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

If the exponential parent function,
laila [671]

Answer: f(x) =3^{-x}-4

Step-by-step explanation:

Some transformations for a function f(x) are shown below:

If f(x)+k, the function is translated up "k" units.

If f(x)-k, the function is translated down "k" units.

If -f(x), the function is reflected across the x-axis.

If f(-x), the function is reflected across the y-axis.

Therefore, knowing those transformations and given the exponential parent function:

f(x) = 3^x

If it is reflected across the y-axis and the it is  translated down 4 units, we can determine that the resulting function is:

f(x) =3^{-x}-4
