Answer:

The probability of 1 or less children from that group to learn how to swim before 6 years of age is 0.072

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case we need to compute the probability of none of these 12 children learns to swim before 6 years of age. This is given by:

p(0) = (1 - 0.312)^(12) = 0.688^(12) = 0.01124

We now need to calculate the probability that one child learns to swim before 6 years of age.

p(1) = 12*0.312*(1 - 0.312)^(11) = 3.744*(0.688)^(11)

p(1) = 3.744*0.01634

p(1) = 0.0612

The probability of 1 or less children from that group to learn how to swim before 6 years of age is:

p = p(0) + p(1) = 0.01124 + 0.0612 = 0.07244

Using the power series methods solve the 1st order Lane-Emden Equation:
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

xy = 2y + xy = 0

Hence, 2y + xy = 0 ---------(1)

Differentiating equation (1) n times by Leibnitz theorem, gives:

2y(n) + xy(n) + ny(n - 1) = 0

Let x = 0: 2y(n) + ny(n - 1) = 0

2y(n) = -ny(n - 1)

∴ y(n) = -ny(n - 1)/2 for n ≥ 1

For n = 1: y = 0

For n = 2: y(1) = -y

For n = 3: -3y(2)/2

For n = 4: -2y(3)

In a certain classroom ,12.5% of the students own at least one pet. If there are 32 students in the classroom,how many students
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

28

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that 12.5% of students own at least 1 pet, then the percentage of students who do not own a pet is

100% - 12.5% = 87.5%

Calculate 87.5% of 32, that is

\frac{87.5}{100} × 32

= 0.875 × 32 = 28 ← number of students who do not own a pet
