George Martin loves The Beatles. Honestly, who doesn’t? On George’s favorite Spotify playlist, 40% of the songs are by The Beatl

es. During a long road trip, George shuffled his playlist and listened to 30 songs. What is the probability that at least half of the songs on the trip were by The Beatles? Don’t forget to check appropriate conditions before you do your computations. Note: you can assume the playlist is infinite in length.

Answer:

17.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, see this situation as a cumulative binomial distribution. You have isolated trials with a probability of success. This makes it binomial. The wording of the question "what is the probability of at least half..." makes this cumulative.

There are a few ways to calculate this, and I'm not quite sure which way you're familiar with. I'll show the cumbersome way and use wolfram to make the calculation.

First, I'll calculate the probability for 15 success, given 30 trials.

30c15*0.4^15*0.6^15

Since the question asks for the probability of at least 15 success, I'll have to make a calculation for the probability of 16 successes, then 17, and so on. Then I'll have to add all the probabilities together. So, I'll use wolfram for that (see attached)

What is an equivalent ratio ? Real world example
arsen [322]
A ratio is used to describe how two or more quantities are related. For example, we might say that a fruit drink calls for sugar crystals to be mixed with water in a ratio of 2:6. This means that for every 2 scoops sugar crystals, there will need to be 6 ounces of water. If there were 200 scoops of sugar crystals, there would need to be 600 ounces of water.

2 lines form intersecting at a right angle a. form a line b. are parallel b. are perpendicular c. form a ray​
Nonamiya [84]
Two lines intersecting at a right angle would be perpendicular. Parallel lines do not cross or touch each other, and rats don’t form right angles. Perpendicular lines are horizontal and vertical crossing together to form a right angle.

Hope this helps!

What is the substitution of -6x-8y=-20 and x+6y=-6
ale4655 [162]

Substitution doesn't work for this, but elimination does.

-6x-8y=-20 +6( x+6y=-6)

-6x-8y=-20 + 6x+36y=-36

-6x and 6x cancel each other, add -8 and 36 to get 28, and -20 and -36 to get -56.

28y=-56

divide by 28 on both sides.

Y= -2

Then substitute y into one of the equations.

x+6(-2)=-6

x-12=-6

x=6

The ordered pair is (6,-2).
