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

I'm doing theoretical probobility. Can you help me with this problem. It says to write it is a fraction, decimal, and a percent.
Alchen [17]
So probability is (disred outcomes) divided by (total possible outomces

so
hearts and clubs are 2 out of 4 total suits and since there are the same number of cards per suit, it simplifies
2=desrired oucomes
4=total possible
2/4=1/2=0.5=50%

answer is 1/2 or 0.5 or 50%

2. Meryl spends a total of $68.82 for 2 pairs of 68.8
kupik [55]

Answer:

The cost of each pair of sneakers is $33.25.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Meryl spends a total $68.82 for 2 pairs of sneakers with the same cost.

If the sales tax is $5.32 and she also uses a coupon for $3.00 off her purchase.

First subtract the sales tax from the spend amount.

\$68.82- \$5.32=\$63.5

She use a coupon for $3.00 OFF.

\$63.5+\$3=\$66.5

$66.5 was the cost of 2 pairs of sneakers before using the coupon.

Now divide $66.5 by 2 so that we can find the cost of one pair of sneakers.

\frac{\$66.5}{2} =\$33.25

Hence, the cost of each pair of sneakers is $33.25.
