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.

Which points could be the vertices of the image of the rectangle after it is dilated from the origin by a scale factor of 3? Sel
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Dilating with a scale factor of 3 centered at the origin means we multiply all the coordinates by 3.

  1. (0,2) maps onto (0,6).
  2. (0,4) maps onto (0,12).
  3. (3,2) maps onto (9,6).
  4. (3,4) maps onto (9,12).

Therefore, the answers are the second option and the sixth option.

Type the correct answer for each.

If point \left(x,\ \frac{\sqrt{7}}{3}\right) is on the unit ircle, then:

x^2+\left( \frac{ \sqrt{7} }{3} \right)^2=1 \\  \\ \Rightarrow x^2+ \frac{7}{9} =1 \\  \\ \Rightarrow x^2=1- \frac{7}{9} = \frac{2}{9}  \\  \\ \Rightarrow x= \sqrt{ \frac{2}{9} } = \frac{ \sqrt{2} }{3}

Since, the point is in the second quadrant, x is negative.

Thus, (x,\ y)=\left(x,\ \frac{\sqrt{7}}{3}\right)=\left(-\frac{ \sqrt{2} }{3},\ \frac{\sqrt{7}}{3}\right)

Part A:

3 \sqrt{7} =6\left( \frac{ \sqrt{7} }{2} \right) \\  \\ =6\left( \frac{ \sqrt{7} }{3} \cdot \frac{3}{ \sqrt{2} } \right) \\  \\ =6\left( \frac{ \frac{ \sqrt{7} }{3} }{ \frac{ \sqrt{2} }{3} } \right)=-6\left( \frac{ \frac{ \sqrt{7} }{3} }{ -\frac{ \sqrt{2} }{3} } \right) \\  \\ =-6\left( \frac{y}{x} \right)=-6\tan\theta

Therefore, -6\tan\theta=3\sqrt{7}.



Part B:

- \frac{ \sqrt{7} }{2} =- \frac{ \sqrt{7} }{3} \cdot \frac{3}{ \sqrt{2} }  \\ \\ =- \frac{ \frac{ \sqrt{7} }{3} }{ \frac{ \sqrt{2} }{3} } = \frac{ \frac{ \sqrt{7} }{3} }{ -\frac{ \sqrt{2} }{3} } = \frac{y}{x}  \\  \\ =\tan\theta

Therefore, \tan\theta=- \frac{ \sqrt{7} }{2}

A bag contains 10 pounds of dog food.

A family feeds their dogs 0.85 pound of dog food a day so cin seven day the dog eats (0.85 x 7) = 5.95 pounds

so, <span>dog food is left in the bag after 7 days is </span>(10-5.95) = 4.05 pounds
