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

5/6 – 6/12<br><br>I am lost bc I'm not a math person so pls help me?
vovangra [49]

First, we must find the common denominator (12)            ✵

10/12-6/12            ✵                 ✵                              ✵                              ✵

Now, why 10?                                     ✵                   ✵                      ✵

Because we CAN'T just take the denominator and change it; we must change both the denominator AND the numerator:

✵                                      •          -                                      ○          

4/12                  ✧                             ✩                                  ✶            ✺         ✱  

We can simplify, or reduce, this fraction:                  ✱  ✱

1/3              ✩                              ✦                                        ✤

I hope it helps!
