Answer:

The probability that the pitcher throws exactly 8 strikes out of 15 pitches is approximately 0.199

Step-by-step explanation:

The given probability that the pitcher throws a strike, p = 0.507

The number of pitches thrown by the pitcher = 15 pitches

The probability that the pitcher does not throw a strike, q = 1 - P

∴  q = 1 - 0.507 = 0.493

By binomial theorem, we have;

P(X = r) = \dbinom{n}{r}p^{r} \cdot q^{n-r}=  \dbinom{n}{r}p^{r} \cdot \left (1-p  \right )^{n-r}

When X = r =  8, and n = 15, we get;

The probability that the pitcher throws exactly 8 strikes out of 15 pitches, P(8), is given as follows

P(8) = ₁₅C₈ × 0.507⁸ × (1 - 0.507)⁽¹⁵ ⁻ ⁸⁾ = 6,435 × 0.507⁸ × 0.493⁷ ≈ 0.199

Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

x = 1/7

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 3 = x + 15x + 6 − 5

<em>Combine like terms and solve:</em>

2x + 3 = 16x + 1

-14x + 3 = 1

-14x = -2

x = 1/7

hope this helps!! p.s. i really need brainliest :)

158 boys, and 163 girls, do this by dividing 321 by two(do get how many of each gender if #s were equal) subtract 2.5 to get boys, and add 5 to that to get girls
