Suppose a three-seat city council election. For each seat, one progressive and one conservative is running, and voters must choo

Kitty [74]

Answer:

The probability that conservative party wins all 3 seats is 0.216

The probability that conservative party wins exactly two seats is 0.432

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

The probability of a conservative candidate winning is p=0.6.

The probability of one progressive candidate will win is: 1-0.6=0.4

Part (a) What is the probability that the conservative party wins all three seats?

According to binomial distribution: $b(x; n, p) =^nC_xp^x(1- p)^{n-x}$

$P(x=3) =^3C_3(0.6)^3 (0.4)^{3-3}$

$P(x=3) =(0.6)^3$

$P(x=3)=0.216$

P(conservative party wins all 3 seats) = 0.216

Hence, the probability that conservative party wins all 3 seats is 0.216

Part (a) What is the probability that the conservative party wins exactly two seats?

$P(x=2) =^3C_2(0.6)^2 (0.4)^{3-2}$

$P(x=2) =3(0.36)(0.4)$

$P(x=2) =0.432$

Hence, the probability that conservative party wins exactly two seats is 0.432

Samir is an expert marksman. When he takes aim at a particular target on the shooting range, there is a 0.950.950, point, 95 pro

Vinvika [58]

Answer:

40.1% probability that he will miss at least one of them

Step-by-step explanation:

For each target, there are only two possible outcomes. Either he hits it, or he does not. The probability of hitting a target is independent of other targets. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

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

And p is the probability of X happening.

0.95 probaiblity of hitting a target

This means that $p = 0.95$

10 targets

This means that $n = 10$

What is the probability that he will miss at least one of them?

Either he hits all the targets, or he misses at least one of them. The sum of the probabilities of these events is decimal 1. So

$P(X = 10) + P(X < 10) = 1$

We want P(X < 10). So

$P(X < 10) = 1 - P(X = 10)$

In which

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 10) = C_{10,10}.(0.95)^{10}.(0.05)^{0} = 0.5987$

$P(X < 10) = 1 - P(X = 10) = 1 - 0.5987 = 0.401$

40.1% probability that he will miss at least one of them

What is the answer to ax + 7 = 8x + b<br> when x=9

xxTIMURxx [149]

Hey there!

ax + 7 = 8x + b

when x=9, so:

a(9) +7= 8(9) +b

9a +7= 72+b

I hope this helps?

There are eight members of a jazz club who are listed below. A concert director can choose some or all of them to be part of a l

bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

40320 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Members = 8

Required

Number of ways they can be selected

Since, the order does not matter;

They can be selected in 8! ways

$8! = 8 * 7 * 6 * 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1$

$8! = 40320\ ways$

<em>Hence, there are 40320 ways which the director can select them for the concert</em>
