Find the solution of the system of equations.<br> -5x+3y=3<br> -4x+3y=3

For each call, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they are answered in less than 30 seconds. Or they are not. The probabilities for each call are independent. So we use the binomial probability distribution 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.

In this problem we have that:

$p = 0.85$

(a) If you call 12 times, what is the probability that exactly 9 of your calls are answered within 30 seconds? Round your answer to four decimal places (e.g. 98.7654).

This is $P(X = 9)$ when $n = 12$ .

So

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

$P(X = 9) = C_{12,9}.(0.85)^{9}.(0.15)^{3} = 0.1720$

(b) If you call 20 times, what is the probability that at least 16 calls are answered in less than 30 seconds? Round your answer to four decimal places (e.g. 98.7654).

This is $P(X \geq 16)$ when $n = 20$

So

$P(X \geq 16) = P(X = 16) + P(X = 17) + P(X = 18) + P(X = 19) + P(X = 20)$

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

$P(X = 16) = C_{20,16}.(0.85)^{16}.(0.15)^{4} = 0.1821$

$P(X = 17) = C_{20,17}.(0.85)^{17}.(0.15)^{3} = 0.2428$

$P(X = 18) = C_{20,18}.(0.85)^{18}.(0.15)^{2} = 0.2293$

$P(X = 19) = C_{20,19}.(0.85)^{19}.(0.15)^{1} = 0.1368$

$P(X = 20) = C_{20,20}.(0.85)^{20}.(0.15)^{0} = 0.0388$

So

$P(X \geq 16) = P(X = 16) + P(X = 17) + P(X = 18) + P(X = 19) + P(X = 20) = 0.1821 + 0.2428 + 0.2293 + 0.1368 + 0.0388 = 0.8298$

(c) If you call 22 times, what is the mean number of calls that are answered in less than 30 seconds? Round your answer to the nearest integer.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

$E(X) = np$

In this question, we have $n = 22$

So

$E(X) = 22*0.85 = 18.7$

The nearest integer to 18.7 is 19.

What is the length of the hypotenuse of the triangle when x=14

astra-53 [7]

The length of the hypotenuse will be equal to H=122.25 when value of x=14.

<h3>What is pythagorean theorem?</h3>

Pythagorean theorem states that in the right angle triangle the hypotenuse square is equal the square of the sum of the other two sides.

It is given that:

Value of x=14

The perpendicular is =6x+5=6x14+5=89

The base is =6x=84

So by using the Pythagorean theorem:-

$H^2=P^2+B^2\\\\\\H^2=89^2+84^2\\\\\\H=\sqrt{89^2+84^2}\\\\\$
