Use synthetic substitution to find |(3) for f(x) = x2

If 90 percent of automobiles in Orange County have both headlights working, what is the probability that in a sample of eight au

Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

$P(X \geq 7) = P(X=7) +P(X=8)$

And we can find the individual probabilities using the probability mass function

$P(X=7)=(8C7)(0.9)^7 (1-0.9)^{8-7}=0.3826$

$P(X=8)=(8C8)(0.9)^8 (1-0.9)^{8-8}=0.4305$

And replacing we got:

$P(X \geq 7) = P(X=7) +P(X=8)=0.3826 +0.4305=0.8131$

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 "number of automobiles with both headligths working", on this case we now that:

$X \sim Binom(n=8, p=0.9)$

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:

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

And for this case we want to find this probability:

$P(X \geq 7) = P(X=7) +P(X=8)$

And we can find the individual probabilities using the probability mass function

$P(X=7)=(8C7)(0.9)^7 (1-0.9)^{8-7}=0.3826$

$P(X=8)=(8C8)(0.9)^8 (1-0.9)^{8-8}=0.4305$

And replacing we got:

$P(X \geq 7) = P(X=7) +P(X=8)=0.3826 +0.4305=0.8131$

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write them both like functions like this

Where

x=input

A=Output A

B=Output B

We want the output of A 3 times the output of B this can be written like this:

we replace with the functions

we solve for x

The output that makes the out put of A 3 times teh output of B is

What is the range of the function y= -|x|

Katen [24]

Hello, again!!

So, the range is the outcome when you plug in any x. In other words, the y.
Because this is absolute value, the x will turn positive. However, the number will then turn negative.
Therefore, y will ALWAYS be negative.

The answer is C.

Hope this helps!! Let me know if you have ANY questions.

Solve the system of equations by the substitution method.<br> y = 5x + 6<br> y=9x+7.

joja [24]

Answer:

(-1/4, 19/4)

Step-by-step explanation:

5x+6=9x+7

-4x=1

x= -1/4

y=5(-1/4) +6

y=19/4

SOMEONE HELP ITS DUE TONIGHT

il63 [147K]

Answer:

n=27 degrees

m=36 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

So the inside triangle has two equal sides. To find these angles you would do the degrees of a triangle (180) minus the known value and then divided by two.

so it is: 180-126/2 which gives you 27 degrees.

this means the n value is 27.

to find m, you have to take away 90 degrees and the n value from 180.

so it is: 180-90-27 which gives you 63 degrees.

now you must take the smaller angle from 63 degrees to find m.

so it is: 63-27 which gives you 36

therefore...

n=27 degrees

m=36 degrees
