(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}

A daily mail is delivered to your house between 1:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. Assume delivery times follow the continuous uniform dist
german

Answer:

25% of deliveries

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a uniform distribution with parameters a = 1.00 and b =5.00. With these conditions, the following probability distribution functions can be applied:

P(X \leq x)=\frac{x-a}{b-a}=\frac{x-1.00}{5.00-1.00}\\P(X \leq x) = \frac{x-1}{4}\\P(X \geq x) = 1- P(X \leq x) \\P(X \geq x)=1- \frac{x-1}{4}

Therefore, the probability that X ≥ 4:00 p.m. is given by

P(X \geq 4)=1- \frac{4-1}{4}\\P(X \geq 4)=0.25=25\%

Thus, 25% of deliveries are made after 4:00 p/m.

Which quantity is proportional to 35/80
Talja [164]

Answer:

35/80

u want to find a number that is proportional to 35/80, then all u need is a number that is equivalent...another words, if it is proportional, it is an equivalent fraction to 35/80.

there can be several answers to this...such as 35/80 reduces to 7/16...so 7/16 is proportional....or if u multiply numerator and denominator by the same number, u will find a proportional number...

example :

35/80 * 2/2 = 70/160...this is proportional

35/80 * 3/3 = 105/240...this is proportional

35/80 * 4/4 = 140/320...this is also proportional

and so on....

so without giving us any answer choices, there can be many numbers to choose from
