Complete question is;

A new surgery is successful 85% of the time. If the results of 7 such surgeries are randomly sampled, what is the probability that more than 4 of them are successful?

Carry your intermediate computations to at least four decimal places, and round your answer to at least two decimal places

Answer:

P(X > 4) = 0.93

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a binomial probability distribution problem with the formula;

P(X = x) = C(n, x) × p^(x) × (1 - p)^(n - x)

We are told that a new surgery is successful 85% of the time. Thus;

p = 85% = 0.85

n = 7

probability that more than 4 of them are successful would be;

P(X > 4) = P(5) + P(6) + P(7)

P(5) = C(7,5) × 0.85^(5) × (1 - 0.85)^(7 - 5)

P(5) = 0.2097

P(6) = C(7,6) × 0.85^(6) × (1 - 0.85)^(7 - 6)

P(6) = 0.3960

P(7) = C(7,7) × 0.85^(7) × (1 - 0.85)^(7 - 7)

P(5) = 0.3206

P(X > 4) = 0.2097 + 0.3960 + 0.3206

P(X > 4) = 0.9263 ≈ 0.93

4x+5y=20 write this equation in slope intercept form
BartSMP [9]
4x+5y=20 in slop intercept form would be y= (-4/5)x + 4. 

Slope intercept form is y=mx+b. So you would first subtract 4x from both sides. This ends up being 5y= -4x +20. Then divide both sides by 5. This gets you y= (-4/5)x +4.

Find the distance from the line passing through points P(0,0,0) and Q(9,0,0) to the line passing through points R(3,-2,4) and S(
Alika [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the I line be PQ and II line be RS

Direction ratios  of PQ = (9,0,0) and direction ratios of RS = (0, -4, -12)

Distance between skew lines

=(a1-a2).(b1xb2)/|b1xb2|

where a1 and a2 are points

Here a1-a2 = (-3,2,-4) taking P and Q as points.

b1 = (9,0,0) and b2 = (0,-4,-12)

Shortest Distance = (a2-a1).(b1xb2)/|b1xb2|

De\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-3&2&-4\\9&0&0\\0&-4&-12\end{array}\right]

Numerator = -9(-24-16)=360

Denominator vector = i(0)-j(-108)+k(-36)

Modulus  of vector =\sqrt{108^2+36^2} =36\sqrt{10}

Hence Shortest distance = \sqrt{10}

How do you differentiate y = 3x3 - 2x-4
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

y' = 9x^2 + 8x^-5

Step-by-step explanation:

General Principle

y' = ax^b

y' = a*b * x^(b-1)

Solution

3x^3 = 3*3x^(3-1)

3x^3 = 9x^2

-2x^-4  = -2*-4 x ^(-4 - 1)

-2x^-4 = 8 x ^-5

Answer

y' = 9x^2 + 8x^-5
