Answer: 0.0187

Step-by-step explanation:

The binomial distribution formula for probability :-

P(x)=^nC_xp^x(1-p)^{n-x}, where P(x) is the probability of getting success in x trials , n is the total number of trials and p is the probability of getting success in each trial.

Given : The probability that the physics majors belong to ethnic minorities =0.33

Number of students selected : n= 8

Now, the probability that more than 5 belong to an ethnic minority :-

P(x>5)=P(6)+P(7)+P(8)\\\\=^8C_6(0.33)^6(0.67)^{2}+^8C_7(0.33)^7(0.67)^{1}+^8C_8(0.33)^8(0.67)^{0}\\\\=(\dfrac{8!}{6!2!})(0.33)^6(0.67)^{2}+(8)(0.33)^7(0.67)^{1}+(0.33)^8(0.67)^{0}\\\\=0.0186577086013\approx0.0187

Hence, the probability that more than 5 belong to an ethnic minority = 0.0187

The resulting value of k is 12/7.

<h3>What is a fraction?</h3>

Fractions are the numerical values that are a part of the whole. A whole can be an object or a group of objects.

The steps below are presented in order to arrive at the value of k of the given equation.

First, multiply both sides of the equation by the variable k since the left-hand side of the equation has it in the denominator.

The solution of the equation will be;

\rm      \dfrac{k+12}{k}(k) = 8(k)\\\\\dfrac{k+12}{k}=8\\\\k+12=8k\\\\8k-k=12\\\\ 7k=12\\\\k =\dfrac{12}{7}

Hence, the resulting value of k is 12/7.

What's the domain and range function for y=(x-12)^2+11
aev [14]

Answer:y = x 2 − 12 x The domain of the expression is all real numbers except where the expression is undefined. In this case, there is no real number that makes the expression undefined. Interval Notation: ( − ∞ , ∞ ) Set-Builder Notation: { x | x ∈ R } The range is the set of all valid y values. Use the graph to find the range. Interval Notation: [ − 36 , ∞ ) Set-Builder Notation: { y | y ≥ − 36 } Determine the domain and range. Domain: ( − ∞ , ∞ ) , { x | x ∈ R } Range: [ − 36 , ∞ ) , { y | y ≥ − 36 }
