Answer:

0.0071 = 0.71% probability that the San Jose Sharks win 9 games in the upcoming month.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each game, there are only two possible outcomes. Either the Sharks win, or they do not. The probability of the Sharks winning a game is independent of any other game. This 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.

The probability that the San Jose Sharks will win any given game is 0.3694.

This means that p = 0.3694

An upcoming monthly schedule contains 12 games.

This means that n = 12

What is the probability that the San Jose Sharks win 9 games in the upcoming month?

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

P(X = 9) = C_{12,9}.(0.3694)^{9}.(0.6306)^{3} = 0.0071

0.0071 = 0.71% probability that the San Jose Sharks win 9 games in the upcoming month.

Y=-x+5<br> Y=x+1<br> Solve the system
Elis [28]

Answer:

y =  - x + 5 \\ y = x + 1 \\   - x + 5 = x + 1 \\  - 2x =  - 4  \\ x = 2 \\ y = 2 + 1 = 3 \\ y = 3

Therefore the answer is:

x=2; y=3

Good luck!

Round 8.77 to the nearest whole number

It’s 9 because the whole number is eight, but seven is going to bring the number up ( five or more raise the score, four or less let it rest.) Good luck !
