Answer:

0.22514

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

1 answer from 4 options

p = 1/4 = 0.25 ; q = 1 - 0.25 = 0.75

n = 20

P(x ≤ 3) = p(x =0) +p(x=1) + p(x=2) +p(x=3)

P(x = x) = nCr * p^x * q^(n-r)

p(x =0) = 20C0 * 0.25^0 * 0.75^20 = 0.00317

p(x =1) = 20C1 * 0.25^1 * 0.75^19 = 0.02114

p(x =2) = 20C2 * 0.25^2 * 0.75^18 = 0.06694

p(x =3) = 20C3 * 0.25^3 * 0.75^17 = 0.13389

P(x ≤ 3) = 0.00317+0.02114+0.06694+0.13389 = 0.22514

13. For what value of b would the following system of equations have an infinite number of solutions?
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

b=2

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

9x+12y=21 -----> equation A

6x+8y=7b ----> equation B

we know that

If the system of equations have an infinite number of solutions then the equation A must be equal to the equation B

Multiply equation B by 1.5 both sides

1.5*[6x+8y[=7b*1.5

9x+12y=10.5b ----> equation C

Compare equation A and equation C

9x+12y=21 -----> equation A

9x+12y=10.5b ----> equation C

For the equations to be equal it must be fulfilled that

21=10.5b

solve for b

b=21/10.5

b=2
