You are at a stall at a fair where you have to throw a ball at a target. There are two versions of the game. In the first

Tomtit [17]

Answer:

$P(X=0)=(3C0)(0.1)^0 (1-0.1)^{3-0}=0.729$

And the probability of loss with the first wersion is 0.729

$P(Y=0)=(5C0)(0.05)^0 (1-0.05)^{5-0}=0.774$

And the probability of loss with the first wersion is 0.774

As we can see the best alternative is the first version since the probability of loss is lower than the probability of loss on version 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

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".

Solution to the problem

Alternative 1

Let X the random variable of interest, on this case we now that:

$X \sim Binom(n=3, p=0.1)$

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:

$P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}$

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:

$nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}$

We can find the probability of loss like this P(X=0) and if we find this probability we got this:

$P(X=0)=(3C0)(0.1)^0 (1-0.1)^{3-0}=0.729$

And the probability of loss with the first wersion is 0.729

Alternative 2

Let Y the random variable of interest, on this case we now that:

$Y \sim Binom(n=5, p=0.05)$

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:

$P(Y)=(nCy)(p)^y (1-p)^{n-y}$

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:

$nCy=\frac{n!}{(n-y)! y!}$

We can find the probability of loss like this P(Y=0) and if we find this probability we got this:

$P(Y=0)=(5C0)(0.05)^0 (1-0.05)^{5-0}=0.774$

And the probability of loss with the first wersion is 0.774

As we can see the best alternative is the first version since the probability of loss is lower than the probability of loss on version 2.

Identify the factors of x2 − 4x − 21. (x − 7)(x 3) (x 7)(x − 3) (x 21)(x − 1) (x − 21)(x 1)

Tanzania [10]

The factors of the quadratic expression x² - 4x - 21 is (x - 7)(x + 3), making the first option the right choice.

A quadratic expression is of the form ax² + bx + c, which can be factorized using the mid-term factorization method, where b is shown as the sum or difference of two such numbers, whose product is equal to the product of a and c.

In the question, we are asked to factorize the quadratic expression, x² - 4x - 21.

In the given expression, a = 1, b = -4, and c = -21.

Thus, ac = -21.

The numbers having a product 21 are:

1*21 = 21,

3*7 = 21.

Since, 3 - 7 = -4 (That is b), we break b into 3 and -7.

Thus, the expression can now be shown as:

x² - 4x - 21

= x² + (3 - 7)x - 21

= x² + 3x - 7x - 21

= x(x + 3) - 7(x + 3) {By taking common}

= (x - 7)(x + 3) {By taking common}.

Thus, the factors of the quadratic expression x² - 4x - 21 is (x - 7)(x + 3), making the first option the right choice.

Problem in the attachment

TEA [102]

You can solve this by multiplying each numerator by the answer choices and trying to divide them. I can't get the fraction maker to work at the moment, so I'll write the calculations on a separate attachment.

As you can see, the only choice that works to eliminate both fractions is the fourth choice, 50x.

Determine whether the ratios are equivalent. 3:8 and 9: 24. are they equivalent or not?

Simora [160]

Answer:

Yes, they are equivalent.

Step-by-step explanation:

9 / 3 = 3

24 / 3 = 8

3:8 is just the simplified version of 9:24. This is due to 9:24 being divided by three, becoming 3:8.
