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.

Solve the system of linear equations by elimination.<br><br> −2x−5y=9<br> 3x+11y=4
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

x=-17, y=5. (-17, 5).

Step-by-step explanation:

-2x-5y=9

3x+11y=4

---------------

3(-2x-5y)=3(9)

2(3x+11y)=2(4)

---------------------

-6x-15y=27

6x+22y=8

-----------------

7y=35

y=35/7

y=5

3x+11(5)=4

3x+55=4

3x=4-55

3x=-51

x=-51/3

x=-17

(3x-9) +(x+19)+x=180
5x+10=180
-10=-10
5x=170
5 = 5
x=34

2x+(2x+10)+x=180
5x+10=180
-10=-10
5x=170
5 = 5
x=34

yes they are similar
