Answer:

x = 29 / (8c)

Step-by-step explanation:

(2/3)(cx + 1/2) - 1/4 = 5/2
(2/3)cx + 1/3 - 1/4 = 5/2
(2/3)cx + 1/12 = 5/2 Multiply all terms by 12
8cx + 1 = 30
8cx = 29
x = 29 / (8c)

Alexandra [31]

Answer:

h = -5*t +800

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial value is 800 ft

She is falling at a rate of 5 ft per second

That would be -5ft/s

We can write this in the form

y = mx+b

h = -5*t +800 where t is the number of seconds and h is the height above ground

Answer:

$P(X \geq 5)=1-P(X$

We can find the individual probabilities:

$P(X=0)=(19C0)(0.3)^0 (1-0.3)^{19-0}=0.00114$

$P(X=1)=(19C1)(0.3)^1 (1-0.3)^{19-1}=0.0092$

$P(X=2)=(19C2)(0.3)^2 (1-0.3)^{19-2}=0.0358$

$P(X=3)=(19C3)(0.3)^3 (1-0.3)^{19-3}=0.0869$

$P(X=4)=(19C4)(0.3)^4 (1-0.3)^{19-4}=0.1491$

And replacing we got:

$P(X \geq 5) = 1-[0.00114+0.009282+0.0358+0.0869+0.149]= 0.7178$

Step-by-step explanation:

The binomial distribution is a "DISCRETE probability distribution that summarizes the probability that a value will take one of two independent values under a given set of parameters. The assumptions for the binomial distribution are that there is only one outcome for each trial, each trial has the same probability of success, and each trial is mutually exclusive, or independent of each other".
