Answer:

a) 0.0797 = 7.97% probability that the next home run will be on his fifth at-bat.

b) The expected number of at-bats until the next home run is 6.25.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each at bat, there are two possible outcomes. Either it is a home run, or it is not. The probability of an at bat resulting in a home run is independent of any other at-bat, 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.

The probability that Barry Bonds hits a home run on any given at-bat is 0.16

This means that p = 0.16

Part A: What is the probability that the next home run will be on his fifth at-bat?

0 on his next 4(P(X = 0) when n = 4)

Home run on his 5th at-bat, with 0.16 probability. So

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

P(X = 0) = C_{4,0}.(0.16)^{0}.(0.84)^{4} = 0.49787136


0.49787136 *0.16 = 0.0797.

0.0797 = 7.97% probability that the next home run will be on his fifth at-bat.

Part B: What is the expected number of at-bats until the next home run?

The expected number of trials for n successes is given by:

E = \frac{n}{p}

In this question, n = 1, p = 0.16. So

E = \frac{1}{0.16} = 6.25

The expected number of at-bats until the next home run is 6.25.

Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

CE= 17.59

Step-by-step explanation:

Arc Length=central angle/ 360 (circumference)

CE= 112/ 360 (2π9)

CE= 17.59

ANTONII [103]

Answer:

The distribution of the sample data will approach a normal distribution as the sample size increases.

Step-by-step explanation:

Central limit​ theorem states that the mean of all samples from the same population will be almost equal to the mean of the population, if the large sample size from a population, is given with a finite level of variance.

So, here Option C is not correct conclusion of central limit theorem -The distribution of the sample data will approach a normal distribution as the sample size increases.

We can say that the average of sample mean tends to be normal but not the sample data.

Sergio [31]

Answer:

the intrinsic growth rate of the population = 0.67 - 0.06 = 0.61 or 61%

Step-by-step explanation:

since populations increase exponentially, the same will happen here

in 5 years the population should be:

P₅ = P₀e°⁶¹ˣ⁵ = 140e°⁶¹ˣ⁵ = 2,956.15 ≈ 2,956

in 10 years the population will be:

P₁₀ = P₀e°⁶¹ˣ¹⁰ = 140e°⁶¹ˣ¹⁰ = 62,420.09 ≈ 62,420

when you are using exponential growth rates, we have to assume that r will always remain constant
