x ,y are the numbers

x = 5y-3

x+y = 27

substitute first equation into the second

(5y-3) +y =27

combine like terms

6y-3=27

add 3 to each side

6y=30

divide by 6

y=5

x = 5y-3

x=5*5-3

x=22

the two numbers are 22 and 5

Find the indicated probability.

natka813 [3]

Answer:

C) 0.179

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the trials are independent, this is a binomial distribution:

<u>Recall:</u>

Binomial Distribution --> $P(k)={n\choose k}p^kq^{n-k}$
$P(k)$ denotes the probability of $k$ successes in $n$ independent trials
$p^k$ denotes the probability of success on each of $k$ trials
$q^{n-k}$ denotes the probability of failure on the remaining $n-k$ trials
${n\choose k}=\frac{n!}{(n-k)!k!}$ denotes all possible ways to choose $k$ things out of $n$ things

<u>Given:</u>

$n=10$
$k=4$
$p^k=0.53^4$
$q^{n-k}=(1-0.53)^{10-4}=0.47^6$
${n\choose k}={10\choose 4}=\frac{10!}{(10-4)!4!}=210$

<u>Calculate:</u>

$P(4)=(210)(0.53^4)(0.47^6)=0.1786117069\approx0.179$

Therefore, the probability that the archer will get exactly 4 bull's-eyes with 10 arrows in any order is 0.179
