Answer:

$P(X \geq 2) = 1-P(X$

And we can find the individual probabilities using the probability mass function and we got:

$P(X=0) = (30C0) (0.05)^0 (1-0.05)^{30-0} =0.2146$

$P(X=1) = (30C1) (0.05)^1 (1-0.05)^{30-1} = 0.3389$

And replacing we got:

$P(X \geq 2) = 1-P(X$

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The binomial distribution is a "DISCRETE probability distribution that summarizes the probability that a value will take one of two independent values under a given set of parameters. The assumptions for the binomial distribution are that there is only one outcome for each trial, each trial has the same probability of success, and each trial is mutually exclusive, or independent of each other".

Let X the random variable of interest, on this case we now that:

$X \sim Binom(n=30, p=0.05)$

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:

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

Solution to the problem

For this case we want this probability:

$P(X \geq 2)$

And we can use the complement rule and we got:

$P(X \geq 2) = 1-P(X$

And we can find the individual probabilities using the probability mass function and we got:

$P(X=0) = (30C0) (0.05)^0 (1-0.05)^{30-0} =0.2146$

$P(X=1) = (30C1) (0.05)^1 (1-0.05)^{30-1} = 0.3389$

And replacing we got:

$P(X \geq 2) = 1-P(X$

The age of a boy is twice that of his sister. five years ago the boy was 3 times the age of his sister. How old is the boy

joja [24]

Answer:

<h2>20 years old.</h2>

Solution,

Let the age of sister be X

Let the age of boy be 2x

Now,

Five years ago,

 $3(x - 5) = 2x - 5 \\ or \: 3x - 15 = 2x - 5 \\ or \: 3x - 2x = - 5 + 15 \\ x = 10$ 

Again,

Replacing value,

 $age \: of \: boy = 2x \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: = 2 \times 10 \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: = 20$ 

hope this helps..

Good luck on your assignment..

A tech company bought a number of computers for its employees: 66 costing \$1600$1600 each, 44 costing \$1200$1200 each, and yy

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A tech company bought a number of computers for its employees: 6 costing $1600 each, 4 costing $1200 each, and y costing $900 each, where y is a positive odd integer. what is the greatest possible value of y

Solution:

The median of a group of numbers is the middle number when the group of numbers have been arranged either in ascending of descending other. The median of an even group of numbers is the average of the two most middle most numbers while the median of an odd group of numbers is the middle number.

Since there are 6 computers costing $1600, 4 computers costing $1200 each and y computers costing $900 each. Since y is odd, hence y + 6 + 4 would be odd and the median would be the middle number.

Given that the median price = $1200, this means that the middle of the group of numbers is $1200

900, 900, ..., 1200, 1200, 1200, 1200, 1600, 1600, 1600, 1600, 1600, 1600

Since y is odd, for the median price to be $1200, y has to be 3 or 5.

If y = 3:

900, 900, 900, 1200, 1200, 1200, 1200, 1600, 1600, 1600, 1600, 1600, 1600

median = $1200

If y = 5:

900, 900, 900, 900, 900, 1200, 1200, 1200, 1200, 1600, 1600, 1600, 1600, 1600, 1600

Median = $1200

Therefore the greatest possible value of y is 5
