A researcher is trying to show evidence for extra-sensory perception (ESP). She performs a test in which the subject is asked 10

yes or no question whose answer depends on information which the subject has not observed. Suppose that for each test, in the absence of ESP, the subject gets each question correct with 50% probability a) In the absence of ESP, what is the probability that a given test subject will answer at least 8 out of 10 questions correctly

Answer:

The answer is "0.0547".

Step-by-step explanation:

$P(Correct) = 0.50\\\\n = 10\\\\x = 8$

Using the binomial distribution:

$\to P(x,n) = n_{C}_x \times p^x \times (1-p)^{(n-1)}\\\\\to P(x \geq 8) = 1 - P( \leq 7)$

Calculating the excel formula:

$=BINOM.DIST(7,10,0.50,TRUE)$

$\to P(x \geq 8) = 1 - 0.9453\\\\ \to P(x \geq 8) = 0.0547$

Graph the system. Tell whether the system has one solution, no solution, or infinitely many solutions. y = –2x + 1 y = –2x – 3

Alchen [17]

Let's try the actual solution of the system

<span>y = –2x + 1
y = –2x – 3

Note that the slopes of the graphs of these two lines are the same: -2.

That means that the lines are parallel to one another.

Only the y-intercepts (1 and -3) are different.

Since the 2 lines never intersect, the system has no solution.

Evaluate the triple integral ∭EzdV where E is the solid bounded by the cylinder y2+z2=81 and the planes x=0,y=9x and z=0 in the

dem82 [27]

Answer:

I = 91.125

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

$I = \int \int_E \int zdV$ where E is bounded by the cylinder $y^2 + z^2 = 81$ and the planes x = 0 , y = 9x and z = 0 in the first octant.

The initial activity to carry out is to determine the limits of the region

since curve z = 0 and $y^2 + z^2 = 81$

∴ $z^2 = 81 - y^2$

$z = \sqrt{81 - y^2}$

Thus, z lies between 0 to $\sqrt{81 - y^2}$

GIven curve x = 0 and y = 9x

$x =\dfrac{y}{9}$

As such,x lies between 0 to $\dfrac{y}{9}$

Given curve x = 0 , $x =\dfrac{y}{9}$ and z = 0, $y^2 + z^2 = 81$

y = 0 and

$y^2 = 81 \\ \\ y = \sqrt{81} \\ \\ y = 9$

∴ y lies between 0 and 9

Then $I = \int^9_{y=0} \int^{\dfrac{y}{9}}_{x=0} \int^{\sqrt{81-y^2}}_{z=0} \ zdzdxdy$

$I = \int^9_{y=0} \int^{\dfrac{y}{9}}_{x=0} \begin {bmatrix} \dfrac{z^2}{2} \end {bmatrix} ^ {\sqrt {{81-y^2}}}_{0} \ dxdy$

$I = \int^9_{y=0} \int^{\dfrac{y}{9}}_{x=0} \begin {bmatrix} \dfrac{(\sqrt{81 -y^2})^2 }{2}-0 \end {bmatrix} \ dxdy$

$I = \int^9_{y=0} \int^{\dfrac{y}{9}}_{x=0} \begin {bmatrix} \dfrac{{81 -y^2} }{2} \end {bmatrix} \ dxdy$

$I = \int^9_{y=0} \begin {bmatrix} \dfrac{{81x -xy^2} }{2} \end {bmatrix} ^{\dfrac{y}{9}}_{0} \ dy$

$I = \int^9_{y=0} \begin {bmatrix} \dfrac{{81(\dfrac{y}{9}) -(\dfrac{y}{9})y^2} }{2}-0 \end {bmatrix} \ dy$

$I = \int^9_{y=0} \begin {bmatrix} \dfrac{{81 \ y -y^3} }{18} \end {bmatrix} \ dy$

$I = \dfrac{1}{18} \int^9_{y=0} \begin {bmatrix} {81 \ y -y^3} \end {bmatrix} \ dy$

$I = \dfrac{1}{18} \begin {bmatrix} {81 \ \dfrac{y^2}{2} - \dfrac{y^4}{4}} \end {bmatrix}^9_0$

$I = \dfrac{1}{18} \begin {bmatrix} {40.5 \ (9^2) - \dfrac{9^4}{4}} \end {bmatrix}$

$I = \dfrac{1}{18} \begin {bmatrix} 3280.5 - 1640.25 \end {bmatrix}$

$I = \dfrac{1}{18} \begin {bmatrix} 1640.25 \end {bmatrix}$

I = 91.125
