Answer:

X \sim Binom(n=10, p=0.3)

And for this case we want to find this probability:

P(X =2)

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

P(X=2)=(10C2)(0.3)^2 (1-0.3)^{10-2}=0.233

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A Bernoulli trial is "a random experiment with exactly two possible outcomes, "success" and "failure", in which the probability of success is the same every time the experiment is conducted". And this experiment is a particular case of the binomial experiment.

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".

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

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

X \sim Binom(n=10, p=0.3)

And for this case we want to find this probability:

P(X =2)

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

P(X=2)=(10C2)(0.3)^2 (1-0.3)^{10-2}=0.233

meriva

Answer:

The probability is 0.8

Step-by-step explanation:

The key to answering this question is considering the fact that the two married employees be treated as a single unit.

Now what this means is that we would be having 8 desks to assign.

Mathematically, the number of ways to assign 8 desks to 8 employees is equal to 8!

Now, the number of ways the couple can interchange their desks is just 2 ways

Thus, the number of ways to assign desks such that the couple has adjacent desks is 2(8!)

The number of ways to assign desks among all six employees randomly is 9!

Thus, the probability that the couple will have adjacent desks would be ;

2(8!)/9! = 2/9

This means that the probability that the couple have non adjacent desks is 1-2/9 = 7/9 = 0.77778

Which is 0.8 to the nearest tenth of a percent

Find angles X and Y for the question
Sav [38]

Answer:

x = 129

y = 82

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 51 = 180

x = 180 - 51

x = 129

y + 51 + 47 = 180

y = 98 - 180

y = 82
