Given Information:  

Probability of success = 30%

Sample size = n = 3

Variable of interest = x = 2  

Required Information:  

Probability of exactly 2 graduates = ?

Answer:

Probability of exactly 2 graduates = P(2; 3, 0.30) = 0.189

Step-by-step explanation:

The given problem can be modeled as a binomial experiment since a random selected student can either b graduate or not therefore, there are only 2 outcomes. Each trial is independent and the probability of success is not changing from trial to trial. The number of trials in also fixed.

We know that a binomial distribution is given by

P(x; n, p) = nCx pˣ (1 - p)ⁿ⁻ˣ

Where p is the probability of success and 1 - p is the probability of failure, n is number of independent trials and x is the variable of interest.

For the given problem, we know that x = 2, n = 3 and p = 0.30

P(2; 3, 0.30) = 3C2*0.30²*(1 - 0.30)³⁻²

P(2; 3, 0.30) = 3*0.30²*(0.70)¹

P(2; 3, 0.30) = 0.189

Does a = 8 b=15 c=17 make a right triangle and why​
ArbitrLikvidat [17]
Ok so pythagorean theorem is
a^2+b^2=c^2
plug it in
8^2+15^2=17^2
64+225=289
289=289

yass it works so that means they do make a right triangle

yes, they make a right triangle because they're a pythagorean triple and pythagorean theorem works when you plug the numbers in.

A man standing on a lighthouse at a height of 124 feet sights two boats directly in front of him. One is at an angle of depressi
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

125\ ft

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

step 1

In the right triangle ABC find the length side BC

we know that

tan(62\°)=\frac{124}{BC}

BC=\frac{124}{tan(62\°)}

step 2

In the right triangle ABD find the length side BD

we know that

tan(33\°)=\frac{124}{BD}

BD=\frac{124}{tan(33\°)}

step 3

we know that

The distance between the two boats is the length side CD

CD=BD-BC

substitute the values  

CD=\frac{124}{tan(33\°)}-\frac{124}{tan(62\°)}=125\ ft

Is 1.5 over 7.5 a rational number
Tomtit [17]
Yes, because you can simplify it to .2 which can be written as a fraction. Irrational numbers are those ones that keep going with an infinite string of numbers past the decimal.
