The random variable X ≈ B(n, p)

Where n is the number of samples. If the value of n is huge, calculating binomial coefficient can be difficult and calculator won't be able to perform the nCr calculation for a big value of n (try ⁶⁰⁰C₁₂₃ on the calculator).

If p, which is the probability, is close to 0.5, the binomial distribution will be fairly symmetric.

We have n = 114 and p = 22% = 0.22

We first need to approximate X by Y ≈ N(np, np(p-1))

np = 114×0.22 = 25.08
np(1-p) = 114×0.22×0.78 = 19.6

Therefore, Y ≈ N(25.08, 19.6)
and since the standard deviation, б = √np(1-p) = √19.6
We then have, Y≈N(25.08, (√19.6)²)

We aim to find the probability of X is exactly 27, mathematically written as P(X=27)

Applying the continuity correction we have P(26.5<Y<27.5) ⇒ This correction, in other words, is applying a range to X that will definitely include the value of X=27

The next step is standardising
We have the mean, μ=25.08 and σ=√19.6

P(26.5<Y<27.5) = P(\frac{26.5-25.08}{ \sqrt{19.6} }<Z<\frac{27.5-25.08}{ \sqrt{19.6} })
P(26.5<Y<27.5) = P(0.32<Z<0.55)
P(26.5<Y<27.5) = P(Z<0.55) - [1 - P(Z<0.32)] ⇒ Read the values for these z-score on the z-table
P(26.5<Y<27.5) = 0.7088 - [1-0.6255]
P(26.5<Y<27.5) = 0.3343

Drag each expression to show whether it is equivalent to 3 time times 9 or to 2x3x9​
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

The answers to your questions are given below

Step-by-step explanation:

A. 3 × 9 = 27

B. 2 × 3 × 9 = 54

Next, we shall determine which option will give the same result obtained above.

9 × 3 = 27

9 × 3 × 2 = 54

3 × (4 + 5) = 3 × 9 = 27

(2 × 3) × 9 = 6 × 9 = 54

Therefore,

3 × 9 = 27

9 × 3 = 27

3 × (4 + 5) = 27

2 × 3 × 9 = 54

9 × 3 × 2 = 54

(2 × 3) × 9 = 54

SUMMARY

3 × 9 >>>>>>>>> 2 × 3 × 9

9 × 3 >>>>>>>>> 9 × 3 × 2

3 × (4 + 5) >>>>> (2 × 3) × 9

PLEASE HELP LOOK AT THE PIC BELOW
asambeis [7]

Answer:

The simplest answer is

\frac{16}{21}

The reason how I got that is because to divide fractions, you have to turn them improper. Once you've done that, you then can multiply it by using the reciprocal of the second fraction. Once they are rearranged, multiply all the numerators by each other. do the same with the denominators and form a new fraction.

sweet [91]

Answer:

90 bikes.

Step-by-step explanation:

The bike store earns:

(120-80) = 40 dollars per bike sold.

Hence, to break even, the store must sell:

3600/40 = 90 bikes per month.

Hope this helped!
