Answer:

33.275

Step-by-step explanation:

1 step: Difference in brackets

$3.5-2\dfrac{1}{3}=3\dfrac{1}{2}-2\dfrac{1}{3}=(3-2)+\left(\dfrac{1}{2}-\dfrac{1}{3}\right)=1+\dfrac{3-2}{3\cdot 2}=1+\dfrac{1}{6}=1\dfrac{1}{6}$

2 step: $0.75\div\dfrac{1}{3}$

$0.75\div\dfrac{1}{3}=\dfrac{75}{100}\div \dfrac{1}{3}=\dfrac{3}{4}\times \dfrac{3}{1}=\dfrac{9}{4}$

3 step: $1.28\div 0.04$

$1.28\div 0.04=128\div 4=32 \ \text{Move point two decimal places}$

4 step:

$2\dfrac{1}{4}\times 1\dfrac{1}{6}=\dfrac{2\cdot 4+1}{4}\times \dfrac{1\cdot 6+1}{6}=\dfrac{9}{4}\times \dfrac{7}{6}=\dfrac{63}{24}=\dfrac{21}{8}$

5 step:

$\dfrac{9}{4}+32-\dfrac{21}{8}+1.65=(32+1.65)+\left(\dfrac{9}{4}-\dfrac{21}{8}\right)=33.65+\dfrac{9\cdot 2-21}{8}=33.65-\dfrac{3}{8}=33.65-0.375=33.275$

Which of the fractional factors will result in a product that increases when multiplied by the fraction in the image?

Delicious77 [7]

the fraction in the image is 2 1/2

let's try each choice

1) 2/3 x 5/2 = 10/6 = 5/3

2) 5/4 x 5/2 = 25/8

3) 3/3 x 2 1/2 = 2 1/2

4) 4/5 x 5/2 = 20/10 = 2

who is giving you these questions?

Answer:

a) $P(X \leq 2)= P(X=0)+P(X=1)+P(X=2)$

And we can use the probability mass function and we got:

$P(X=0)=(20C0)(0.2)^0 (1-0.2)^{20-0}=0.0115$

$P(X=1)=(20C1)(0.2)^1 (1-0.2)^{20-1}=0.0576$

$P(X=2)=(20C2)(0.2)^2 (1-0.2)^{20-2}=0.1369$

And adding we got:

$P(X \leq 2)=0.0115+0.0576+0.1369 = 0.2061$

b) $P(X=4)=(20C4)(0.2)^4 (1-0.2)^{20-4}=0.2182$

c) $P(X>3) = 1-P(X \leq 3) = 1- [P(X=0)+P(X=1)+P(X=2)+P(X=3)]$

$P(X=0)=(20C0)(0.2)^0 (1-0.2)^{20-0}=0.0115$

$P(X=1)=(20C1)(0.2)^1 (1-0.2)^{20-1}=0.0576$

$P(X=2)=(20C2)(0.2)^2 (1-0.2)^{20-2}=0.1369$

$P(X=3)=(20C3)(0.2)^3 (1-0.2)^{20-3}=0.2054$

And replacing we got:

$P(X>3) = 1-[0.0115+0.0576+0.1369+0.2054]= 1-0.4114= 0.5886$

d) $E(X) = 20*0.2= 4$

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The binomial distribution is a "DISCRETE probability distribution that summarizes the probability that a value will take one of two independent values under a given set of parameters. The assumptions for the binomial distribution are that there is only one outcome for each trial, each trial has the same probability of success, and each trial is mutually exclusive, or independent of each other".

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable of interest, on this case we now that:

$X \sim Binom(n=20, p=0.2)$

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:

$P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}$

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:

$nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}$

Part a

We want this probability:

$P(X \leq 2)= P(X=0)+P(X=1)+P(X=2)$

And we can use the probability mass function and we got:

$P(X=0)=(20C0)(0.2)^0 (1-0.2)^{20-0}=0.0115$

$P(X=1)=(20C1)(0.2)^1 (1-0.2)^{20-1}=0.0576$

$P(X=2)=(20C2)(0.2)^2 (1-0.2)^{20-2}=0.1369$

And adding we got:

$P(X \leq 2)=0.0115+0.0576+0.1369 = 0.2061$

Part b

We want this probability:

$P(X=4)$

And using the probability mass function we got:

$P(X=4)=(20C4)(0.2)^4 (1-0.2)^{20-4}=0.2182$

Part c

We want this probability:

$P(X>3)$

We can use the complement rule and we got:

$P(X>3) = 1-P(X \leq 3) = 1- [P(X=0)+P(X=1)+P(X=2)+P(X=3)]$

$P(X=0)=(20C0)(0.2)^0 (1-0.2)^{20-0}=0.0115$

$P(X=1)=(20C1)(0.2)^1 (1-0.2)^{20-1}=0.0576$

$P(X=2)=(20C2)(0.2)^2 (1-0.2)^{20-2}=0.1369$

$P(X=3)=(20C3)(0.2)^3 (1-0.2)^{20-3}=0.2054$

And replacing we got:

$P(X>3) = 1-[0.0115+0.0576+0.1369+0.2054]= 1-0.4114= 0.5886$

Part d

The expected value is given by:

$E(X) = np$

And replacing we got:

$E(X) = 20*0.2= 4$
