Answer:

x=\dfrac{y}{0.62}

Step-by-step explanation:

5\ \text{km}=3.1\ \text{miles}\\\Rightarrow 1\ \text{km}=\dfrac{3.1}{5}=0.62\ \text{miles}

10\ \text{km}=6.2\ \text{miles}\\\Rightarrow 1\ \text{km}=\dfrac{6.2}{10}=0.62\ \text{miles}

Let y be the distance in miles. So distance in km is given by

x=\dfrac{y}{0.62}.

The equation that shows the approximate distance in kilometers as a function if the distance in miles is x=\dfrac{y}{0.62}.

What is the formula for the expected number of successes in a binomial experiment with n trials and probability of success​ p? C
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

(D)E[ X ] =np.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a binomial experiment with n trials and probability of success​ p,

f(x)=\left(\begin{array}{c}n\\k\end{array}\right)p^x(1-p)^{n-x}, 0\leq  x\leq n

E(X)=\sum_{x=0}^{n}xf(x)= \sum_{x=0}^{n}x\left(\begin{array}{c}n\\k\end{array}\right)p^x(1-p)^{n-x}

Since each term of the summation is multiplied by x, the value of the term corresponding to x = 0 will be 0. Therefore the expected value becomes:

E(X)=\sum_{x=1}^{n}x\left(\begin{array}{c}n\\x\end{array}\right)p^x(1-p)^{n-x}

Now,

x\left(\begin{array}{c}n\\x\end{array}\right)= \frac{xn!}{x!(n-x)!}=\frac{n!}{(x-)!(n-x)!}=\frac{n(n-1)!}{(x-1)!((n-1)-(x-1))!}=n\left(\begin{array}{c}n-1\\x-1\end{array}\right)

Substituting,

E(X)=\sum_{x=1}^{n}n\left(\begin{array}{c}n-1\\x-1\end{array}\right)p^x(1-p)^{n-x}

Factoring out the n and one p from the above expression:

E(X)=np\sum_{x=1}^{n}n\left(\begin{array}{c}n-1\\x-1\end{array}\right)p^{x-1}(1-p)^{(n-1)-(x-1)}

Representing k=x-1 in the above gives us:

E(X)=np\sum_{k=0}^{n}n\left(\begin{array}{c}n-1\\k\end{array}\right)p^{k}(1-p)^{(n-1)-k}

This can then be written by the Binomial Formula as:

E[ X ] = (np) (p +(1 - p))^{n -1 }= np.
