Answer:
The probability is 1/6
Step-by-step explanation:
Firstly, we need to get the total number of coins
that would be the sum of all the coins present
We have this as;
8 + 10 + 4 + 2 = 24 coins
The number of nickels is 4
So the probability of selecting a nickel is the number of nickels divided by the total number of coins
We have this as;
4/24 = 1/6
y = -5x + 24
y = 4x - 21
Since both of these equations are equal to Y, theyre equal to each other.
So we can make an equation with y = -5x + 24 in one side and y = 4x - 21 on the other.
-5x + 24 = 4x - 21
Now in order to get the value of x we need to isolate it in one side of the equation. We can do this by subtracting 24 from both sides of the equation:
-5x + 24 - 24 = 4x - 21 - 24
-5x = 4x - 45
Now we subtract 4x from both sides so the 4x shift to the other side
-5x - 4x = 4x - 4x - 45
-9x = -45
Finally divide both sides by -9 so x is by itself
(-9)÷(-9x) = -(45)÷(-9)
x = 5
Since we did all of this to BOTH sides of the equation, both sides are still equal to each other and the equation still is true.
Now apply x = 5 to either of the initial equations to find the value of Y
y = -5x + 24 or y = 4x - 21
(I'll do both but u only need one)
y = -5(5) + 24
y = -25 + 24
y = -1
y = 4(5) - 21
y = 20 - 21
y = -1
Either way, X is 5 and Y is -1
Answer (5, -1)
The complete question is;
Five people buy individual insurance policies. According to the research, the probability of each of these people not filing a claim for at least 5 years is 2/3.
The probability that all 5 have not filed a claim after 5 years is A: 0.132 B: 0.868 C: 1 , and the probability that exactly 3 will have filed a claim after 5 years is A: 0.016 B: 0.033 C: 0.067
Answer:
1) P(all 5 file no claim after 5 years) = 0.132
2) P(exactly 3 file claim after 5 years) = 0.033
Step-by-step explanation:
1) we are told that the probability of each of these people not filing a claim for at least 5 years is 2/3.
Thus, for all 5 of them,
The probability will be;
P(all 5 file no claim after 5 years) = (2/3)^5 = 0.1317 ≈ 0.132
2) since probability of each not filing a claim for last 5 years = 2/3
Then probability of each filing a claim after 5 years = 1 - 2/3 = 1/3
So, P(exactly 3 file claim after 5 years) = (1/3)^3 ≈ 0.037.
The closest answer is 0.033.
Answer:
Option (1)
Step-by-step explanation:
We need a recursive formula.
The common ratio is 2.
- Eliminate options 2 and 4.
So, the answer is option 1.
