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

Write an equation of a line that passes through (-12, -14) with slope 6.
damaskus [11]

The slope intercept form of a line is y = mx + b

  • m = slope
  • b = y-intercept

Plug in the slope, 6, into m.

Rewrite the equation;

  • y = 6x + b
  • We need to find b, your y-intercept, to finish this equation.

Plug in your point coordinate, (x, y) ⇒ (-12, -14) into the equation.

  • -14 = 6(-12) + b

Solve for b to find the y-intercept.

  • -14 = -72 + b
  • 58 = b

Your new equation (your answer) is<em> </em>y = 6x + 58.

kiruha [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Believe it or not, the two areas are the same.

The base of the rectangle is PQ

The height of the rectangle is PS

Now look at the parallelogram.

The base is PQ

The height is PS

The area has to be the same in both cases. There is no other way to interpret what is happening.

Find the coordinates of the point <br> 3/10 of the way from A to B.
meriva
The horizontal distance from A to the point = 3/10 * 14 = 4.2, so the c coordinate of the point is -3+ 4.2
= 1.2.
Vertical distance = 3/10 * 12 = 3.6
So the y coordinate = -5+ 3.6
= -1.4.
Answer is (1.2, -1.4)
