<u>ANSWER:  </u>

The probability for 13 or more of the 15 trees they just planted will survive is 0.00110702414

<u>SOLUTION: </u>

Given,

The total number of plants is, n=15

The chance of survival of trees is, p=45%.  

Probability of getting success p(success) = \frac{n o \text { of favourable outcomes }}{\text {total possible outcomes}}

P(success) = \frac{45}{100}

P(success) = 0.45

Binomial distribution formula is given as

\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{X}=\mathrm{x})=\mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{C} \mathrm{x}}(\mathrm{p})^{\mathrm{x}} \cdot(1-\mathrm{p})^{\mathrm{n}-\mathrm{x}}

In our case, x is greater than or equal to 13, i.e. x \geq 13

The probability for 13 or more of the 15 trees they just planted will survive is given by

\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{X} \geq 13)=\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{X}=13)+\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{X}=14)+\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{X}=15)

\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{X} \geq 13)=\left(15 \mathrm{C}_{13} \times(0.45)^{13} \times(1-0.45)^{15-13}\right. + \left(^{15} \mathrm{C}_{14} \times(0.45)^{14} \times(1-0.45)^{15-14}\right. + \left(15 \mathrm{C}_{15} \times(0.45)^{15} \times(1-0.45)^{15-15}\right.

on simplification we get

=(15 \times 7) \times(0.45)^{13} \times(0.55)^{2}+15 \times(0.45)^{14} \times(0.55)^{1}+1 \times(0.45)^{15} \times 1

\begin{array}{c}{=(105 \times 0.00003102863 \times 0.3025)+(15 \times 0.00001396288 \times 0.55)+} \\ {0.00000628329}\end{array}

=0.00098554703 + 0.0001151938 + 0.00000628329

= 0.00110702414

Hence, the probability for 13 or more of the 15 trees they just planted will survive is 0.00110702414

Question 3
hoa [83]

answer is (-7,2)

y = -x -5

y= x+9

Both equations have y on the left hand side

So we equate both equations

We replace -x-5 for  y in the second equation

-x -5 = x+9

Subtract x on both sides

-2x -5 = 9

Now add 5 on both sides

-2x = 14

Divide by -2 from both sides

x = -7

Now plug in -7 for x in the first equation

y = -x -5

y = -(-7)  -5= 7-5 = 2

So answer is (-7,2)

-2 3/4 ÷ -1/7= <br>help​
Hitman42 [59]

The answer is 19\frac{1}{4}

First you must set up the equation

-2\frac{3}{4}÷-\frac{1}{7}

First, you must make the mixed number a improper fraction

-\frac{11}{4}÷-\frac{1}{7}

Then you must divide

\frac{77}{4}

Finally, simplify

19\frac{1}{4}
