Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

a) Figure attached

b) E(X) =\mu= np = 9*0.7=6.3

Sd(X) =\sigma= \sqrt{np(1-p)}= \sqrt{9*0.7*(1-0.7)}=1.375

c) For the case n= 6

P(X \leq 2) = 0.9891

For the case n= 5

P(X \leq 2) = 0.9692

So then we need at least  n=5 or n=6 to satisfy the condition required.

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The binomial distribution is a "DISCRETE probability distribution that summarizes the probability that a value will take one of two independent values under a given set of parameters. The assumptions for the binomial distribution are that there is only one outcome for each trial, each trial has the same probability of success, and each trial is mutually exclusive, or independent of each other".

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable of interest, on this case we now that:

X \sim Binom(n=9, p=0.7)

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:

P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:

nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}

Part a

For this case we can use the following R code:

> x <- seq(0,9,by = 1)

> y <- dbinom(x,9,0.7)

> plot(x,y,main="Histogram",type = "h")

And we can see on the figure attached the solution.

We see that the higher probabilities are from 4 to 9

Part b

The expected value is given by:

E(X) =\mu= np = 9*0.7=6.3

The variance is given by:

Var (X) =\sigma^2= np(1-p) = 9*0.7*(1-0.7)= 1.89

And the standard deviation is:

Sd(X) =\sigma= \sqrt{np(1-p)}= \sqrt{9*0.7*(1-0.7)}=1.375

Part c

First we can find the probability that at least two addresses will be found in the list of 9 that we have like this:

P(X \geq 2)

We can use the complement rule and we have:

P(X \geq 2) = 1-P(X

We find the indicidual probabilities:

P(X=0)=(9C0)(0.7)^0 (1-0.7)^{9-0}=0.00001968

P(X=1)=(9C1)(0.7)^1 (1-0.7)^{9-1}=0.000413

P(X \geq 2) = 1-[0.00001968+0.000413]=0.9996

If we use the case of n=8 and we find P(X\leq 2), we got:

P(X \leq 2) = 0.9987

For the case n= 7

P(X \leq 2) = 0.9962

For the case n= 6

P(X \leq 2) = 0.9891

For the case n= 5

P(X \leq 2) = 0.9692

So then we need at least  n=5 or n=6 to satisfy the condition required.

How many pairs of whole numbers have a sum of 99
alexandr402 [8]

With the sum of 99, we will get 50 pairs whole numbers. Why?

Let’s start with

0+ 99

1 + 98

2 + 97

3 + 96

4 + 95

5 + 94

6 + 93

7 + 92

8 + 91

9 + 90

10 + 89

………

……..

43 + 49

44 + 50


Therefore, if you’re going to count all pairs of whole number, you will get 50 pairs of whole number with the sum of 99.

Hope this helps!

What is −34, 0.5, 23,−73, 1.2 in order from least to greatest?
denpristay [2]

Answer:

-73, -34, 0.5, 1.2, 23

Step-by-step explanation:

In Mathematics, the set of numbers are arranged in two ways. It means that the numbers can be arranged either in ascending order or descending order. If the numbers are arranged from the least to the greatest, then it is called ascending order. In this form, the numbers are in increasing order. The first number should be lesser than the second number.

If the numbers are arranged from the greatest to the least, then it is called descending order. In this form, the numbers are in decreasing form. The first number should be greater than the second number.

Also, read: Descending Order

Standard Form

<em>The standard form to represent the least to the greatest arrangement </em>of numbers is given by:

a < b < c < d  < …..

Here,  

a, b, c, d represent the numbers

Example: 2 < 5 < 7 < 8

Which equations represent the line that is parallel to 3x − 4y = 7 and passes through the point (−4, −2)? Select two options. y
andriy [413]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We want a line parallel to 3x − 4y = 7.  Any such line will have an equation of the same form but a different constant.

If the new line is to pass through the point (-4, -2), replace x with -4 and y with -2.  We obtain:

3(-4) − 4(-2) = -12 + 8 = -4.  Thus, the desired new equation is 3x − 4y = -4.

This could also be written as 3x − 4y + 4 = 0.  We could also solve this for y, obtaining:

3x + 4 = 4y, or  y = (3/4)x + 1.
