ... n).
 This function measures the probability P of obtaining the first success at the x attempt.
 We need to know the probability of obtaining the first success at the third trial.
  Where a success is defined as a customer buying online.
 The probability of success in each trial is p = 0.3.
 So:
 P (X = 3) = 0.3 * (1-0.3) ^ (3-1)
 P (X = 3) = 0.147
 The probability of obtaining the first success at the third trial is 14.7%
