Assuming that 10% is the probability of a switch being defective (since left-handedness has nothing to do with the problem):
For a binomial distribution, probability(r out of n) = (nCr) (p)^r (q)^(1-r)
p = 10% = 0.1, q = 1 - p = 0.9
r = 2 switches, n = total of 12 switches
probability = (12C2) (0.1)^2 (0.9)^(12-2)
probability = 66(0.1)^2 (0.9)^10
probability = 0.23
Answer:
x=0.2(y+2)
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Given
--- time (years)
--- amount
--- rate of interest
Required
The last 10 payments (x)
First, calculate the end of year 1 payment


Amount at end of year 1




Rewrite as:
Next, calculate the end of year 1 payment


Amount at end of year 2



Rewrite as:

We have been able to create a pattern:


So, the payment till the end of the 10th year is:


To calculate X (the last 10 payments), we make use of the following geometric series:




The amount to be paid is:
--- i.e. amount at the end of the 10th year * rate of 10 years

So, we have:





The geometric sum can be rewritten using the following formula:


In this case:



So, we have:




So, the equation becomes:

Solve for x

Answer:
20%
Step-by-step explanation:
6/30 = .2 therefore she has ran 20% or 1/5 of the race
