Answer:

P(at least 4)  = 0.74431

Step-by-step explanation:

Here

Probability of the flights on time is = 70% = 70/100= 0.7

q= 0.3

n= 6

As the probability of success and failure is constant and the n is also fixed then the binomail probability distribution can be used to solve this.

P (x= 4) = 6c4 *(0.7)^4 (0.3)^2= 15*0.2401* 0.09= 0.324135

P (x= 5) = 6c5 *(0.7)^5(0.3)^1= 6*0.16807* 0.3=0.302526

P (x= 6) = 6c6 *(0.7)^6 (0.3)^0= 0.117649P

P (x= 0) = 6c0 *(0.7)^0 (0.3)^6= 0.000729

P (x= 1) = 6c1 *(0.7)^1 (0.3)^5=0.010206

P (x= 2) = 6c 2*(0.7)^2 (0.3)^4=0.059535

P (x= 3) = 6c3 *(0.7)^3 (0.3)^3=0.18522

Probability of at least 4 means that probability of greater than 4 inclusive of 4.

This can be obtained in two ways.

First is by subtracting the probabilities of less than 4.

Second is by adding probabilities greater than 4 including 4.

We get the same answer with any of the two methods used.

P(at least 4) = 1- P(x<4)

                     = 1- [ 0.000729+ 0.010206 +0.059535+ 0.18522]

                     = 1- 0.25569

                       = 0.74431

P (at least 4) = P(x=4) +P(X=5) + P(x=6)

                        =0.324135+ 0.302526+ 0.117649

                        =0.74431

Have I been solving these equations correctly?

2(-3)² => 2(-3)(-3) => 2*9 = > 18


27+18-11 => 27 + 7 = > 34.


16)


\bf p(x)=\cfrac{x^2-4}{2x+1}\implies p(-8)=\cfrac{(-8)^2-4}{2(-8)+1}\implies p(-8)=\cfrac{64-4}{-16+1} \\\\\\ p(-8)=\cfrac{60}{-15}\implies p(-8)=-4


17)


\bf h(x)=3\cdot 9^x\implies h(-2)=3\cdot 9^{-2}\implies h(-2)=3\cdot \cfrac{1}{9^2} \\\\\\ h(-2)=\cfrac{3}{9^2}\implies h(-2)=\cfrac{3}{81}\implies h(-2)=\cfrac{1}{27}

What is the probability of flipping two coins and both landing on heads
prisoha [69]

Answer:

The probability of getting heads on the toss of a coin is 0.5. If we consider all possible outcomes of the toss of two coins as shown, there is only one outcome of the four in which both coins have come up heads, so the probability of getting heads on both coins is 0.25. The second useful rule is the Sum Rule.
