2×-2=-4
-4 × -2 = 8
8 × -2 =-16
-16×-2 =32
32 ×-2 = -64.
therefore the answer is -2.

Suppose the number of children in a household has a binomial distribution with parameters n=12n=12 and p=50p=50%. Find the proba
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

a) 20.95% probability of a household having 2 or 5 children.

b) 7.29% probability of a household having 3 or fewer children.

c) 19.37% probability of a household having 8 or more children.

d) 19.37% probability of a household having fewer than 5 children.

e) 92.71% probability of a household having more than 3 children.

Step-by-step explanation:

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.

In this problem, we have that:

n = 12, p = 0.5

(a) 2 or 5 children

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

P(X = 2) = C_{12,2}.(0.5)^{2}.(0.5)^{10} = 0.0161

P(X = 5) = C_{12,5}.(0.5)^{5}.(0.5)^{7} = 0.1934

p = P(X = 2) + P(X = 5) = 0.0161 + 0.1934 = 0.2095

20.95% probability of a household having 2 or 5 children.

(b) 3 or fewer children

P(X \leq 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3)

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

P(X = 0) = C_{12,0}.(0.5)^{0}.(0.5)^{12} = 0.0002

P(X = 1) = C_{12,1}.(0.5)^{1}.(0.5)^{11} = 0.0029

P(X = 2) = C_{12,2}.(0.5)^{2}.(0.5)^{10} = 0.0161

P(X = 3) = C_{12,3}.(0.5)^{3}.(0.5)^{9} = 0.0537

P(X \leq 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) = 0.0002 + 0.0029 + 0.0161 + 0.0537 = 0.0729

7.29% probability of a household having 3 or fewer children.

(c) 8 or more children

P(X \geq 8) = P(X = 8) + P(X = 9) + P(X = 10) + P(X = 11) + P(X = 12)

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

P(X = 8) = C_{12,8}.(0.5)^{8}.(0.5)^{4} = 0.1208

P(X = 9) = C_{12,9}.(0.5)^{9}.(0.5)^{3} = 0.0537

P(X = 10) = C_{12,10}.(0.5)^{10}.(0.5)^{2} = 0.0161

P(X = 11) = C_{12,11}.(0.5)^{11}.(0.5)^{1} = 0.0029

P(X = 12) = C_{12,12}.(0.5)^{12}.(0.5)^{0} = 0.0002

P(X \geq 8) = P(X = 8) + P(X = 9) + P(X = 10) + P(X = 11) + P(X = 12) = 0.1208 + 0.0537 + 0.0161 + 0.0029 + 0.0002 = 0.1937

19.37% probability of a household having 8 or more children.

(d) fewer than 5 children

P(X < 5) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4)

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

P(X = 0) = C_{12,0}.(0.5)^{0}.(0.5)^{12} = 0.0002

P(X = 1) = C_{12,1}.(0.5)^{1}.(0.5)^{11} = 0.0029

P(X = 2) = C_{12,2}.(0.5)^{2}.(0.5)^{10} = 0.0161

P(X = 3) = C_{12,3}.(0.5)^{3}.(0.5)^{9} = 0.0537

P(X = 4) = C_{12,4}.(0.5)^{4}.(0.5)^{8} = 0.1208

P(X < 5) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) = 0.0002 + 0.0029 + 0.0161 + 0.0537 + 0.1208 = 0.1937

19.37% probability of a household having fewer than 5 children.

(e) more than 3 children

Either a household has 3 or fewer children, or it has more than 3. The sum of these probabilities is 100%.

From b)

7.29% probability of a household having 3 or fewer children.

p + 7.29 = 100

p = 92.71

92.71% probability of a household having more than 3 children.

..Urgent.. 600 students attend Ridgewood Junior High School. 10% of students bring their lunch to school everyday. How many stud
zysi [14]

Answer:

Number of student bring their lunch = 60

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total number of student = 600

Student bring their lunch = 10%

Find:

Number of student bring their lunch

Computation:

Number of student bring their lunch = Total number of student x Student bring their lunch

Number of student bring their lunch = 600 x 10%

Number of student bring their lunch = 60

90 POINTS| PLEASE ANSWER ASAP|
shtirl [24]

For A:

You add the probabilities to get the answer to A: = .75, or 3/4

Note that the probability of ALL THREE of them hitting would be 1/3 x 1/4 x 1/5.

For B:

2/3 and 3/4 is the probability of the other two people MISSING (the remainder of 1/3, 1/4)

1.0 = 100% chance to hit the target, so 1.0 x 2/3 x 3/4 = 1/2

Mark's chance of hitting is 1/5, so do 1/2 x 1/5, = 1/10
