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 bike path around the park near my house is 2/3 of a mile long. If I want to bike 10 miles, how many times would I have to bi
Olin [163]

Answer:

  15

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to find n such that ...

  n×(2/3 mi) = 10 mi

Divide by 2/3 mi:

  n = (10 mi)/(2/3 mi) = 10·3/2 = 15

You would have to bike the path 15 times to bike 10 miles.

Determine whether the number is a solution of the equation.
aev [14]
Answer:
Yes. -4 is the solution to the equation.
Explanation:
2 + 4(-4) = - 14
2 + (-16) = - 14
2 - 16 = - 14
- 14 = - 14

Equilateral triangles have three equal angles, so we right away know that x=60º. Then, we just solve (3(60)-70)º, which is 110º, for the answer.
