Answer:

0.3758 = 37.58% probability that at most one of her first 10 arrows hits the target

Step-by-step explanation:

For each shot, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they hit the target, or they do not. The probability of a shot hitting the target is independent of any other shot, 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.

Each arrow with a probability 0.2

This means that p = 0.2

First 10 arrows

This means that n = 10

What is the probability that at most one of her first 10 arrows hits the target?

This is:

P(X \leq 1) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)

So

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

P(X = 0) = C_{10,0}.(0.2)^{0}.(0.8)^{10} = 0.1074

P(X = 1) = C_{10,1}.(0.2)^{1}.(0.8)^{9} = 0.2684

Then

P(X \leq 1) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.1074 + 0.2684 = 0.3758

0.3758 = 37.58% probability that at most one of her first 10 arrows hits the target

kirill115 [55]

Answer:

<h2>621.207km</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

We are expected to convert from miles to kilometer

first day 85 miles =136.794km

Second day 125 mile=201.168km

third day 176 miles =283.245km

Total distance covered is

136.794km+201.168km+283.245km=621.207km

Therefore the total distance in kilometer is 621.207km

m<1=23

m<2=90

m<3=67

m<4=113

m<5=67

the square means it is 90° so 2 is 90°.

all of the angles combined equals 360 so.

360-67-90= 203

since there is a straight line splitting down the middle. m<4=180-67=113

so m<4=113

now you would go 360-67-113-90=90 so

m<1 + m<3 =90

180-90-67=23.

m<1=23

360-67-23-90-113=67

m<3=67

Subjects for the next presidential election poll are contacted using telephone numbers in which the last four digits are randoml
vovikov84 [41]

Answer: 0.3439

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :The last four digits for telephone numbers are randomly selected​ (with replacement).

Here , each position can be occupied with any of the digit independently .

Total digits = 10

Total digits other than 0 = 9

For each digits , the probability that it is not 0 = \dfrac{9}{10}=0.9

If we select 4 digits , The probability of getting no 0 =(0.9)^4 =0.6561

(By multiplication rule of independent events)

Now , the probability that for one such phone​ number, the last four digits include at least one 0. = 1- P(none of them is 0)

=1- 0.6561=0.3439

Hence, the probability that for one such phone​ number, the last four digits include at least one 0. is 0.3439 .
