The probability that a certain hockey team will win any given game is 0.3773 based on their 13 year win history of 389 wins out

of 1031 games played (as of a certain date). Their schedule for November contains 12 games. Let X = number of games won in November.
Find the probability that the hockey team wins at least 3 games in November. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

Answer:

0.8895 = 88.95% probability that the hockey team wins at least 3 games in November.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each game, there are only two possible outcomes. Either the teams wins, or they do not win. The probability of the team winning a game is independent of any other game, 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.

The probability that a certain hockey team will win any given game is 0.3773.

This means that p = 0.3773

Their schedule for November contains 12 games.

This means that n = 12

Find the probability that the hockey team wins at least 3 games in November.

This is:

P(X \geq 3) = 1 - P(X < 3)

In which:

P(X < 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2)

So

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

P(X = 0) = C_{12,0}.(0.3773)^{0}.(0.6227)^{12} = 0.0034

P(X = 1) = C_{12,1}.(0.3773)^{1}.(0.6227)^{11} = 0.0247

P(X = 2) = C_{12,2}.(0.3773)^{2}.(0.6227)^{10} = 0.0824

Then

P(X < 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) = 0.0034 + 0.0247 + 0.0824 = 0.1105

P(X \geq 3) = 1 - P(X < 3) = 1 - 0.1105 = 0.8895

0.8895 = 88.95% probability that the hockey team wins at least 3 games in November.

The following lines are ______ <br><br> 4x + 2y = 10 y = -2x + 15
zmey [24]

Answer:

Parallel

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

given

4x + 2y = 10 ( subtract 4x from both sides )

2y = - 4x + 10 ( divide through by 2 )

y = - 2x + 5 ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - 2

and

y = - 2x + 15 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - 2

• parallel lines have equal slopes

then the 2 lines are parallel

4. Diego is thinking of two positive numbers. He says, "If we triple the first number and
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

3<em>x </em>+ 2<em>y</em> = 34. and two possible pairs of positive numbers are  (<em>x</em>, <em>y</em>) = (10, 2) and (<em>x</em>, <em>y</em>) = (4, 11).

Step-by-step explanation:

 Let the First positive number be <em>x</em> and second positive number be <em>y.</em>

Triple of first number = 3<em>x</em>

double of second number = 2<em>y</em>

According to question,

3<em>x </em>+ 2<em>y</em> = 34

Therefore, the equation is 3<em>x </em>+ 2<em>y</em> = 34

So the two possible pair of numbers Diego would be thinking of must satisfy the equation 3<em>x </em>+ 2<em>y</em> = 34

Now,  3<em>x </em>+ 2<em>y</em> = 34

3<em>x </em>= 34 - 2<em>y</em>

Let x = 10 and by substituting its value in above expression,

3 \times 10 = 34 - 2y

30 = 34 - 2y

2y = 34 - 30

2y = 4

y = 2

Therefore first pair (<em>x</em>, <em>y</em>) = (10, 2)

In the same way put x = 4 then,

3<em>x </em>= 34 - 2<em>y</em>

3 \times 4 = 34 - 2y

2y = 34 - 12

2y = 22

y = 11

Therefore first pair (<em>x</em>, <em>y</em>) = (4, 11)

Therefore, (<em>x</em>, <em>y</em>) = (4, 11) and  (<em>x</em>, <em>y</em>) = (10, 2) are the two possible pairs of numbers Diego could be thinking of as these both values satisfy the equation 3<em>x </em>+ 2<em>y</em> = 34.

Find the midpoint of the line segment shown below.
balu736 [363]

Answer:

x²-6x+y²-4y=-4

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the circle equation stands like this:

(x-a)² + (y-b)² = R²

and (a,b) is center

and R stands for Radius

so in this case:

center = (3,2)

R = 3

So

(x-3)² + (y-2)² = 9

x²-6x+9 + y²-4y+4=9

x²-6x+y²-4y=-4
