Answer:

The probability that no more than 6 students belong to a ethnic minority is 0.9815.

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>The question is incomplete:</em>

<em>In a certain college, 33% of the physics majors belong to ethnic minorities. If 10 students are selected at random from the physics majors, what is the probability that no more than 6 belong to an ethnic minority?</em>

We can model this with a random variable, with sample size n=10 and probability of success p=0.33.

The probability that k answers are guessed right in the sample is:

P(x=k)=\dbinom{n}{k}p^k(1-p)^{n-k}=\dbinom{10}{k}\cdot0.33^k\cdot0.67^{10-k}

We have to calculate the probability that 6 or less students belong to a ethnic minority. This can be calculated as:

P(x\leq6)=P(x=0)+P(x=1)+P(x=2)+P(x=3)+P(x=4)+P(x=5)+P(x=6)\\\\\\

P(x=0)=\dbinom{10}{0}\cdot0.33^{0}\cdot0.67^{10}=1\cdot1\cdot0.0182=0.0182\\\\\\P(x=1)=\dbinom{10}{1}\cdot0.33^{1}\cdot0.67^{9}=10\cdot0.33\cdot0.0272=0.0898\\\\\\P(x=2)=\dbinom{10}{2}\cdot0.33^{2}\cdot0.67^{8}=45\cdot0.1089\cdot0.0406=0.1990\\\\\\P(x=3)=\dbinom{10}{3}\cdot0.33^{3}\cdot0.67^{7}=120\cdot0.0359\cdot0.0606=0.2614\\\\\\

P(x=4)=\dbinom{10}{4}\cdot0.33^{4}\cdot0.67^{6}=210\cdot0.0119\cdot0.0905=0.2253\\\\\\P(x=5)=\dbinom{10}{5}\cdot0.33^{5}\cdot0.67^{5}=252\cdot0.0039\cdot0.135=0.1332\\\\\\P(x=6)=\dbinom{10}{6}\cdot0.33^{6}\cdot0.67^{4}=210\cdot0.0013\cdot0.2015=0.0547\\\\\\\\\\\\

P(x\leq6)=0.0182+0.0898+0.1990+0.2614+0.2253+0.1332+0.0547\\\\\\P(x\leq6)=0.9815

The probability that 6 or less students belong to a ethnic minority is 0.9815.

1) A rectangle has the lengths shown <br> Find the perimeter of the rectangle.
maks197457 [2]

Hi there! :)

\large\boxed{P = 32cm}

Find the perimeter by solving for y.

We know that a rectangle contains two pairs of parallel and congruent sides, therefore:

5y - 1 = 2y + 8

We can solve for y using this expression. Begin by subtracting 2y from both sides:

5y - 2y - 1 = 2y - 2y + 8

3y - 1 = 8

Add 1 to both sides:

3y - 1 + 1 = 8 + 1

3y = 9

Divide both sides by 3:

y = 3

Recall that the perimeter of a rectangle is:

P = 2l + 2w

Plug in the given expressions for the side lengths to find one equation:

P = 2(5y - 1) + 2(y - 1)

Simplify by distribution:

P = 10y - 2 + 2y - 2

Combine like terms:

P = 12y - 4

Plug in the solved value of y into this equation:

P = 12(3) - 4

P = 36 - 4

P = 32 cm.

How to draw a line that passrs through the origion and has a slope of 2/3?
Tcecarenko [31]
The origin is (0,0)

y = mx + b
slope(m) = 2/3
(0,0)...x = 0 and y = 0
now we sub and find b, the y int
0 = 2/3(0) + b
0 = b

so ur equation is y = 2/3x + 0...or just y = 2/3x
