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

Answer:

You take turns plugging in each number for your answers. I’ll list them below.

6(0) - (0)2 = 0

6(1) - (1)2 = 4

6(2) - (2)2 = 8

6(3) - (3)2 = 12

6(4) - (4)2 = 16

6(5) - (5)2 = 20

6(6) - (6)2 = 24

The pattern I’ve noticed is every time you increase the value from the previous meaning for x, the solution increases by 4. I hope this helps and let me know if I’m right.
