(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}

Answer:

D.

b = 175; which is the initial # of pages to start

Step-by-step explanation:

you can find the slope to find b or y-intercept (x=0) for equation

y=mx+b

to find m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

(x1,y1) = (9, 100)

(x2, y2) = (15, 50)

m = (50-100) / (15-9) = -50/6 = -25/3

let use point (15, 50)

y=mx+b

50 = -25/3*x + b

50 = (-25/3)*(15) + b

50 = -125 + b

b = 175; which is the initial # of pages to start

murzikaleks [220]
\bf \cfrac{Rob}{John}\qquad 9:4\qquad \cfrac{9}{4}\qquad \cfrac{9\cdot \frac{39000}{9+4}}{4\cdot \frac{39000}{9+4}}\implies \cfrac{9\cdot 3000}{4\cdot 3000}
