<span>Probability = 0.063 Fourth try = 0.0973 Let X be the number of failed attempts at passing the test before the student passes. This is a negative binomial or geometric variable with x â {0, 1, 2, 3, . . .}, p = P(success) = 0.7 and the number of successes to to observe r = 1. Thus the pmf is nb(x; 1, p) = (1 â’ p) xp. The probability P that the student passes on the third try means that there were x = 2 failed attempts or P = nb(2, ; 1, .7) = (.3)2 (.7) = 0.063 . The probability that the student passes before the third try is that there were two or fewer failed attmpts, so P = P(X ≤ 2) = nb(0, ; 1, .7) + nb(1, ; 1, .7) + nb(2, ; 1, .7) = (.3)0 (.7) + (.3)1 (.7) + (.3)2 (.7) = 0.973 .</span>

I have this problem in Algebra that I cannot figure out :(
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]
The answer is -4

Solution:

f(x) = 3x - 7
g(x) = 2x^2 - 3x + 1

(fog)(0)

= f(2(0)^2 - 3(0) + 1)
= f(2x^2 - 3x + 1)
= f(1)

= 3x - 7
= 3(1) - 7
= -4

nirvana33 [79]
Ok.. if you got 84.99 as you answer then you would put .15 *99.99 then you would get 14.9985 then round and get 15.00 and then 99.99 - 15.00 ....you will get 84.99...i think
