Answer:

0.4466 = 44.66% probability that, in exactly one of the two classes, all 8 students pass.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each student, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they pass, or they do not. The probability of an student passing is independent of other students, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

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.

Probability that all students pass in a class:

Class of 8 students, which means that n = 8

Each student has a 95% chance of passing their class independent of the other students, which means that p = 0.95

This probability is P(X = 8). So

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

P(X = 8) = C_{8,8}.(0.95)^{8}.(0.05)^{0} = 0.6634

Find the probability that, in exactly one of the two classes, all 8 students pass.

Two classes means that n = 2

0.6634 probability all students pass in a class, which means that p = 0.6634.

This probability is P(X = 1). So

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

P(X = 2) = C_{2,1}.(0.6634)^{1}.(0.3366)^{1} = 0.4466

0.4466 = 44.66% probability that, in exactly one of the two classes, all 8 students pass.

The angle measurements in the diagram are represented by the following expressions.
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

x=10

A = 84

Step-by-step explanation:

A and B are supplementary angles so they add to 180 degrees

A + B =180

2x+76 + 5x+34 = 180

Combine like terms

7x+ 110 = 180

7x+110-110 = 180-110

7x = 70

Divide by 7

x = 10

Now find A

A = 5x+34

A = 5*10 +34

  = 50+34

A = 84

Find sin theta if cos theta is 4/5
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

hello :

cos²θ +sin²θ = 1 and cosθ =4/5

(4/5)² + sin²θ = 1 so : sin²θ = 1 - 16/25

sin²θ = 9/25 = (3/5)²

sinθ = 3/5 or sinθ = - 3/5 because : (3/5)²= (- 3/5)²= 9/25
