Answer:

a) P(X=5)=(9C5)(0.47)^5 (1-0.47)^{9-5}=0.228

b) P(X=0)=(9C0)(0.47)^0 (1-0.47)^{9-0}=0.0033

And replacing we got:

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

c) P(X=4)=(9C4)(0.47)^4 (1-0.47)^{9-4}=0.257

P(X=5)=(9C5)(0.47)^5 (1-0.47)^{9-5}=0.228

P(X=6)=(9C6)(0.47)^6 (1-0.47)^{9-6}=0.135

And adding we got:

P(4 \leq X \leq 6)= 0.257+0.228+0.135=0.620

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

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".

Solution to the problem

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

X \sim Binom(n=9, p=0.47)

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!}

Assuming the following questions:

a. exactly five

For this case we can use the probability mass function and we got:

P(X=5)=(9C5)(0.47)^5 (1-0.47)^{9-5}=0.228

b. at least one

For this case we want this probability:

P(X \geq 1)

And we can use the complement rule and we got:

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

P(X=0)=(9C0)(0.47)^0 (1-0.47)^{9-0}=0.0033

And replacing we got:

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

c. between four and six, inclusive.

For this case we want this probability:

P(4 \leq X \leq 6)

P(X=4)=(9C4)(0.47)^4 (1-0.47)^{9-4}=0.257

P(X=5)=(9C5)(0.47)^5 (1-0.47)^{9-5}=0.228

P(X=6)=(9C6)(0.47)^6 (1-0.47)^{9-6}=0.135

And adding we got:

P(4 \leq X \leq 6)= 0.257+0.228+0.135=0.620

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Your question has typographical errors. The equation is 2a + b = 15.7, not 2e+b-15.7

2a + b = 15.7

b = 15.7  - 2a

since a > b, a = 6.3 cm

b = 15.7 - 2·6.3 = 3.1 cm

How to solve this showing all work ! Also explain why they aren’t polynomials if you can :)
Lesechka [4]

Polynomials are linear combinations of positive integer powers. For example,

x^{100}+30x^2-\sqrt 2\,x+21

is a polynomial, but

-x^{-1}-4x^\pi+x^{3/2}

is not.

(In case you're unfamiliar with the term, a linear combination of two quantities is the sum of scaled versions of those quantities, e.g. a general linear combination of a and b is k_1a+k_2b, where k_1,k_2 are any numbers.)

8x^2-18\sqrt x+5x-3 is not a polynomial; the offending term is -18\sqrt x, or -18x^{1/2}.

7. Are the ordered pairs below an arithmetic sequence or geometric
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

8. Arithmetic Progression

9. f(9) = 300

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\{(1,55)\ (2, 45)\ (3, 35)\ (4, 25)\}

Solving (8): Arithmetic or Geometric

We start by checking if it is arithmetic by checking for common difference (d).

d = y_2 - y_1 = y_3 - y_2 = y_4 - y_3

This gives:

d = 45 - 55 = 35 - 45 = 25 - 35

d = -10 = -10 = -10

d=-10

<em>Because the common difference is equal, then it is an arithmetic progression</em>

<em></em>

Solving (8):

f(n) = f(1) + f(n-1)

To find f(9), we substitute 9 for n

f(9) = f(1) + f(9-1)

f(9) = f(1) + f(8)

We need to solve for f(8); substitute 8 for n

f(8) = f(1) + f(8 - 1)

f(8) = f(1) + f(7)

We need to solve for f(7); substitute 7 for n

f(7) = f(1) + f(7 - 1)

f(7) = f(1) + f(6)

We need to solve for f(6); substitute 6 for n

f(6) = f(1) + f(6 - 1)

f(6) = f(1) + f(5)

We need to solve for f(5); substitute 6 for n

f(5) = f(1) + f(5 - 1)

f(5) = f(1) + f(4)

From the function, f(4) = 25 and f(1) = 55.

So:

f(5)=55 + 25

f(5)=80

f(6) = f(1) + f(5)

f(6) = 55 + 80

f(6) = 135

f(7) = f(1) + f(6)

f(7) = 55 + 135

f(7) = 190

f(8) = f(1) + f(7)

f(8) = 55 + 190

f(8) = 245

f(9) = f(1) + f(8)

f(9) = 55 + 245

f(9) = 300
