Answer:

Smallest of the three = 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Consecutive means: x+x+1+x+2 = 123 set X as the smallest number.

x+x+x+1+2=123

3x+3=123

3x= 120

x=40

Y^2 isolate 19x^2+4y^2=25

qaws [65]

Answer:

Simplifying

x2 + -4y2 = 25

Solving

x2 + -4y2 = 25

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '4y2' to each side of the equation.

x2 + -4y2 + 4y2 = 25 + 4y2

Combine like terms: -4y2 + 4y2 = 0

x2 + 0 = 25 + 4y2

x2 = 25 + 4y2

Simplifying

x2 = 25 + 4y2

Reorder the terms:

-25 + x2 + -4y2 = 25 + 4y2 + -25 + -4y2

Reorder the terms:

-25 + x2 + -4y2 = 25 + -25 + 4y2 + -4y2

Combine like terms: 25 + -25 = 0

-25 + x2 + -4y2 = 0 + 4y2 + -4y2

-25 + x2 + -4y2 = 4y2 + -4y2

Combine like terms: 4y2 + -4y2 = 0

-25 + x2 + -4y2 = 0

The solution to this equation could not be determined.

EleoNora [17]

Answer:

a) $P(X \leq 2)= P(X=0)+P(X=1)+P(X=2)$

And we can use the probability mass function and we got:

$P(X=0)=(20C0)(0.2)^0 (1-0.2)^{20-0}=0.0115$

$P(X=1)=(20C1)(0.2)^1 (1-0.2)^{20-1}=0.0576$

$P(X=2)=(20C2)(0.2)^2 (1-0.2)^{20-2}=0.1369$

And adding we got:

$P(X \leq 2)=0.0115+0.0576+0.1369 = 0.2061$

b) $P(X=4)=(20C4)(0.2)^4 (1-0.2)^{20-4}=0.2182$

c) $P(X>3) = 1-P(X \leq 3) = 1- [P(X=0)+P(X=1)+P(X=2)+P(X=3)]$

$P(X=0)=(20C0)(0.2)^0 (1-0.2)^{20-0}=0.0115$

$P(X=1)=(20C1)(0.2)^1 (1-0.2)^{20-1}=0.0576$

$P(X=2)=(20C2)(0.2)^2 (1-0.2)^{20-2}=0.1369$

$P(X=3)=(20C3)(0.2)^3 (1-0.2)^{20-3}=0.2054$

And replacing we got:

$P(X>3) = 1-[0.0115+0.0576+0.1369+0.2054]= 1-0.4114= 0.5886$

d) $E(X) = 20*0.2= 4$

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".

Solution to the problem

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

$X \sim Binom(n=20, p=0.2)$

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:

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

Part a

We want this probability:

$P(X \leq 2)= P(X=0)+P(X=1)+P(X=2)$

And we can use the probability mass function and we got:

$P(X=0)=(20C0)(0.2)^0 (1-0.2)^{20-0}=0.0115$

$P(X=1)=(20C1)(0.2)^1 (1-0.2)^{20-1}=0.0576$

$P(X=2)=(20C2)(0.2)^2 (1-0.2)^{20-2}=0.1369$

And adding we got:

$P(X \leq 2)=0.0115+0.0576+0.1369 = 0.2061$

Part b

We want this probability:

$P(X=4)$

And using the probability mass function we got:

$P(X=4)=(20C4)(0.2)^4 (1-0.2)^{20-4}=0.2182$

Part c

We want this probability:

$P(X>3)$

We can use the complement rule and we got:

$P(X>3) = 1-P(X \leq 3) = 1- [P(X=0)+P(X=1)+P(X=2)+P(X=3)]$

$P(X=0)=(20C0)(0.2)^0 (1-0.2)^{20-0}=0.0115$

$P(X=1)=(20C1)(0.2)^1 (1-0.2)^{20-1}=0.0576$

$P(X=2)=(20C2)(0.2)^2 (1-0.2)^{20-2}=0.1369$

$P(X=3)=(20C3)(0.2)^3 (1-0.2)^{20-3}=0.2054$

And replacing we got:

$P(X>3) = 1-[0.0115+0.0576+0.1369+0.2054]= 1-0.4114= 0.5886$

Part d

The expected value is given by:

$E(X) = np$

And replacing we got:

$E(X) = 20*0.2= 4$
