In a television series there is exactly one crime committed in every episode. It has been observed that the probability that the

criminal is male in an episode is 0.35. What is the probability, rounded to three significant figures, that in five consecutive episodes the criminal is a male at least 3 times?

Answer:

P(x \le 3) = 0.2352

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

p = 0.35 --- male committing a crime in an episode

n = 5 -- Number of episodes

Required

Determine the probability of male committing a crime at least 3 times

This question illustrates binomial distribution and will be solved using;

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

So, the required probability is represented as:

P(x \ge 3)

And will be calculated using:

P(x \ge 3) = P(x = 3) + P(x = 4) + P(x = 5)

P(x = 3) = ^5C_3 * (0.35)^3 * (1 - 0.35)^{5-3}

P(x = 3) = ^5C_3 * (0.35)^3 * (1 - 0.35)^2

P(x = 3) = 10 * (0.35)^3 * (0.65)^2

P(x = 3) = 0.1811

P(x = 4) = ^5C_4 * (0.35)^4 * (1 - 0.35)^{5-4}

P(x = 4) = 5 * (0.35)^4 * (1 - 0.35)^1

P(x = 4) = 5 * (0.35)^4 * (0.65)

P(x = 4) = 0.0488

P(x = 5) = ^5C_5 * (0.35)^5 * (1 - 0.35)^{5-5}

P(x = 5) = 1 * (0.35)^5 * (1 - 0.35)^0

P(x = 5) = 1 * (0.35)^5 * (0.65)^0

P(x = 5) = 1 * (0.35)^5 * 1

P(x = 5) = 0.0053

So:

P(x \ge 3) = P(x = 3) + P(x = 4) + P(x = 5)

P(x \le 3) = 0.1811 + 0.0488 + 0.0053

P(x \le 3) = 0.2352

Given a line passes through point (5,8) and the origin, find the equation of the line.<br> y=
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

y = 8/5x

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm assuming that they're asking for the equation in point-slope form.

The formula is y=mx+b where:

m = slope

b = y intercept

However, the y intercept is just (0,0) so b = 0

To find the slope we already have 2 given points: (0,0) and (5,8)

To find slope you do rise/run and you get 8/5

Substitute the slope & y intercept in the formula:

y = 8/5x

Let me know if I'm wrong!!

nordsb [41]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{5x - 2}{4}+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{3y+2}{2}

Multiply the equation by 4

4*\frac{5x - 2}{4}+4*\frac{1}{2}=4*\frac{3y+2}{2}\\

5x - 2 + 2 = 2*(3y + 2)

5x +0 = 2*3y + 2*2

5x = 6y + 4

5x - 6y = 4 --------------------(I)

\frac{7y+3}{3}=\frac{x}{2}+\frac{7}{3}\\

Multiply the equation by 6

6*\frac{7y+3}{3}=6*\frac{x}{2}+6*\frac{7}{3}\\

2*(7y + 3) = 3x + 2*7

14y + 6 = 3x + 14

14y = 3x + 14 - 6

14y = 3x + 8

-3x + 14y = 8 ------------------------(II)

Multiply equation (I) by 3 and equation (II) by 5 and then add

(I)*3              15x - 18y = 12

(II)*5           <u>-15x  + 70y = 40</u>     {Now add}

                          52y = 52

                              y = 52/52

                            y = 1

Substitute y =1 in equation (I)

5x - 6*1 =  4

5x - 6 = 4

      5x = 4 +6

      5x = 10

         x = 10/5

x = 2
