Answer:

y = 1/6x -4

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the slope

m= ( y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m=(-5 - -3)/( -6 -6)

= (-5+3)/ (-6-6)

= -2/-12

= 1/6

The slope intercept form is

y= mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

y = 1/6 x +b

Substitute a point into the equation

-5 = 1/6(-6) +b

-5 = -1+b

Add 1 to each side

-4 = b

y = 1/6x -4

Answer:

a) Let the random variable X= "number of these tracks where SBIRS detects the object." in order to use the binomial probability distribution we need to satisfy some conditions:

1) Independence between the trials (satisfied)

2) A value of n fixed , for this case is 20 (satisfied)

3) Probability of success p =0.2 fixed (Satisfied)

So then we have all the conditions and we can assume that:

$X \sim Bin(n =20, p=0.8)$

b) $X \sim Bin(n =20, p=0.8)$

c) $P(X=15)=(20C15)(0.8)^{15} (1-0.8)^{20-15}=0.17456$

d) $P(X \geq 15) = P(X=15)+ .....+P(X=20)$

$P(X=15)=(20C15)(0.8)^{15} (1-0.8)^{20-15}=0.17456$

$P(X=16)=(20C16)(0.8)^{16} (1-0.8)^{20-16}=0.218$

$P(X=17)=(20C17)(0.8)^{17} (1-0.8)^{20-17}=0.205$

$P(X=18)=(20C18)(0.8)^{18} (1-0.8)^{20-18}=0.137$

$P(X=19)=(20C19)(0.8)^{19} (1-0.8)^{20-19}=0.058$

$P(X=20)=(20C20)(0.8)^{20} (1-0.8)^{20-20}=0.012$

$P(X\geq 15)=0.804208$

e) $E(X) = np = 20*0.8 = 16$

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The binomial distribution is a "DISCRETE probability distribution that summarizes the probability that a value will take one of two independent values under a given set of parameters. The assumptions for the binomial distribution are that there is only one outcome for each trial, each trial has the same probability of success, and each trial is mutually exclusive, or independent of each other".

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:

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

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:

$nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}$

Part a

Let the random variable X= "number of these tracks where SBIRS detects the object." in order to use the binomial probability distribution we need to satisfy some conditions:

1) Independence between the trials (satisfied)

2) A value of n fixed , for this case is 20 (satisfied)

3) Probability of success p =0.2 fixed (Satisfied)

So then we have all the conditions and we can assume that:

$X \sim Bin(n =20, p=0.8)$

Part b

$X \sim Bin(n =20, p=0.8)$

Part c

For this case we just need to replace into the mass function and we got:

$P(X=15)=(20C15)(0.8)^{15} (1-0.8)^{20-15}=0.17456$

Part d

For this case we want this probability: $P(X\geq 15)$

And we can solve this using the complement rule:

$P(X \geq 15) = P(X=15)+ .....+P(X=20)$

$P(X=15)=(20C15)(0.8)^{15} (1-0.8)^{20-15}=0.17456$

$P(X=16)=(20C16)(0.8)^{16} (1-0.8)^{20-16}=0.218$

$P(X=17)=(20C17)(0.8)^{17} (1-0.8)^{20-17}=0.205$

$P(X=18)=(20C18)(0.8)^{18} (1-0.8)^{20-18}=0.137$

$P(X=19)=(20C19)(0.8)^{19} (1-0.8)^{20-19}=0.058$

$P(X=20)=(20C20)(0.8)^{20} (1-0.8)^{20-20}=0.012$

$P(X\geq 15)=0.804208$

Part e

The expected value is given by:

$E(X) = np = 20*0.8 = 16$

the elephants at the norfolk zoo are fed 1/2 a barrel of corn each day. the buffalo are fed 7/10 as much corn as the elephants.

7/20 barrels of corn are the buffalo fed each day.

How to solve word problems?

It's actually fairly easy to solve word problems using a tried-and-true step-by-step approach.

Aloud to yourself, read the issue.
Make a Drawing.
Ask yourself, "What am I looking for?"
List the items that have been provided.
Locate the key phrases.
Solve.
Verify your work.

Here are some actions to take:

Recognize the issue, including all the terminology used to describe it. Recognize what you need to look for, Recognize the issue's context.
Convert the issue into an equation. Give the unknown a variable (or variables) to symbolize, Indicate exactly what the variable stands for.
Put the strategy into action and find a solution.

Given:

Elephants at the Norfolk zoo are fed = 1/2

Buffalo are fed 7/10 as much corn as the elephants = 7/10 * Elephants fed

= 7/10 * 1/2

= 7/20

Hence, 7/20 barrels of corn are the buffalo fed each day.
