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

1)Which choices shows the statement below in if-then form? Exercise makes you healthier.
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

D for both

Step-by-step explanation:

Exercise is the condition and healthier is the outcome. So if you exercise then you will be healthier.

All cardinals are red. But not all red birds are cardinals. So d is the only one that is always true

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

To Find the best price divided each

Kroger → 1.52/4=0.38

Publix → 175/5=35

Ingles → 1.02/3=0.34

Walmart → 2.46/6=0.41

Base on the data we can tell that Ingles have the best price.
