In a carnival game, there are six identical boxes, one of which contains a prize. A contestant wins the prize by selecting the b

ox containing it. Before each game, the old prize is removed and another prize is placed at random in one of the six boxes. Is it appropriate to use the binomial probability distribution to find the probability that a contestant who plays the game five times wins exactly twice?
A) Yes. The five trials are independent, have only two outcomes, and have the same P(success); n = 5, r = 2, p = 1/5.
B) Yes. The five trials are independent, have only two outcomes, and have the same P(success); n = 2, r = 5, p = 1/6.
C) No. The five trials are independent, but have more than two outcomes.
D) Yes. The five trials are independent, have only two outcomes, and have the same P(success); n = 5, r = 2, p = 1/6.

Answer:

D) Yes. The five trials are independent, have only two outcomes, and have the same P(success); n = 5, r = 2, p = 1/6.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Number of boxes = 6

Box containing a prize = 1

Probability of success, p = box containing a price / number of boxes = 1 /6

Number of trials = 5

Probability of success on exactly 2 trials, r = 2

Hence,

P(r = 2) = nCr * p^r * (1-p)^(n-r)

n = 5 ; r = 2 ; p = 1/6

Using a binomial probability calculator :

P(r = 2) = 0.1608

Answer:

Dear Laura Ramirez

Answer to your query is provided below

The ratio of triangle XYZ is 1:√3 :2.

Step-by-step explanation:

A 30-60-90 right triangle (literally pronounced "thirty sixty ninety") is a special type of right triangle where the three angles measure 30 degrees, 60 degrees, and 90 degrees. The triangle is significant because the sides exist in an easy-to-remember ratio: 1:√3 :2.

Line ET is tangent to circle A at point T and the measure of angle TNG is 35.
STALIN [3.7K]

ET is tangent to circle A so ET is perpendicular to AT

So <ATE = 90°

Given <TNG = 35°

<NET = <ATE - <TNG

= 90° - 35°

= 55°

Answer is 55°

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Two Angles are Supplementary when they add up to 180 degrees. They don't have to be next to each other, just so long as the total is 180 degrees. Examples: • 60° and 120° are supplementary angles.
