Answer:
Initial Amount=1
Decay Factor=0.99987
Decay Rate=0.013%
Step-by-step explanation:
If P = 0.99987ᵃ
I. Initial amount
The initial amount is when a=0
P = 0.99987⁰ = 1
The Pressure at Sea Level=1
II. Decay factor
This is like the decay constant. From the model, P = 0.99987ᵃ, the decay constant/factor is 0.99987.
III. Decay Rate = 1-0.99987 = 0.00013
Expressed in Percentage = 0.013%
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Many calculators use "E" to signify "×10^( )". Thus ...
... 1.3E-2 = 1.3×10^(-2)
This number in scientific notation is equivalent to the standard form number ...
... 1.3×0.01 = 0.013
Answer:
P (X ≤ 4)
Step-by-step explanation:
The binomial probability formula can be used to find the probability of a binomial experiment for a specific number of successes. It <em>does not</em> find the probability for a <em>range</em> of successes, as in this case.
The <em>range</em> "x≤4" means x = 0 <em>or</em> x = 1 <em>or </em>x = 2 <em>or</em> x = 3 <em>or</em> x = 4, so there are five different probability calculations to do.
To to find the total probability, we use the addition rule that states that the probabilities of different events can be added to find the probability for the entire set of events only if the events are <em>Mutually Exclusive</em>. The outcomes of a binomial experiment are mutually exclusive for any value of x between zero and n, as long as n and p don't change, so we're allowed to add the five calculated probabilities together to find the total probability.
The probability that x ≤ 4 can be written as P (X ≤ 4) or as P (X = 0 or X = 1 or X = 2 or X = 3 or X = 4) which means (because of the addition rule) that P(x ≤ 4) = P(x = 0) + P(x = 1) + P (x = 2) + P (x = 3) + P (x = 4)
Therefore, the probability of x<4 successes is P (X ≤ 4)
