Answer: i)For X = (0,1) then P(x) = (1/3, 2/3)
ii) Then p=(2/3) as n=8
iii) 0.06828
Step-by-step explanation:
Use binomial distribution:
Probability of being yellow (by having 1 recessive allele) is 2/3. This is a binomial distribution with p=2/3. And since there are 8 selections, our n is 8. So p=(2/3), n=8.
Recall that in binomial distribution P(X=x) = C(n,x) × p^x × (1-p)^n-x.
So for 3 out of 8, it means x=3 and n=8.
Our equation becomes P(exactly three Snapdragon are yellow) = P(X=3) = (8C3) × (2/3)³ × (1/3)5 = 0.06828
Here you have 2 linear equations and are to solve this system. Both equations have already been solved for y, so you can set one of them = to the other one:
-2x+11 = -3x+21.
Then 3x-2x = 21 - 11, or x = 10 (answer)
Find y by subst. x = 10 into either of the given equations.
Solution is then (10, ? )

This question involves multiple steps. Let's first try to figure the number of children on the cruise.
The ratio of girls to the total number of children was 2:5. There are 198 boys.
This information tells me that for every 5 children, there's 2 girls and 3 boys.
Based off of this information, we can divide the total number of boys by 3 in order to find the number of children.
198÷3=66
Let's multiply 66 by 5 since that's the number of groupings based off the ratio.
66×5=330
Let's check the number of children. Since the ratio of girls to total children is 2:5 and we already confirmed there's 198 boys, there should be 132 girls. We can turn this ratio into a fraction where 2/5 of the children are girls. we can confirm this by multiply 330 by 2/5 (0.4) and getting 132.
There are 330 children on the cruise.
The ratio of the number of adults to the number of children was 13:6.
For every 6 children, there were 13 adults. Let's divide the number of children by 6 in order to find the number of groupings.
330÷6=55
Let's now multiply the groupings by 13 to find the number of adults.
55×13=715
So there should be 715 adults and 330 children on the cruise.
715+330=1,045
Answer:
19
----- = x
40-3a
Step-by-step explanation:
3(ax + 9) = -4 (-2 - 10x)
Distribute
3ax +27 = 8+40x
Subtract 3ax from each side
3ax-3ax +27 = 8+40x-3ax
27 = = 8+40x-3ax
Subtract 8 from each side
27-8 = 8-8+40x-3ax
19 = 40x-3ax
Factor an x on the right side
19 = x(40-3a)
Divide each side by 40-3a
19/(40-3a) = x(40-3a)/(40-3a)
19
----- = x
40-3a
Assume that the rule connecting height of the candle to time is a linear one. If you do, then we have to find the equation of this line, and then use this equation to predict the height of the candle after 11 hours.
Two points on this line are (6,17.4) and (23, 7.2). The slope is thus
7.2-17.4 -6
m = --------------- = ----------- or -3/5.
23-6 10
Find the equation of the line. I'm going to use the slope-intercept formula:
y = mx + b => 7.2 = (-3/5)(23) + b. Solving for b, b = 21.
Now we know that y = (-3/5)x + 21
Let x=11 to predict the height of the candle at that time.
y = (-3/5)(11) + 21 = 14.4 inches (answer)
