The U.S. government has devoted considerable funding to missile defense research over the past 20 years. The latest development

is the Space-Based Infrared System (SBIRS), which uses satellite imagery to detect and track missiles (Chance, Summer 2005). The probability that an intruding object (e.g. a missile) will be detected on a ight track by SBIRS is 0.8. consider a sample of 20 simulated tracks, each with an intruding object. Let x equal the number of these tracks where SBIRS detects the object.
Required:
a. Demonstrate that x is (approximately) a binomial random variable.
b. Give the values of p and n for the binomial distribution.
c. Find P(x = 15), the probability that SBIRS will detect the object on exactly 15 tracks.
d. Find P(x≥15) the probability that SBIRS will detect the object on at least 15 tracks.
e. Find E(x) and interpret the result.

Answer:

Part A:

P(X=x)=n_{C_{x}}*p^x*(1-p)^{n-x}

x is a binomial Random Variable.

Part B:

Value of p=0.8

Value of n=20

Part C:

P(X=15)=0.17456

Part D:

P(X≥15)=0.80417

Part E:

E(x)=16

E(x) tells us that out of 20 tracks the SBIRS will detect from 16 tracks.

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A:

Binomial Distribution is used because the number of tracks and the probability to find the intruding object is constant for all tracks

It means:

P(X=x)=n_{C_{x}}*p^x*(1-p)^{n-x}

x is a binomial Random Variable.

Part B:

Value of p=0.8

Value of n=20

Part C:

x=15

P(X=15)=20_{C_{15}}*0.8^{15}*(1-0.8)^{20-15}\\

By solving above Expression:

P(X=15)=0.17456

Part D:

P(X≥15)=P(X=15)+P(X=17)+P(X=16)+P(X=18)+P(X=19)+P(X=20)

P(X=15)=20_{C_{15}}*0.8^{15}*(1-0.8)^{20-15}\\

P(X=15)=0.17456

P(X=16)=20_{C_{16}}*0.8^{16}*(1-0.8)^{20-16}\\P(X=16)=0.21819

P(X=17)=20_{C_{17}}*0.8^{17}*(1-0.8)^{20-17}\\P(X=17)=0.20536

P(X=18)=20_{C_{18}}*0.8^{18}*(1-0.8)^{20-18}\\P(X=18)=0.13691\\\\P(X=19)=20_{C_{19}}*0.8^{19}*(1-0.8)^{20-19}\\P(X=19)=0.05765\\\\P(X=20)=20_{C_{20}}*0.8^{20}*(1-0.8)^{20-20}\\P(X=20)=0.01153

Now, Adding Probabilities:

P(X=15)+P(X=17)+P(X=16)+P(X=18)+P(X=19)+P(X=20)\\=0.17456+0.21819+0.20536+0.13691+0.05765+0.01153\\

P(X≥15)=0.80417

Part E:

Mean Distribution:

E(x)=n*p

E(x)=20*0.8

E(x)=16

E(x) tells us that out of 20 tracks the SBIRS will detect from 16 tracks.

Martene got a small aquarium for her birthday. The aquarium is a right rectangular prism 18.5\,\text{cm}18.5cm18, point, 5, spac
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

14 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that an aquarium is a right rectangular prism 18.5 cm long and 15 cm wide. We are also told that Martene put 3885 cubic cm of water in the aquarium.

To find the depth or height of aquarium, we will use volume of rectangular prism formula.

\text{Volume of rectangular prism}=l*w*h, where,

l = Length of prism,

w = Width of prism,

h = Height of prism.

Upon substituting our given values in above formula we will get,

3885\text{ cm}^3=18.5\text{ cm}\times 15\text{ cm}\times h

3885\text{ cm}^3=277.5\text{ cm}^2\times h

\frac{3885\text{ cm}^3}{277.5\text{ cm}^2}=\frac{277.5\text{ cm}^2\times h}{277.5\text{ cm}^2}

14\text{ cm}=h

Therefore, the aquarium is 14 cm deep.

Andy Dixon bought 3 paintbrushes for $1.75 each and 7 tubes of oil paint for $2.49 each.how much did he spend in all?
AnnZ [28]
The answer would be $22.68!

If Andy bought 3 paintbrushes for $1.75 each, then we just multiply how much they cost by the number that the bought.

1.75 x 3 = 5.25

If Andy bought 7 tubes of oil paint, we just do the same thing we did in the first step! Multiply how much they cost by the number that the bought.

2.49 x 7 =
