Answer:

0.3164 = 31.64% probability the team wins all its conference games

Step-by-step explanation:

For each conference game, there are only two possible outcomes. Either the team wins it, or they lose. The probability of winning a game is independent of any other game. This means that the binomial probability distribution is used 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.

A football team has a probability of .75 of winning when playing any of the other four teams in its conference.

The probability means that p = 0.75, and four games means that n = 4

If the games are independent, what is the probability the team wins all its conference games?

This is P(X = 4). So

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

P(X = 4) = C_{4,4}.(0.75)^{4}.(0.25)^{0} = 0.3164

0.3164 = 31.64% probability the team wins all its conference games

PLEASE HELP!!!!!<br> Combine the like terms to create an equivalent expression. 8k+5k
horsena [70]

Answer:

13k

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: 8k+5k

Finding the equivalent expression.

We know the rule of addition is that adding two positive integers will give positive result or sum.

Now, lets find the equivalent expression of 8k+5k.

∴ 8k+5k= 13k

Hence, the required equivalent expression is 13k.

The weather report says the temperature is 20°c and will drop 5°c per hour for the next 6 hours. Daryl plans to be gone at least
lubasha [3.4K]

The inequality equation will be -5x + 20 < -10.

<h3>What is inequality?</h3>

Inequality is defined as an equation that does not contain an equal sign.

The weather report says the temperature is 20°c and will drop 5°c per hour for the next 6 hours.

Daryl plans to be gone at least 6 hours, and he has a plant outside.

If he wants the plant to remain in temperatures above -10° should Daryl move the plant to a warmer location before leaving will be

The inequality equation will be

-5x + 20 < -10

where x is the number of hours.

Then we have

-10 < -5x + 20

5x > 30

   x > 6 hours
