Answer:

0.053

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a geometric distribution problem.

I'm geometric distribution problem,

E(X) = 1/p

Where;

E(X) is expected value and p is probability of success

Thus;

1/p = 12.5

p = 1/12.5

p = 0.08

Now, to find the probability that the sixth person tested is the first one with high blood pressure, we will use the probability formula in geometric distribution which is;

P(X = k) = qⁿ•p

q = 1 - p

q = 1 - 0.08

q = 0.92

Thus;probability that the sixth person tested is the first one with high blood pressure will be expressed as;

P(X > 5) = (0.92^(5)) × 0.08

P(X > 5) = 0.053

What is the value of 1 over 2 x+3.4y when x=3 and y = 4?​
gavmur [86]

Answer:

The value of the given expression is 27.1

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given an expression of two variable x and y.

We need to find the value of expression at x = 3 and y = 4

So first put x = 3 and y = 4 into expression and simplify

1/2 x 3 (3) + 3.4 x 4

➡️ 1/2 x 27 + 13.6

➡️ 27/2 + 13.6

➡️ 13.5 + 13.6

Now, add both of the numbers together. ( as an addition problem)

Therefore, when you ad the 2 together, you get the total of 27.1
