Answer:

P(X=0)=(10C10)(0.15)^{0} (1-0.15)^{10-0}=0.1969

P(X \geq 1)= 1-P(X

P(X=0)=(nCn)(p)^{0} (1-p)^{n-0}=(1-p)^n

P(X \geq 1)= 1-P(X

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A Bernoulli trial is "a random experiment with exactly two possible outcomes, "success" and "failure", in which the probability of success is the same every time the experiment is conducted". And this experiment is a particular case of the binomial experiment.

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".

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!}  

The complement rule is a theorem that provides a connection between the probability of an event and the probability of the complement of the event. Lat A the event of interest and A' the complement. The rule is defined by: P(A)+P(A') =1

Solution to the problem

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

X \sim Binom(n=10, p=0.15)

what is the probability that no errors are made?

For this case means that all the questions were correct so we want this probability:

P(X=0)=(10C10)(0.15)^{0} (1-0.15)^{10-0}=0.1969

what is the probability that at least one error made?

For this case we want this probability:

P(X \geq 1)

And we can use the complement rule:

P(X \geq 1)= 1-P(X

If there are n questions and the probability of a marking error is p rather than 0.15, give expressions for the probabilities of no errors  and at least one error

P(X=0)=(nCn)(p)^{0} (1-p)^{n-0}=(1-p)^n

P(X \geq 1)= 1-P(X

Triangle TUV was dilated to create triangle T'U'V' using point A as the center of dilation. What is the scale factor of the dila
Tomtit [17]
A dilation is a transformation, with center O and a scale factor of k that is not zero, that maps O to itself and any other point P to P'. The center O is a fixed point, P' is the image of P, points O, P and P' are on the same line.

Thus, a dilation with centre O and a scale factor of k maps the original figure to the image in such a way that the<span> distances from O to the vertices of the image are k times the distances from O to the original figure. Also the size of the image are k times the size of the original figure.

In the dilation of triangle TUV</span>, It is obvious that the image <span>T'U'V' is smaller than the original triangle TUV and hence the scale factor is less than 1.

</span>The ratio of the distances from A to the vertices of the image T'U'V'  to the distances from A to the original triangle TUV is the scale factor.

The scale factor = 3.2 / 4.8 = 2/3
