<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>

Identify the slope-intercept form and the graph of the line described by the equation 2x−y=0.
vitfil [10]

Answer: y=2x

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve for y.

Step 1: Add -2x to both sides.

2x−y+−2x=0+−2x

−y=−2x

Step 2: Divide both sides by -1.

-y/-1 = -2x.-1

y=2x

Therefore, the y=mx+b form of this question would be y=2x

aivan3 [116]
Answer: x = 5

Explanation:

2(5x + 2) = 54
10x + 4 = 54
10x = 54 - 4
10x = 50
x = 50/10
x = 5

Therefore, x = 5
