Not in order from least to greatest

The error is that the numbers are not in order from least to greatest.
To find the median of data you need to first put the numbers in order from least to greatest.

The probability that a lab specimen contains high levels of contamination is 0.10. A group of 4 independent samples are checked.

galben [10]

Answer:

a) 0.6561

b) 0.2916

c) 0.3439

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information:

Let us treat high level of contamination as our success.

p = P(High level of contamination) = P(success) = 0.10

n = 4

The, by binomial distribution:

$P(X=x) = \binom{n}{x}.p^x.(1-p)^{n-x}\\\text{where x is the number of success}$

a) P(No high level of contamination)

We put x = 0, in the formula.

$P(X=0) = \binom{4}{0}.(0.10)^0.(1-0.10)^{4} =0.6561$

Probability that no lab specimen contain high level of contamination is 0.6561

b) P(Exactly one high level of contamination)

We put x = 1, in the formula.

$P(X=1) = \binom{4}{1}.(0.10)^1.(1-0.10)^{3} =0.2916$

Probability that no lab specimen contain high level of contamination is 0.6561

c) P(At least one contains high level of contamination)

$p(x \geq 1) = 1 - p( x = 0) = 1 - 0.6561 = 0.3439$

Probability that at least 1 lab specimen contain high level of contamination is 0.3439

I need help with number 4

Tju [1.3M]

So you first want to move all variables to one side.

2x = 1/8 + 4x

So perform the opposite of each operation to move it.

2x - 4x = 1/8 + 4x - 4x

-2x = 1/8

And then just divide both sides by -2

-2x / -2 = 1/8 / -2

x = -1/16

Arrange the parabolas represented by the equations in increasing order with respect to the y-values of their directrixes.

Alexus [3.1K]

(x-h)^2=4P(y-k), vertex is (h,k)
P is distance from vertex to directix
remember to subtract P from the y value of the vertex (p-k) and that y value is the directix, y=p-k

nut
ok so one way is to just graph them on a graphing utility
remember if the graph opens up, then the directix is below that
or we can convert to 4P(y-k)=(x-h)^2 form where P is distance from directix

I will only convert the 1st one fully, you should be able to do the rest

1. y=-x^2+3x+8
multiply both sides by -1 since we don't like the x^2 term negative
-y=x^2-3x-8
add8 to both sides
-y+8=x^2-3x
take 1/2 of linear coeficient and square it and add to both sides
-3/2=-1.5
(-1.5)^2=2.25
-y+10.25=x^2-3x+2.25
factor perfect square
-y+10.25=(x-1.5)^2
force undistribute -1 in left side
(-1)(y-10.25)=something, we don't care anymore for now
factor out a 4 in -1
4(-1/4)(y-10.25)

k=10.25
p=-1/4=-0.25
directix=k-p=10.25-(-0.25)=10.5
directix is y=10.5

basically completee the square with x and find P by force factoring a 4 out

2. directix: y=-1.75

3. directix: y=1.5

4. directix: y=17.25

5. d: -37.5

6. d: 9.25

7. d=2.625

order them yourself
