Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be a random variable representing the number of guesses made for the sat questions.

Since the probability of getting the correct answer to a question is fixed for any number of trials and the outcome is either getting it correctly or not, then it is a binomial distribution. The probability of success, p = 0.2

Probability of failure, q = 1 - p = 1 - 0.2 = 0.8

the probability that the number x of correct answers is fewer than 4 is expressed as

P(x < 4)

From the binomial distribution calculator,

P(x < 4) = 0.97

Answer:

B. 64 cubic meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The first rectangle has the dimensions 7 x 2 x 4. 2 x 4 is 8, and 8 x 7 is 56. The square has the dimensions 2 x 2 x 2, which is 8. 56 + 8 is 64, so the answer is 64.

Six​ stand-up comics,​ A, B,​ C, D,​ E, and​ F, are to perform on a single evening at a comedy club. The order of performance is
kiruha [24]

Answer:

a) 1/6

b) 1/36

c) 1/720

d) 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Any of the six comics can perform in the fourth place, so there is one chance in six that Comic F is the one that performs fourth.

P(F=4th)=1/6

b) In this case, we have two conditions. Both are independent of each other, so the probability of both happening is the product of the probabilities of each happening individually:

P(D=4th \&B=2nd)=P(D=4th)\cdot P(B=2nd)=(1/6)\cdot(1/6)=1/36

c) This combination is one in all possible orders of perform. The amount of combinations of orders is n!=6!=720 possible combinations. So the probability of this specific order is:

P(F, D, B, A, C, E)=1/720

d) In this case, of the six possible comics performing in the last place, we calculate the probability of 2 of them being in that place. So the probability is:

P(C=6th\,or\, E=6th)=2/6=1/3

An exponential function is graphed for all real numbers. This includes which of the following sets of numbers?
anygoal [31]

<span>In addition to linear, quadratic, rational, and radical functions, there are exponential functions. Exponential functions have the form f(x) = <span>bx</span>, where b > 0 and b ≠ 1. Just as in any exponential expression, b is called the base and x is called the exponent.</span>

 

<span>An example of an exponential function is the growth of bacteria. Some bacteria double every hour. If you start with 1 bacterium and it doubles every hour, you will have 2x bacteria after x hours. This can be written as f(x) = 2x.</span>

 

<span>Before you start,   f(0) = 2<span>0 </span>= 1</span>

<span>After 1 hour           f(1) = 21 = 2</span>

<span>In 2 hours              f(2) = 22 = 4</span>

<span>In 3 hours              f(3) = 23 = 8</span>

and so on.

 

 

<span>With the definition f(x) = <span>bx</span> and the restrictions that b > 0 and that b ≠ 1, the domain of an exponential function is the set of all real numbers. The range is the set of all positive real numbers. The following graph shows f(x) = 2x.</span>
