Maggie is practicing her penalty kicks for her upcoming soccer game. During the practice, she attempts 10 penalty kicks. If each

Answer:

P(X \geq 8)= P(X=8) +P(X=9) +P(X=10)

And we can find the individual probabilities like this:

P(X=8)=(10C8)(0.65)^0 (1-0.65)^{10-8}=0.176  

P(X=9)=(10C9)(0.65)^1 (1-0.65)^{10-9}=0.072  

P(X=10)=(10C10)(0.65)^2 (1-0.65)^{10-10}=0.013  

And adding we got:

P(X \geq 8)= P(X=8) +P(X=9) +P(X=10)= 0.176+0.072+0.013=0.262

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The binomial distribution is a "DISCRETE probability distribution that summarizes the probability that a value will take one of two independent values under a given set of parameters. The assumptions for the binomial distribution are that there is only one outcome for each trial, each trial has the same probability of success, and each trial is mutually exclusive, or independent of each other".

Let X the random variable of interest, on this case we now that:

X \sim Binom(n=10, p=0.65)

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:

P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:

nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}

Solution to the problem

For this case we want to find this probability:

P(X \geq 8)= P(X=8) +P(X=9) +P(X=10)

And we can find the individual probabilities like this:

P(X=8)=(10C8)(0.65)^0 (1-0.65)^{10-8}=0.176  

P(X=9)=(10C9)(0.65)^1 (1-0.65)^{10-9}=0.072  

P(X=10)=(10C10)(0.65)^2 (1-0.65)^{10-10}=0.013  

And adding we got:

P(X \geq 8)= P(X=8) +P(X=9) +P(X=10)= 0.176+0.072+0.013=0.262

Sara bought a used car for $10,000. She learned from online that the value of a car depreciated 15% per year. What is the formul
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Value of Sam's car after t years =

==10000*(1-\frac{15}{100})^{t}\\\\=10000*(\frac{85}{100})^{t}\\\\=10000*(0.85)^{t}

Value of Sam's car in 5 years=

=10000*(0.85)^{5}\\\\=10000*0.4437\\\\

= $ 4437

X²-12x+a=(x+b)² find a and b​
Valentin [98]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x² - 12x + a = (x + b)²

x² - 12x + a = x² + 2xb + b²

-12 = 2b and a = b²

b = -6

a = b² = 36

The inequality 7-2/3x &lt; x-8
romanna [79]
Am going to presume you want it solved.
Please pardon my presumption

7 - (2/3)x < x - 8,    Take all the x to one side of the inequality
-(2/3)x-x <  - 8 -7
-(5/3)x <  - 15    Divide both sides by -5/3  and inequality sign changes

x  >  (-15)/(-5/3)

x >    15  * 3/5        .     5 into 15 is 3.

x  >  3*3

x >    9
