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

Last question please help me
Inessa [10]

Answer: OPTION D

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for calculate the surface area of a rectangular prism is:

SA_{rp}=2(wh+lw+lh)

Where w is the width, h is the height and l is the length.

You can see in the figure attached that:

l=3.4ft

w=3ft

h=4.1ft

Therefore, when you substitute these values into the formula you obtain that the surface area is:

SA_{rp}=2[(3ft*4.1ft)+(3.4ft*3ft)+(3.4ft*4.1ft)]=72.88ft^{2}

The mean of six numbers is 41. If one number is removed, the mean of the five numbers is 46. Find the unknown number.
klasskru [66]
Let n be the sum of all 6 numbers:

In the 1st case n/6 = 41 ==> n =246

in the 2nd case n'/5 = 46===> n' =230, the unknown number is n-n' =246-230

= 16

1 - (2n + 9) = 4(1-2)
Vikki [24]

Answer:

n=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

1−(2n+9)=4(1−2)

1+−1(2n+9)=4(1−2)

1+−1(2n)+(−1)(9)=4(1−2)

1+−2n+−9=4(1−2)

1+−2n+−9=−4

(−2n)+(1+−9)=−4

−2n+−8=−4

−2n−8=−4

−2n−8+8=−4+8

−2n=4

Divide both sides by -2

-2n/2=4/-2

n=-2
