This is a problem in "binomial probability." Either the archer hits his target or he does not. This experiment is performed 5 times (so that n=5), and the probability that the archer will hit the target is 0.7 (so that p=0.7).

We need to find the binomial probability that x=3 when the possible outcomes are {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5}.

You could use a table of binomial probabilities to evaluate the following:

P(5, 0.7, 3).

Alternatively, you could use a TI-83 or TI-84 calculator and its built-in "binompdf( " function.

I evaluated binompdf(5,0.7,3) and obtained the result 0.309.

Which equation represents a line that passes through (–2, 4) and has a slope of ? y – 4 = 2/5(x + 2) y + 4 = 2/5(x – 2) y + 2 =

valentinak56 [21]

$\bf \begin{array}{lllll}
&x_1&y_1\\
% (a,b)
&({{ -2}}\quad ,&{{ 4}})
\end{array}
\\\\\\
% slope = m
slope = {{ m}}= \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies \cfrac{2}{5}
\\\\\\
% point-slope intercept
\stackrel{\textit{point-slope form}}{y-{{ y_1}}={{ m}}(x-{{ x_1}})}\implies y-4=\cfrac{2}{5}[x-(-2)]
\\\\\\
y-4=\cfrac{2}{5}(x+2)$

Why is scientific notation used?

scoray [572]

The answer is the last one; to express very large or small numbers.
We use it so we can show big or very small numbers in an easier way.

Round to the nearest hundredth

Charra [1.4K]

Hey there,
1st hat = x
2nd hat = 2x
3x = $75.12
x= $75.12 / 3
= $25.04
2x = $25.04 x 2
=$50.08
= $50.10 (round off)

Hope this helps ^_^
