1 answer:
Romashka [77]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

819

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

  • a = -1
  • r = - 4
  • n = 6

Formula

Sum = a(1 - r^n) / ( 1 - r)

Sum = -1(1 - (-4)^6 / (1 - -4)

Sum = -1 (1 - 4096) / 5

Sum = -1 (- 4095 ) / 5

Sum = 819

Help me with question 1 please
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

DB = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

See the attached figure to the question.

Since O is the center of the given circle, so AB and CD are diameters of the circle.

Hence, AO = CO = OD = OB = radius of the circle = 6

In Δ OAC, we have AO = OC. Hence, ∠ A = ∠C = 60° {Given that ∠OAC = 60°}

So, ∠ AOC will automatically become 60°. {As the sum of all the angles of a triangle is 180°}

So, Δ AOC is equilateral triangle.

Now, ∠ AOC = ∠ BOD = 60°  {Since, they are vertically opposite angles}

Now, in Δ BOD, we have DO = OB. Hence, ∠ D = ∠ B = 60° {As the sum of all the angles of a triangle is 180°}

So, Δ BOD is also an equilateral triangle.

So, DB = BO = DO = 6. (Answer)

Assume that 63% of people are left-handed. If we select 5 people at random, find the probability of each outcome described below
mash [69]

Answer:

a. 0.9931

b. 0.3423

c. 0.3907

d. 0.2670

e. 3.15

f. 1.0796

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of the variable that said the number of left-handed people follow a Binomial distribution, so the probability is:

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

nCx is calculated as:

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

Where x is the number of left-handed people, n is the number of people selected at random and p is the probability that a person is left--handed. So P(x) is:

P(x)=5Cx*0.63^{x}*(1-0.63)^{5-x}

Then the probabilities P(0), P(1), P(2), P(3), P(4) and P(5) are:

P(0)=5C0*0.63^{0}*(1-0.63)^{5-0}=0.0069

P(1)=5C1*0.63^{1}*(1-0.63)^{5-1}=0.0590

P(2)=5C2*0.63^{2}*(1-0.63)^{5-2}=0.2011

P(3)=5C3*0.63^{3}*(1-0.63)^{5-3}=0.3423

P(x)=5C4*0.63^{4}*(1-0.63)^{5-4}=0.2914

P(x)=5C5*0.63^{5}*(1-0.63)^{5-5}=0.0993

Then, the probability P(x≥1) that there are some lefties among the 5 people is:

P(x≥1) = P(1) + P(2) + P(3) + P(4) + P(5)

P(x≥1) = 0.0590 + 0.2011 + 0.3423 + 0.2914 + 0.0993 = 0.9931

The probability P(3) that there are exactly 3 lefties in the group is:

P(3) = 0.3423

The probability P(x≥4) that there are at least 4 lefties in the group is:

P(x≥4) = P(4) + P(5) = 0.2914 + 0.0993 = 0.3907

The probability P(x≤2) that there are no more than 2 lefties in the group is:

P(x≤2) = P(0) + P(1) + P(2) = 0.0069 + 0.0590 + 0.2011 = 0.2670

On the other hand, the expected value E(x) and standard deviation S(x) of the variable that follows a binomial distribution is:

E(x)=np=5(0.63)=3.15\\S(x)=\sqrt{np(1-p)}=\sqrt{5(0.63)(1-0.63)}=1.0796
