A thumbtack that is tossed can land point up or point down. The probability of a tack landing point up is 0.2. A simulation was

conducted in which a trial consisted of tossing 5 thumbtacks and recording the number of thumbtacks that land point up. Many trials of the simulation were conducted and the results are shown in the histogram.
Based on the results of the simulation, which of the following is closest to the probability that at least 2 thumbtacks land pointing up when 5 thumbtacks are tossed?

A 0.09

B 0.19

C 0.28

D 0.72

E 0.91

Answer:

Option C: 0.28

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a binomial probability distribution problem.

Now, we want to find the probability that at least 2 thumbtacks land pointing up when 5 thumbtacks are tossed. This is written as;

P(X ≥ 2) = P(2) + P(3) + P(4) + P(5)

From the histogram;

P(5) = 0.02

P(4) = 0.02

P(3) = 0.05

P(2) = 0.19

Thus;

P(X ≥ 2) = 0.19 + 0.05 + 0.02 + 0.02

P(X ≥ 2) = 0.28

Answer:

$\sin L = 0.60$

$tan\ N = 1.33$

$\cos L = 0.80$

$\sin N = 0.80$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment

From the attachment, we have:

$MN = 6$

$LN = 10$

First, we need to calculate length LM,

Using Pythagoras theorem:

$LN^2 = MN^2 + LM^2$

$10^2 = 6^2 + LM^2$

$100 = 36 + LM^2$

Collect Like Terms

$LM^2 = 100 - 36$

$LM^2 = 64$

$LM = 8$

Solving (a): $\sin L$

$\sin L = \frac{Opposite}{Hypotenuse}$

$\sin L = \frac{MN}{LN}$

Substitute values for MN and LN

$\sin L = \frac{6}{10}$

$\sin L = 0.60$

Solving (b): $tan\ N$

$tan\ N = \frac{Opposite}{Adjacent}$

$tan\ N = \frac{LM}{MN}$

Substitute values for LM and MN

$tan\ N = \frac{8}{6}$

$tan\ N = 1.33$

Solving (c): $\cos L$

$\cos L = \frac{Adjacent}{Hypotenuse}$

$\cos L = \frac{LM}{LN}$

Substitute values for LN and LM

$\cos L = \frac{8}{10}$

$\cos L = 0.80$

Solving (d): $\sin N$

$\sin N = \frac{Opposite}{Hypotenuse}$

$\sin N = \frac{LM}{LN}$

Substitute values for LM and LN

$\sin N = \frac{8}{10}$

$\sin N = 0.80$

What is the probability that a randomly drawn marble from bag is green. Given that it is not red?

tatiyna

Answer:

The probability is 0.2, or 20%.

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the ratio of the number of relevant outcomes and the number of all possible outcomes. If we know that the marble drawn is not red, the number of possible outcomes N is

N = (number of blue marbles) + (number of green marbles) = 25

and the number of relevant outcomes (marble being green) is n:

n = (number of green marbles) = 5

So, the probability is

P = n / N = 5 / 25 = 1 / 5 or 0.2, or 20%
