Using the binomial distribution, it is found that there is a:

a) The probability that two randomly selected 3-year-old male chipmunks will live to be 4 years old is 0.93153 = 93.153%.

b) The probability that six randomly selected 3-year-old male chipmunks will live to be 4 years old is 0.80834 = 80.834%.

c) The probability that at least one of six randomly selected 3-year-old male chipmunks will not live to be 4 years old is 0.19166 = 19.166%. This probability is not unusual, as it is greater than 5%.

-----------

For each chipmunk, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they will live to be 4 years old, or they will not. The probability of a chipmunk living is independent of any other chipmunk, which means that the binomial distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution  

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

The parameters are:

  • x is the number of successes.
  • n is the number of trials.
  • p is the probability of a success on a single trial.

In this problem:

  • 0.96516 probability of a chipmunk living through the year, thus p = 0.96516

Item a:

  • Two is P(X = 2) when n = 2, thus:

P(X = 2) = C_{2,2}(0.96516)^2(1-0.96516)^{0} = 0.9315

The probability that two randomly selected 3-year-old male chipmunks will live to be 4 years old is 0.93153 = 93.153%.

Item b:

  • Six is P(X = 6) when n = 6, then:

P(X = 6) = C_{6,6}(0.96516)^6(1-0.96516)^{0} = 0.80834

The probability that six randomly selected 3-year-old male chipmunks will live to be 4 years old is 0.80834 = 80.834%.

Item c:

  • At least one not living is:

P(X < 6) = 1 - P(X = 6) = 1 - 0.80834 = 0.19166

The probability that at least one of six randomly selected 3-year-old male chipmunks will not live to be 4 years old is 0.19166 = 19.166%. This probability is not unusual, as it is greater than 5%.

Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

8 units

Step-by-step explanation:

so there is something called Pythagorean thereon and it states that a^2+b^2=c^2

and 6 is either a or b

and c is ten so

6^2+b^2=10^2

36+b^2=100

b^2=64

here you need to find the square root in order to delete the power so

\sqrt{b} =\sqrt{64\\\\

b=8

or

x=8

When 5x2+2=4x is solved using the quadratic formula, what are the values of a,b, and c?
viktelen [127]

Hey there,

<u>What </u><u>are </u><u>the </u><u>values </u><u>of </u><u>a,</u><u> </u><u>b </u><u>and </u><u>c?</u>

5x² + 2 = 4x

5x² + 2 - 4x = 4x - 4x

5x² - 4x+ 2 = 0

<em>Quadratic </em><em>général </em><em>e</em><em>quation</em><em>:</em>

ax² + bx + c = 0

  • a = 5
  • b = -4
  • c = 2

I hope this helps ✅(◠‿◕)
