if this trapezoid is to scale, then the scale factor between the shortest and longest side is 1.5

so, that means that 1.5(2x+6) = 4x+2

so, your equation becomes 3x+9 = 4x+2

if you subtract 2 from each side, you get 3x+7 = 4x

meaning that x = 7

i hope this helps, and i'm sorry if it's wrong!! :)

What is the formula for the expected number of successes in a binomial experiment with n trials and probability of success p? C

charle [14.2K]

Answer:

$(D)E[ X ] =np.$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a binomial experiment with n trials and probability of success p,

$f(x)=\left(\begin{array}{c}n\\k\end{array}\right)p^x(1-p)^{n-x}, 0\leq x\leq n$

$E(X)=\sum_{x=0}^{n}xf(x)= \sum_{x=0}^{n}x\left(\begin{array}{c}n\\k\end{array}\right)p^x(1-p)^{n-x}$

Since each term of the summation is multiplied by x, the value of the term corresponding to x = 0 will be 0. Therefore the expected value becomes:

$E(X)=\sum_{x=1}^{n}x\left(\begin{array}{c}n\\x\end{array}\right)p^x(1-p)^{n-x}$

Now,

$x\left(\begin{array}{c}n\\x\end{array}\right)= \frac{xn!}{x!(n-x)!}=\frac{n!}{(x-)!(n-x)!}=\frac{n(n-1)!}{(x-1)!((n-1)-(x-1))!}=n\left(\begin{array}{c}n-1\\x-1\end{array}\right)$

Substituting,

$E(X)=\sum_{x=1}^{n}n\left(\begin{array}{c}n-1\\x-1\end{array}\right)p^x(1-p)^{n-x}$

Factoring out the n and one p from the above expression:

$E(X)=np\sum_{x=1}^{n}n\left(\begin{array}{c}n-1\\x-1\end{array}\right)p^{x-1}(1-p)^{(n-1)-(x-1)}$

Representing k=x-1 in the above gives us:

$E(X)=np\sum_{k=0}^{n}n\left(\begin{array}{c}n-1\\k\end{array}\right)p^{k}(1-p)^{(n-1)-k}$

This can then be written by the Binomial Formula as:

$E[ X ] = (np) (p +(1 - p))^{n -1 }= np.$

0.985 rounded to the nearest tenth

GarryVolchara [31]

They always try to trick you with this. Remember anything 5 or above would round up, anything 4 and under would round down. So look for the tenth place. that's the 9. The number to the right is 8 which is greater than 5. That means round up. You can't round it to 0.1 because that takes it back down. So you just move it over. The answer is 1.0.
