(i) The probability of failing to qualify on the first two jumps and succeeding on the third is

(1 - 0.8) (1 - 0.8) 0.8 = 0.032

In other words, if X is the random variable representing the first qualifying jump, then X is geometrically distributed and the probability of qualifying for the final round on exactly the n-th jump is

P(X=n) = (1-0.8)^{n-1}\times0.8

(ii) In order to qualify for the final round, David has to succeed on at least one jump. Let Y be the random variable representing how many successful jumps are made. Then Y is binomially distributed with

P(Y = n) = \dbinom3n 0.8^n\times(1-0.8)^{3-n}

The probability of succeeding at least once is

P(Y=1) + P(Y=2) + P(Y=3) \\\\ = \dbinom310.8(1-0.8)^2 + \dbinom320.8^2(1-0.8) + \dbinom33 0.8^3 = \boxed{0.992}

Find the constant of variation for the relation and use it to write an equation for the statement. Then solve the equation.
hammer [34]

Answer: option d.

Step-by-step explanation:

If <em>y </em>varies directly as <em>x</em> and <em>z</em>, the form of the equation is:

y=kxz

Where<em> k</em> is the constant of variation.

If y=4 when x=6 and z=1 then substitute these values into the expression and solve for <em>k:</em>

4=k(6)(1)\\4=6k\\k=\frac{4}{6}\\\\k=\frac{2}{3}

<em> </em>Substitute the value of <em>k</em>  into the expression. Then, the equation is:

y=\frac{2}{3}xz

To find the value of <em>y </em>when x=7 and z=4, you must substute these values into the equation. Therefore you obtain:

y=k=\frac{2}{3}(7)(4)

y(7,4)=\frac{56}{3}
