If we sample from a small finite population without replacement, the binomial distribution should not be used because the event

seropon [69]

Answer:

5/4324 = 0.001156337

Step-by-step explanation:

To better understand the hyper-geometric distribution consider the following example:

There are 100 senators in the US Congress, and suppose 60 of them are republicans so 100 - 60 = 40 are democrats).

We extract a random sample of 30 senators and we want to answer this question:

What is the probability that 10 senators in the sample are republicans (and of course, 30 - 10 = 20 democrats)?

The answer using the h-g distribution is:

$\large \frac{\binom{60}{10}\binom{100-60}{30-10}}{\binom{100}{30}}=\frac{\binom{60}{10}\binom{40}{20}}{\binom{100}{30}}$

Now, imagine there are 56 senators (56 lottery numbers), 6 are republicans (6 winning numbers and 50 losers), we extract a sample of 6 senators (the bettor selects 6 numbers). What is the probability that 4 senators are republicans? (What is the probability that 4 numbers are winners?).

<em>As we see, the situation is exactly the same,</em> but changing the numbers. So the answer would be

$\large \frac{\binom{6}{4}\binom{56-6}{6-4}}{\binom{56}{6}}=\frac{\binom{6}{4}\binom{50}{2}}{\binom{56}{6}}$

Now compute each combination separately:

$\large \binom{6}{4}=\frac{6!}{4!2!}=15\\\\\binom{50}{2}=\frac{50!}{2!48!}=1225\\\\\binom{50}{6}=\frac{50!}{6!44!}=15890700$

and now replace the values:

$\large \frac{\binom{6}{4}\binom{50}{2}}{\binom{56}{6}}=\frac{15*1225}{15890700}=\frac{18375}{15890700}=\frac{5}{4324}$

and that is it.

If the decimal expression is preferred then divide the fractions to get 0.001156337

ANYONE??

RideAnS [48]

Volume of a quadrangular pyramid=(1/3)bh
b=base
h=height

b=area of the base=area of a square=8.4 ft * 8.4 ft=70.56 ft²

Pythagoras theorem:
hypotenuse²=leg₁² + leg₂²

data:
hypotenuse=9.6 ft
leg₁=height=h
leg₂=8.4 ft /2=4.2 ft

(9.6 ft)²= h² + (4.2 ft)²
92.16 ft²=h²+17.64 ft²
h²=92.16 ft²-17.64 ft²
h²=74.52 ft²
h=√(74.52 ft²)=8.63 ft.

Volume of this quadrangular pyramid=(1/3)(70.56 ft²)(8.63 ft)=202.9 ft³≈202.3 ft³

Answer: ≈202.3 ft³

Can anyone please help me with this? i need a step by step explanation please! very appreciated:)

EastWind [94]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x and y are variables. That means they represent numbers that are unknown. When we solve for x or y, we are trying to find what number the variable represents.

Y is a number that equals both 5x-9 and 3x+7. If it is a number, it can only have one value, so we can say that 5x-9 and 3x+7 have the same value.

In other words, 5x-9 = 3x+7.

Another way of thinking about this step is substitution. y=3x+7, so in the equation y=5x-9, we can replace the y with 3x+7. It will give 3x+7 = 5x-9.

In either case, we have this new equation

5x-9 = 3x+7.

From here it's just simple algebra- subtract 3x from each side

2x -9 = 7

and add 9 to each side

2x = 16

and divide each side by 2.

x = 8.

All these steps work because if two things equal each other, when you do the same thing to both of them (such as add 9), the new values will still equal each other.

Now that we know that x = 8, we can take one of the original equations

y=5x-9

and put 8 in for x.

y=5*(8) -9.

If x represents the value 8, we can obviously switch out x for 8.

Now simplify

y=40 -9

y = 31

Now we know that x = 8 and y = 31.
