Answer:

b.  21.4 % (nearest tenth)

Step-by-step explanation:

P(lose) = 33% = 0.33

P(win) = 1 - 0.33 = 0.67

Using binomial distribution X ~ B(n, p)

where n is the number of trials and p is the probability of success

⇒ X ~ B(15, 0.67)

Binomial probability formula:

\sf P(X=x)= \ _nC_x\cdot p^x \cdot(1-p)^{n-x}

\sf \implies P(X=10)=15C10\cdot 0.67^{10} \cdot(1-0.67)^{15-10}

                       \sf =3003 \cdot 0.67^{10} \cdot 0.33^5

                       \sf =0.214226434...

Converting to percentage:

0.214266434... x 100% = 21.4 % (nearest tenth)

  • They lose 33% of games i.e 0.33
  • They win 67% of games i e 0.67

So

  • P(A)=0.33
  • P(A')=0.67

Now

  • They win from 15games=10
  • They lose=5

The required probability

\\ \rm\rightarrowtail P(A')^{10}\times P(A)^5\times ^{15}C_{10}

\\ \rm\rightarrowtail (0.33)^{5}\times (0.67)^{10}\times \dfrac{15!}{5!10!}

\\ \rm\rightarrow 0.0039(0.0182)\times\dfrac{15(14)(13)(12)(11)10!}{5!10!}

\\ \rm\rightarrowtail 0.00007098\times \dfrac{360360}{120}

\\ \rm\rightarrowtail 0.00007098(3003)

\\ \rm\rightarrowtail 0.213

So probability

  • 0.213(100)=21.3%

One number is nine more than a second number. Four times the first is 6 less than 2 times the second. Find the numbers.
Masteriza [31]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  -12, -21

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the first number. Then the second is x-9. The other relation is ...

  4x = 2(x-9) -6

  2x = -24 . . . . . subtract 2x, simplify

  x = -12

  x-9 = -21

The first number is -12; the second number is -21.

SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

y=-5x-36

Step-by-step explanation:

-66-(-61)= -5

6-5= 1

-5/1= -5

Y=-5x + B

-66= -5(6) + B

-66= -30 + B

-66 + 30 = (-30 +30) + B

-36 = B

Y= -5x-36

A line that includes the points (9,j) and (10,4) has a slope of 1. What is the value of j?
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

soln

A=(9,j)

x1=9,y1=j

B=(10,4)

x2=10,y2=4

slope=1

by using the fomulaof slope,

slope=y2-y1/x2-x1

1 =4-j/10-9

1 = 4-j/1

1=4-j

j=4-1

j=3

Somebody help me lol

Answer: 1.03*10^{-1}>3.1*10^{-2}>2.01*10^{-3}>2.32*10^{-4}>4.2*10^{-5}

Step-by-step explanation:

1. A number written in scientific notation has the following form:

a10^{b}

Where is a is a number between 1 and 10 but not including 10, and b is an integer.

2. The negative exponent indicates the number of places the decimal point must be moved to the left to obtain the number as a decimal number.

3. Keeping this on mind, you can know that: if the exponent of a number written in scientific notation indicates that the decimal point must be moved 5 places to the left and another number written in scientific notation indicates that the decimal point must be moved 2 places to the left, then the first number is smaller than the second one.

4. Therefore, you can arrange the numbers given in the problem as following:

1.03*10^{-1}>3.1*10^{-2}>2.01*10^{-3}>2.32*10^{-4}>4.2*10^{-5}
