Part A
Use the binomial probability distribution formula.
p = 0.54 = probability of getting a purple marble
n = 5 = sample size
x = 2 = number of purple we want to get

The
portion is from the nCr combination formula. The exclamation marks indicate a factorial.
Alternatively, you could use Pascal's Triangle for that portion.
<h3>Answer: 0.283831776</h3>
This decimal value is exact. Round it however you need to.
============================================================
Part B
To find the expected value, aka the mean, we multiply the sample size and probability of getting a purple marble on any single selection.
n*p = 5*0.54 = 2.7
<h3>Answer: 2.7</h3>
Answer:
See below
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Part A</u>
A vertical stretch takes place when
given that 
<u>Part B</u>
A vertical compression takes place when
given that 
<u>Part C</u>
A vertical stretch is different than a horizontal compression:
- In a vertical stretch, the input stays the same, but the output is multiplied by the scale factor
- In a horizontal compression, the output stays the same, but the input is multiplied by the scale factor
<u>Part D</u>
A reflection across the x-axis means that the output, our y-variable, is the opposite sign. This means that all values of
must be negative such that
as mentioned in parts A and B. Also, in part C, since our scale factor is negative, the output is the only one being multiplied by the scale factor.
