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

Daniel guesses that he scored a 95 on his science test.His actual score is 91. What is the percent error in Daniel's guess? Roun
Kamila [148]
1) Formula for the percent of error:

                               [estimated measure - real measure]
Percent of error = ---------------------------------------------------- x 100
                                            real measure

2) Calculations:

                             [95 - 91]
Percent error =  --------------- x 100 = 4.4 %
                                 91

Answer: 4.4%

What is the quotient StartFraction 15 p Superscript negative 4 Baseline q Superscript negative 6 Baseline Over negative 20 p Sup
Kitty [74]

Answer:

-\frac{3p^8}{4q^3}

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{15p^{-4}q^{-6}}{-20p^{-12}q^{-3}}  can be broken down into three fractions, coefficients, powers of p, powers of q.

-\frac{15}{20}\cdot\frac{p^{-4}}{p^{-12}}\cdot\frac{q^{-6}}{q^{-3}}

Simplify the first fraction, then simplify the others by subtracting numerator exponents minus denominator exponents.

-\frac{3}{4} p^{-4-(-12)} q^{-6-(-3)} =-\frac{3}{4} p^8 q^{-3} = \alpha -\frac{3p^8}{4q^3}
