Answer:

\begin{array}{cccccc}x & {0} & {1} & {2} & {3} & {4} \ \\ P(x) & {0.0256} & {0.1536} & {0.3456} & {0.3456} & {0.1296} \ \end{array}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

p = 60\%

n = 4

Required

The distribution of x

The above is an illustration of binomial theorem where:

P(x) = ^nC_x * p^x *(1 - p)^{n-x}

This gives:

P(x) = ^4C_x * (60\%)^x *(1 - 60\%)^{n-x}

Express percentage as decimal

P(x) = ^4C_x * (0.60)^x *(1 - 0.60)^{n-x}

P(x) = ^4C_x * (0.60)^x *(0.40)^{4-x}

When x = 0, we have:

P(x=0) = ^4C_0 * (0.60)^0 *(0.40)^{4-0}

P(x=0) = 1 * 1 *(0.40)^4

P(x=0) = 0.0256

When x = 1

P(x=1) = ^4C_1 * (0.60)^1 *(0.40)^{4-1}

P(x=1) = 4 * (0.60) *(0.40)^3

P(x=1) = 0.1536

When x = 2

P(x=2) = ^4C_2 * (0.60)^2 *(0.40)^{4-2}

P(x=2) = 6 * (0.60)^2 *(0.40)^2

P(x=2) = 0.3456

When x = 3

P(x=3) = ^4C_3 * (0.60)^3 *(0.40)^{4-3}

P(x=3) = 4 * (0.60)^3 *(0.40)

P(x=3) = 0.3456

When x = 4

P(x=4) = ^4C_4 * (0.60)^4 *(0.40)^{4-4}

P(x=4) = 1 * (0.60)^4 *(0.40)^0

P(x=4) = 0.1296

So, the probability distribution is:

\begin{array}{cccccc}x & {0} & {1} & {2} & {3} & {4} \ \\ P(x) & {0.0256} & {0.1536} & {0.3456} & {0.3456} & {0.1296} \ \end{array}

Which drawing shows two lines that intersect at Point a ax, tab, two lines ab, straight x a.​
leonid [27]

The drawing which shows two lines that intersect at Point, A is as represented in Choice 1: Top-left corner.

Discussion:

In geometry, a line or straight line was introduced by ancient mathematicians to represent straight objects with negligible width and depth.

  • Lines are therefore an idealization of such objects, which are often described in terms of two points or referred to using a single letter.

Ultimately, The drawing which shows two lines that intersect at Point, A are as represented in Choice 1: Top-left corner.

Paha777 [63]

Answer:

Ezequiel's final grade is 8

Step-by-step explanation:

The average (mean) of Ezequiel's grade is:

\frac{(8.3+6.8+9.4)}{3} \approx 8.16666

which rounded to the nearest unit is 8.

Please Help ASAP! I suck at geometry :(
ZanzabumX [31]

We know that for every 5 red bricks there were 2 gray bricks.

The total amount of red bricks and grey bricks in this sample is 7.

5 red bricks + 2 grey bricks = 7 bricks

Now, we divide 175 "total number of bricks used" by 7 "5 red bricks + 2 grey bricks = 7 bricks" and we will get a quotient of 25.

Now we know that 25 bricks is \frac{1}{7} of the wall. The gray bricks are \frac{2}{7} so we can multiply 25 by 2 and we will get a product of 50. If 1/7 = 25 grey bricks so 2/7 would be the grey bricks.

175 - 50 = number of red bricks.

Therefore, there were 125 red bricks.
