Answer:

0.2301 = 23.01% probability that exactly 2 don't grow.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each seed planted, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it grows into a healthy plant, or it does not. The probability of a seed growing into a healthy plant is independent of any other seed, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

90% chance of growing into a healthy plant.

This means that p = 0.9

12 seeds are planted

This means that n = 12

What is the probability that exactly 2 don't grow?

So 12 - 2 = 10 grow, which is P(X = 10). Then

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 10) = C_{12,10}.(0.9)^{10}.(0.1)^{2} = 0.2301

0.2301 = 23.01% probability that exactly 2 don't grow.

Which graph represents the solution set of -2y > 7x + 4?
Firdavs [7]

The equation of a line in point-slope form is expressed as:

y = mx + b

  • m is the slope of the line
  • b is the y-intercept

Given the inequality -2y > 7x + 4, this can also be expressed as:

-2y > 7x + 4

y < -7/2x -4/2

y< -7/2x - 2

This shows that the line will be a dashed line and cuts the y-axis at y= -2

Andre45 [30]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The first answer a, is not a linear function because of the first term, 2√(x), this is basically 2(x^(1/2)) which means that it is not linear

B is linear because there are no exponents in any of the variables.

C is not linear because it forms a circle when graphed

D is linear because there are no exponents in any of the variables.

E is linear because there are no exponents in angy of the variables.

F is linear because there are no exponents in any of the variables.

G is not linear because it is a quadratic equation.

Here is a list of spelling-test results.Calculate the mean.14,19,19,20,16,18,15,17,12
makvit [3.9K]

To find the mean (average), we first need to add up all the test scores (14 + 19 + 19 + 20 + 16 + 18 + 15 + 17 + 12 = 150). Then, we need to divide that number (150) by the number of numbers in the data set (9 in this case). So the mean of these test scores is about 16.6666666667.
