Answer:

119 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

cos 42° = $\frac{b}{160}$

b = 160 × cos 42° ≈ 119 in.

An individual repeatedly attempts to pass a driving test. Suppose that the probability of passing the test with each attempt is

vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

a) Our random variable X="number of tests taken until the individual passes" follows a geomteric distribution with probability of success p=0.25

For this case the probability mass function would be given by:

$P(X= k) = (1-p)^{k-1} p , k = 1,2,3,...$

b) $P(X \leq 3) = P(X=1) +P(X=2) +P(X=3)$

$P(X= 1) = (1-0.25)^{1-1} *0.25 = 0.25$

$P(X= 2) = (1-0.25)^{2-1} *0.25 = 0.1875$

$P(X= 3) = (1-0.25)^{3-1} *0.25 = 0.1406$

And adding the values we got:

$P(X \leq 3) =0.25+0.1875+0.1406=0.578$

c) $P(X \geq 5) = 1-P(X$

And we can find the individual probabilities:

$P(X= 1) = (1-0.25)^{1-1} *0.25 = 0.25$

$P(X= 2) = (1-0.25)^{2-1} *0.25 = 0.1875$

$P(X= 3) = (1-0.25)^{3-1} *0.25 = 0.1406$

$P(X= 4) = (1-0.25)^{4-1} *0.25 = 0.1055$

$P(X \geq 5) = 1-[0.25+0.1875+0.1406+0.1055]= 0.316$

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The geometric distribution represents "the number of failures before you get a success in a series of Bernoulli trials. This discrete probability distribution is represented by the probability density function:"

$P(X=x)=(1-p)^{x-1} p$

Let X the random variable that measures the number of trials until the first success, we know that X follows this distribution:

$X\sim Geo (1-p)$

Part a

Our random variable X="number of tests taken until the individual passes" follows a geomteric distribution with probability of success p=0.25

For this case the probability mass function would be given by:

$P(X= k) = (1-p)^{k-1} p , k = 1,2,3,...$

Part b

We want this probability:

$P(X \leq 3) = P(X=1) +P(X=2) +P(X=3)$

We find the individual probabilities like this:

$P(X= 1) = (1-0.25)^{1-1} *0.25 = 0.25$

$P(X= 2) = (1-0.25)^{2-1} *0.25 = 0.1875$

$P(X= 3) = (1-0.25)^{3-1} *0.25 = 0.1406$

And adding the values we got:

$P(X \leq 3) =0.25+0.1875+0.1406=0.578$

Part c

For this case we want this probability:

$P(X \geq 5)$

And we can use the complement rule like this:

$P(X \geq 5) = 1-P(X$

And we can find the individual probabilities:

$P(X= 1) = (1-0.25)^{1-1} *0.25 = 0.25$

$P(X= 2) = (1-0.25)^{2-1} *0.25 = 0.1875$

$P(X= 3) = (1-0.25)^{3-1} *0.25 = 0.1406$

$P(X= 4) = (1-0.25)^{4-1} *0.25 = 0.1055$

$P(X \geq 5) = 1-[0.25+0.1875+0.1406+0.1055]= 0.316$

Many states refused to ratify the constitution unless?

Other Federalists claimed that the new government could not violate the people's rights because it only had limited powers. However, most state legislatures refused to ratify the Constitution without the Bill of Rights being added to the document.
