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:

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

Iteru [2.4K]

Step-by-step explanation:

Example 1

Solve the equation x3 − 3x2 – 2x + 4 = 0

We put the numbers that are factors of 4 into the equation to see if any of them are correct.

f(1) = 13 − 3×12 – 2×1 + 4 = 0 1 is a solution

f(−1) = (−1)3 − 3×(−1)2 – 2×(−1) + 4 = 2

f(2) = 23 − 3×22 – 2×2 + 4 = −4

f(−2) = (−2)3 − 3×(−2)2 – 2×(−2) + 4 = −12

f(4) = 43 − 3×42 – 2×4 + 4 = 12

f(−4) = (−4)3 − 3×(−4)2 – 2×(−4) + 4 = −100

The only integer solution is x = 1. When we have found one solution we don’t really need to test any other numbers because we can now solve the equation by dividing by (x − 1) and trying to solve the quadratic we get from the division.

Now we can factorise our expression as follows:

x3 − 3x2 – 2x + 4 = (x − 1)(x2 − 2x − 4) = 0

It now remains for us to solve the quadratic equation.

x2 − 2x − 4 = 0

We use the formula for quadratics with a = 1, b = −2 and c = −4.

We have now found all three solutions of the equation x3 − 3x2 – 2x + 4 = 0. They are: eftirfarandi:

x = 1

x = 1 + Ö5

x = 1 − Ö5

Example 2

We can easily use the same method to solve a fourth degree equation or equations of a still higher degree. Solve the equation f(x) = x4 − x3 − 5x2 + 3x + 2 = 0.

First we find the integer factors of the constant term, 2. The integer factors of 2 are ±1 and ±2.

f(1) = 14 − 13 − 5×12 + 3×1 + 2 = 0 1 is a solution

f(−1) = (−1)4 − (−1)3 − 5×(−1)2 + 3×(−1) + 2 = −4

f(2) = 24 − 23 − 5×22 + 3×2 + 2 = −4

f(−2) = (−2)4 − (−2)3 − 5×(−2)2 + 3×(−2) + 2 = 0 we have found a second solution.

The two solutions we have found 1 and −2 mean that we can divide by x − 1 and x + 2 and there will be no remainder. We’ll do this in two steps.

First divide by x + 2

Now divide the resulting cubic factor by x − 1.

We have now factorised

f(x) = x4 − x3 − 5x2 + 3x + 2 into

f(x) = (x + 2)(x − 1)(x2 − 2x − 1) and it only remains to solve the quadratic equation

x2 − 2x − 1 = 0. We use the formula with a = 1, b = −2 and c = −1.

Now we have found a total of four solutions. They are:

x = 1

x = −2

x = 1 +

x = 1 −

Sometimes we can solve a third degree equation by bracketing the terms two by two and finding a factor that they have in common.

cestrela7 [59]

Answer: Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Yes it is, your ratio would be 10.50:1

$10.50 spent on every one ticket. if you buy more than one, a fraction would still simplify down to 10.50/1.

if you were to buy the popcorn then no it wouldn't be.
