Let X be a discrete random variable with geometric distribution.
Let x be the number of tests and p the probability of success in each trial, then the probability distribution is:
P (X = x) = p * (1-p) ^ (x-1). With x = (1, 2, 3 ... n).
This function measures the probability P of obtaining the first success at the x attempt.
We need to know the probability of obtaining the first success at the third trial.
Where a success is defined as a customer buying online.
The probability of success in each trial is p = 0.3.
So:
P (X = 3) = 0.3 * (1-0.3) ^ (3-1)
P (X = 3) = 0.147
The probability of obtaining the first success at the third trial is 14.7%
3(X-5)=27. 3x-15=27. 3x=42. X=14. It looks like they tried to add 5 instead of multiplying it, and they added 5 and 27 wrong. :)
B) 14.
If you start with subtracting the 8 pages from 50, you get 42 remaining pages. Then it says 2/3 of the REMAINING pages so you divide 42 into thirds. 42/3=14. You want 2/3 of that, so you multiply the 14 by two to get 28 (it's like there are three piles of 14 pages and you want only 2 out of the three piles). So now you've used 28 pages + the original 8. You've used a TOTAL of 36 pages. Subtract 36 from 50 and you get 14 left.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A(x)=3x^2
B(x)=8x+3
A(x)=B(x)
3x^2=8x+3
3x^2-8x-3=0
factor
(3x+1)(x-3)=0
x-3=0
x=3
3(3^2)=8(3)+3
3(9)=24+3
27=27
Answer:
24
Step-by-step explanation: 6 divided by 1/4 is 24
