Answer:
a) P(X≥6) = 0.9614
b) P(7≤ X ≤9) = 0.628
c) P(X≤5) = 0.0386
Step-by-step explanation:
This can be solved using the binomial distribution formula:
P(X=x) = ⁿCₓ pˣ qⁿ⁻ˣ
Where p = probability of success
q = probability of failure = 1-p
n = number of trials
x = number of successful trials
We have p = 70% = 0.7
n = 12
a) Find the probability that the number who disapprove of smoking pot daily is no less than 6 i.e. P(X≥6). This can be calculated as:
P(X≥6) = 1 - P(X<6)
= 1 - [P(X=0) + P(X=1) + P(X=2) + P(X=3) + P(X=4) + P(X=5)]
= 1 - [¹²C₀ (0.7)⁰(0.3)¹² + ¹²C₁ (0.7)¹(0.3)¹¹ + ¹²C₂ (0.7)²(0.3)¹⁰ + ¹²C₃ (0.7)³(0.3)⁹ + ¹²C₄ (0.7)⁴(0.3)⁸ + ¹²C₅ (0.7)⁵(0.3)⁷]
= 1 - (0.000000531 + 0.0000148 + 0.0001909 + 0.00148 + 0.00779 + 0.02911)
= 1 - 0.0386
P(X≥6) = 0.9614
b) P(7≤ X ≤9) = P(X=7) + P(X=8) + P(X=9)
= ¹²C₇ (0.7)⁷(0.3)¹²⁻⁷ + ¹²C₈ (0.7)⁸(0.3)¹²⁻⁸ + ¹²C₉ (0.7)⁹(0.3)¹²⁻⁹
= 0.158 + 0.231 + 0.239
P(7≤ X ≤9) = 0.628
c) P(X≤5) = P(X=0) + P(X=1) + P(X=2) + P(X=3) + P(X=4) + P(X=5)
= ¹²C₀ (0.7)⁰(0.3)¹² + ¹²C₁ (0.7)¹(0.3)¹¹ + ¹²C₂ (0.7)²(0.3)¹⁰ + ¹²C₃ (0.7)³(0.3)⁹ + ¹²C₄ (0.7)⁴(0.3)⁸ + ¹²C₅ (0.7)⁵(0.3)⁷
P(X≤5) = 0.0386
To get the percentage of how much Nick owns, we have to divide the part (500) by the whole (100,000) then multiply the product by 100.
500 / 100,000 = 0.005
0.005 × 100 = .5%
Nick is entitled to $2,500,000 × .5% = $12,500
Answer:
1
Step-by-step explanation:
I graphed and got the answer.
The slope intercept form is
y = Mx + b
x and y are the coordinates, and m is the slope. If you don’t have b, you can plug in the other numbers you do have.
EXAMPLE:
A line has a slope of -3 and a coordinate of (1, 6). What is the y-intercept (b)?
y = Mx + b
6 = -3(1) + b
6 = -3 + b
9 = b
Letter C is true. Hope this helped!
