Answer:

10x-15y

Step-by-step explanation:

So, when they say use the distrubutive property, they basically mean turning this:

a(b+c)

Into this:

ab+ac

So in this case, it would be:

5(2x-3y)

And we will turn it into:

10x-15y

ANother way to think about it is we are multiplying 2x by 5, and -3y by 5. So:

2x*5

10x

And

-3y*5

-15y

Then we can combine these two:

10x-15y

Hope this helps!

Assume the random variable X has a binomial distribution with the given probability of obtaining a success. Find the following p

drek231 [11]

Answer:

$P(X=14)=(18C14)(0.8)^{14} (1-0.8)^{18-14}=0.2153$

$P(X=15)=(18C15)(0.8)^{15} (1-0.8)^{18-15}=0.2297$

$P(X=16)=(18C16)(0.8)^{16} (1-0.8)^{18-16}=0.1722$

$P(X=17)=(18C17)(0.8)^{17} (1-0.8)^{18-17}=0.0811$

$P(X=18)=(18C18)(0.8)^{18} (1-0.8)^{18-18}=0.0180$

And adding the values we got:

$P(X \geq 14)= 0.2153 +0.2297+0.1722+0.0811+0.0180=0.7164$

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming this question: P(X≥14), n=18, p=0.8

Previous concepts

The binomial distribution is a "DISCRETE probability distribution that summarizes the probability that a value will take one of two independent values under a given set of parameters. The assumptions for the binomial distribution are that there is only one outcome for each trial, each trial has the same probability of success, and each trial is mutually exclusive, or independent of each other".

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable of interest, on this case we now that:

$X \sim Binom(n=18, p=0.8)$
