Answer:
The probability that exactly 19 of them are strikes is 0.1504
Step-by-step explanation:
The binomial probability parameters given are;
The probability that the pitcher throwing a strike, p = 0.675
The probability that the pitcher throwing a ball. q = 0.325
The binomial probability is given as follows;
Where:
x = Required probability
Therefore, the probability that the pitcher throws 19 strikes out of 29 pitches is found as follows;
The probability that exactly 19 of them are strikes is given as follows;
Hence the probability that exactly 19 of them are strikes = 0.1504
Answer: 0.5
Step-by-step explanation: In this problem, we're asked to solve the following equation for <em>p. </em>Let's first switch 14 and 14p around so we have 14p + 14 = 21.
<em />
To solve this equation for <em>p</em>, we must first isolate the term containing <em>p</em> which in this case is 14p.
Since 14 is being added to 14p, we need to subtract 14 from both sides of the equation.
14p + 14 = 21
-14 -14
On the left side of the equation, the positive 14 and negative 14 cancel each other out and we have 14p. On the right side of the equation, we hav 21 - 14 which gives us 7.
Now we have the equation 14p = 7.
Since <em>p</em> is being multiplied by 14, to get <em>p</em> by itself, we divide both sides of the equation by 14.
On the left side of the equation the 14's cancel and we are left with <em>p</em>. On the right side of the equation, 7 divided by 14 is 0.5 which is our answer.
Therefore, p = 0.5 which is the solution for our equation.
Remember, you can always check your solution by substituting a number in for a variable to make sure the equation is true.
