Answer: the probability that exactly two of the next five people who apply to that university get accepted is 0.23

Step-by-step explanation:

We would number of people that applies for admission at the university and gets accepted. The formula is expressed as

P(x = r) = nCr × p^r × q^(n - r)

Where

x represent the number of successes.

p represents the probability of success.

q = (1 - p) represents the probability of failure.

n represents the number of trials or sample.

From the information given,

p = 0.6

q = 1 - p = 1 - 0.6

q = 0.4

n = 5

the probability that exactly two of the next five people who apply to that university get accepted is

P(x = 2) = 5C2 × 0.6^2 × 0.4^(5 - 2)

P(x = 2) = 10 × 0.36 × 0.064

P(x = 2) = 0.23

Write the equation for the following table:<br> X. Y. <br> 0 3<br> 1 7<br> 2 11<br> 3 15
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

y = 4x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the table of values given can be written as y = 4x + 3 .

When x = 0,

y = 4(0) + 3

y = 0 + 3 = 3 this corresponds with what we have in the table above.

Let's try another.

When x = 2,

y = 4(2) + 3

y = 8 + 3

y = 11

This also corresponds with what we have in the table.

Therefore, the equation of the table given is y = 4x + 3 .
