The expected values of the binomial distribution are given as follows:
1. 214.
2. 21.
3. 31.
<h3>What is the binomial probability distribution?</h3>
It is the <u>probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, with p probability</u> of a success on each trial.
The expected value of the binomial distribution is:
E(X) = np
For item 1, the parameters are:
p = 3/7, n = 500.
Hence the expected value is:
E(X) = np = 500 x 3/7 = 1500/7 = 214.
For item 2, the parameters are:
p = 0.083, n = 250.
Hence the expected value is:
E(X) = np = 250 x 0.083 = 21.
For item 3, the parameters are:
p = 1/13, n = 400.
Hence the expected value is:
E(X) = np = 400 x 1/13 = 31.

Answer:
It will take nine years and four months for the refrigerator to pay for itself.
Step-by-step explanation:
The new refrigerator which costs $1200, saves the family 22% annually in energy cost.
Since the old refrigerator costs $580 to run, we want to determine how many years it will take for 22% of $580 per year to make $1200.
22% of $580
= 580 × 0.22
= 127.6
That is, it saved then $127.6 per year.
Now,
$1200/127.6
≈ 9.4
Which means, it will take 9 years and 4 months for the refrigerator to pay for itself.
First of all, when I do all the math on this, I get the coordinates for the max point to be (1/3, 14/27). But anyway, we need to find the derivative to see where those values fall in a table of intervals where the function is increasing or decreasing. The first derivative of the function is

. Set the derivative equal to 0 and factor to find the critical numbers.

, so x = -3 and x = 1/3. We set up a table of intervals using those critical numbers, test a value within each interval, and the resulting sign, positive or negative, tells us where the function is increasing or decreasing. From there we will look at our points to determine which fall into the "decreasing" category. Our intervals will be -∞<x<-3, -3<x<1/3, 1/3<x<∞. In the first interval test -4. f'(-4)=-13; therefore, the function is decreasing on this interval. In the second interval test 0. f'(0)=3; therefore, the function is increasing on this interval. In the third interval test 1. f'(1)=-8; therefore, the function is decreasing on this interval. In order to determine where our points in question fall, look to the x value. The ones that fall into the "decreasing" category are (2, -18), (1, -2), and (-4, -12). The point (-3, -18) is already a min value.
