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

A triangle has two sides of length 1 and 8. What is the smallest possible whole-number length for the third side?
valkas [14]

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

For the smallest possible length, this has to be one of the shorter sides. Let the length of this side be x.

So, by the triangle inequality theorem, 1+x>8, which means x>7.

So, the smallest possible whole number length is 8.

Are all negative numbers really 0
algol13

Answer:

Thus every real number other than zero is either positive or negative, while zero itself is not considered to have a sign. Positive numbers are sometimes written with a plus sign in front, e.g. +3 denotes a positive three.
