According to a survey, 65% of murders committed last year were cleared by arrest or exceptional means. Fifty murders committed

Answer:

a) $P(X=41)=(50C41)(0.65)^{41} (1-0.65)^{50-41}=0.00421$

b) $P(X=36)=(50C36)(0.65)^{36} (1-0.65)^{50-36}=0.0714$

$P(X=37)=(50C37)(0.65)^{37} (1-0.65)^{50-37}=0.0502$

$P(X=38)=(50C38)(0.65)^{38} (1-0.65)^{50-38}=0.0319$

And adding these values we got:

$P(36 \leq X \leq 38)= 0.1535$

c) We can find the expected value given by:

$E(X) = np =50*0.65 = 32.5$

And the standard deviation would be:

$\sigma = \sqrt{np(1-p)} \sqrt{50*0.65*(1-0.65)}= 3.373$

We can use the approximation to the normal distribution and we have at leat 95% of the data within 2 deviations from the mean. And the lower limit for this case would be:

$\mu -2\sigma = 32.5- 2*3.373 = 25.75$

And then we can consider a value of 18 as unusual lower for this case.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X the random variable of interest "number cleared by arrest or exceptional", on this case we can model this variable with this distribution:

$X \sim Binom(n=50, p=0.65)$

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:

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

Part a

We want this probability:

$P(X=41)=(50C41)(0.65)^{41} (1-0.65)^{50-41}=0.00421$

Part b

We want this probability:

$P(36 \leq X \leq 38)$

We can find the individual probabilities:

$P(X=36)=(50C36)(0.65)^{36} (1-0.65)^{50-36}=0.0714$

$P(X=37)=(50C37)(0.65)^{37} (1-0.65)^{50-37}=0.0502$

$P(X=38)=(50C38)(0.65)^{38} (1-0.65)^{50-38}=0.0319$

And adding these values we got:

$P(36 \leq X \leq 38)= 0.1535$

Part c

We can find the expected value given by:

$E(X) = np =50*0.65 = 32.5$

And the standard deviation would be:

$\sigma = \sqrt{np(1-p)} \sqrt{50*0.65*(1-0.65)}= 3.373$

We can use the approximation to the normal distribution and we have at leat 95% of the data within 2 deviations from the mean. And the lower limit for this case would be:

$\mu -2\sigma = 32.5- 2*3.373 = 25.75$

And then we can consider a value of 18 as unusual lower for this case.

How do you solve 12x =144

julia-pushkina [17]

1st. Try to make x by itself. Divide 12 on each side.
After it will look like this

x=12

Let line A be the graph of 5x + 8y = -9. Line B is perpendicular to line A and passes through the point (10,10). If line B is th

frozen [14]

Find slope of line A:
Move into slope-intercept form y = mx+b

5x + 8y = -9
8y = -5x - 9
y = (-5/8)x - 9/8

The slope of line A is -5/8.

If Line B is perpendicular to line A, then

slope Line B = negative reciprocal of slope Line A
slope Line B = 8/5

So like B has the equation

y = (8/5)x + b

If it passes through (10,10), we know that when x = 10, y = 10. Use those values to solve for b:

y = (8/5)x + b
10 = (8/5)·10 + b
10 = (8)·2 + b
10 = 16 + b
b = -6

So line B has equation 
y = (8/5)x - 6

m = 8/5 and b = -6

so

m + b = 8/5 - 6 = 8/5 - 30/5 = -22/5

So m+b = -22/5 or -4.4 in decimal form

Write the equation of the line in slope-intercept form that goes through the points: (2,4) and (7,-1)

IgorC [24]

Answer:

y= -x+8

Step-by-step explanation:

slope int. form: y=mx+b

first, we need to find the slope (m)

the two points are (2,4) and (7,-1).

to find the slope we do (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

doing this we get -5/5=-1
