WARRIOR [948]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

300 students

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two ways to solve this question.

  • Way Number 1

60 is 20% of the total students

20÷100= 0.2

60÷0.2=300

Therefore there are 300 students

  • Way Number 2

60 is 20% of the total students

60/20 = x/100

x= 60*100÷20

x= 6000÷20

x= 300

Therefore there are 300 students.

Find the probability of each event.
jeka57 [31]

Using the binomial distribution, it is found that there is a 0.0108 = 1.08% probability of the coin landing tails up at least nine times.

<h3>What is the binomial distribution formula?</h3>

The formula is:

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

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

The parameters are:

  • x is the number of successes.
  • n is the number of trials.
  • p is the probability of a success on a single trial.

In this problem:

  • The coin is fair, hence p = 0.5.
  • The coin is tossed 10 times, hence n = 10.

The probability that is lands tails up at least nine times is given by:

P(X \geq 9) = P(X = 9) + P(X = 10)

In which:

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

P(X = 9) = C_{10,9}.(0.5)^{9}.(0.5)^{1} = 0.0098

P(X = 10) = C_{10,10}.(0.5)^{10}.(0.5)^{0} = 0.001

Hence:

P(X \geq 9) = P(X = 9) + P(X = 10) = 0.0098 + 0.001 = 0.0108

0.0108 = 1.08% probability of the coin landing tails up at least nine times.

When 5 is subtracted from the square of a number, the result is 4 times the number. Find the negative solution.
wariber [46]

Answer:

-1

Step-by-step explanation:

You can write it as...

x^{2} -5=4x

Carry the 4x

x^{2} -4x-5=0

Then use the quadratic formula to solve, since you want to find the negative solution, you don't need to find the positive solution, so we will have

(4-\sqrt{16+20}) /2=\frac{4-6}{2}=\frac{-2}{2} =-1

Therefore our answer is -1
