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

What is the factored form of x^3-1
polet [3.4K]

Answer:

the factors of x^3-1 are x^3 -1 = (x-1) (x^2 +x+1)\\

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find factors of x^3 -1

x^3-1 \\(x)^3 -(1)^3\\We \,\, know\,\, a^3 -b^3 = (a-b) (a^2 +ab + y^2) \\So, \,\, using\,\, the \,\, formula\,\,\\Here\,\, a= x \,\,and\,\, b= 1\\(x)^3 -(1)^3 = (x-1) (x^2 +x+1)\\

So, the factors of x^3-1 are x^3 -1 = (x-1) (x^2 +x+1)\\

the sum of a tree digit number and a one digit number is 160.The product of the two numbers is 624.Whatare the two numbers
Marrrta [24]
The two #'s are 156 and 4.
When you multiply 156*4=624.
When you add them together 156+4=160
You can also check you're work using a calculator.

Order these from least to greatest. -13/8, -2.1, -26/13, -9/4 I know how to do this I'm just to lazy too and I want to chat.
oksian1 [2.3K]
-9/4, -2.1 , -26/13, -13/8 you can double check by inserting all these into a calculator so u can see in decimal form and basically the bigger the number that’s negative the less value it is (sorry that’s kind of a bad explanation but i hope this helps :) )
