A TV executive is interested in the popularity of a particular cable TV show. She has been told that a whopping 68% of American

households would be interested in tuning in to a new network version of the show. If this is correct, what is the probability that all 6 of the households in her city being monitored by the TV industry would tune in to the new show

Answer:

0.0989 = 9.89% probability that all 6 of the households in her city being monitored by the TV industry would tune in to the new show

Step-by-step explanation:

For each household, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they will tune in to the show, or they wont. The probability of a household being tuned in to the show is independent of any other household. This 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.

She has been told that a whopping 68% of American households would be interested in tuning in to a new network version of the show.

This means that p = 0.68

If this is correct, what is the probability that all 6 of the households in her city being monitored by the TV industry would tune in to the new show

All 6 is P(X = 6) when n = 6. So

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

P(X = 6) = C_{6,6}.(0.68)^{6}.(0.32)^{0} = 0.0989

0.0989 = 9.89% probability that all 6 of the households in her city being monitored by the TV industry would tune in to the new show

Write an equation in point slope form for a line that includes the origin and (9,-3)
aivan3 [116]
So we are given two points that the line crosses, the origin and (9, -3), we can calculate the slope m of the line with these data, dividing the y segment by the x segment:
m = (-3 - 0)/(9 - 0) = -3/9
m = -1/3
then we can use the point slope line equation to find the line equation, lets use the point origin (0,0) to do so:
y - y1 = m(x - x1), where x1, y1 are the coordinates of a point that the line crosses:
y - 0 = (-1/3)(x - 0)
y = <span>(-1/3)x
so this is the equation of the line, slope  -1/3 and y intercept 0</span>
