In a carnival game, there are 8 identical boxes, one of which contains a prize. Contestants guess which box contains the prize. The game is played until one of the contestants guesses it correctly. A contestant with the smaller number of guesses wins the prize. Before each game, a new prize is placed at random in one of the 8 boxes.

Requried:
Is it appropriate to use the binomial probability distribution to find the probability that a contestant who plays the game that day several times wins exactly 4 times?

Answers

Answer 1

Since there is a fixed number of trials and the trials are independent, it is appropriate to use the binomial probability distribution to find the probability that a contestant who plays the game that day several times wins exactly 4 times.

What is the binomial distribution formula?

The formula is:

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

The parameters are:

x is the number of successes.n is the number of trials.p is the probability of a success on a single trial.

In this problem:

The game is played n times.In each game, each of the 8 participants is equally as likely to win the game, hence p = 1/8.

Thus, the binomial distribution is appropriate.

Answers

Answer:

8 columns bar graph.

Step-by-step explanation:

$2 = pen

$3 = notebook

This could be written as a bar graph in multiples of $6.00 along y axes.

3 pens + 8 notebooks. Then 12 pens + 2 notebooks.

Then 9 pens + 4 notebooks . Then 6 pens + 6 notebooks

3p + 8n,    12p + 2n,    9p+4n,    6p + 6n

3p = $6

8n = $24

Given the system of equations, what is the solution? 2x+y = -1 х- у = -5​

Answers

Answer:

x=-2, y=3

Step-by-step explanation:

make it easy first, solve for x in the second equation: x= -5+y.

then sub that in for the other x: 2(-5+y)+y= -1

now combine like terms: -10+3y= -1

solve for y: 3y=9, y= 3

then replace y for your second equation: x-3= -5

solve for x= -5+3.... so then its -2

check by replacing all variables with your new solutions:

2(-2), which is -4+3 does equal -1

(-2) -3 does equal -5.

your answers are x=-2, y=3

Suppose we are sending a digital signal which is a string of 0s and 1s of length five. (Example stringsare 00101, 11000, 10101 are all 5 bit strings.) When we send the message, each bit (0 or 1) is sentindependently and there is some chance that the bit is corrupted. Namely, each time we send a 0 thereis a 5% chance that a 1 is received and each time we send a 1 there is a 5% chance a 0 is received.Suppose we send a message of length 5, what is the probability that an incorrect message is received

Answers

Answer:

0.7738 = 77.38% probability that an incorrect message is received.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each bit, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is corrupted, or it is not. The probability of a bit being corrupted is independent of any other bit. This means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

And p is the probability of X happening.

5% probability a bit is sent incorrectly:

This means that [tex]p = 0.05[/tex]

Message of length 5

This means that [tex]n = 5[/tex]

What is the probability that an incorrect message is received?

This is the probability of at least one incorrect bit, which is:

[tex]P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)[/tex]

In which

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{5,0}.(0.05)^{0}.(0.95)^{5} = 0.7738[/tex]

0.7738 = 77.38% probability that an incorrect message is received.

Mark Brainliest please

Answer: 5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Curved Surface area of a cylinder formula :-

2.pie*r*h (where r is the radius)
Height = 21 cm

Curved Surface area of the cylinder = 660 cm2

So, 2* pie* r* h = 660 (Here I will assume pie to be 22/7)

And 2* 22/7 * 21* r = 660

And 132 * r = 660
Therefore, r = 660/132 = 5cnn

Therefore radius of the cylinder = 5 cm

Median is not dependent on all the data values in a dataset. The median value is fixed by its position and is not reflected by the individual value. The distance between the median and the rest of the values is less than the distance from any other point. Every array has a single median.

Required:
a. Find the values of mean and standard deviation.
b. Is there a difference in the mean attention span Of the children for the various commercials?

Answers

Answer:

(a)

Mean

[tex]\bar x_1 = 31.375[/tex]

[tex]\bar x_2 = 41.75[/tex]

[tex]\bar x_3 = 53.00[/tex]

Standard deviation

[tex]\sigma_1 = 8.73[/tex]

[tex]\sigma_2 = 7.65[/tex]

[tex]\sigma_3 = 6.04[/tex]

(b) Yes, there is a difference in the mean

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving (a): The mean and standard deviation of each commercial

This is calculated as:

[tex]\bar x = \frac{\sum x}{n}[/tex]

For clothes:

[tex]\bar x_1 = \frac{43+24+42+35+28+31+17+31}{8}[/tex]

[tex]\bar x_1 = \frac{251}{8}[/tex]

[tex]\bar x_1 = 31.375[/tex]

For food:

[tex]\bar x_2 = \frac{30+38+46+54+47+42+34+43}{8}[/tex]

[tex]\bar x_2 = \frac{334}{8}[/tex]

[tex]\bar x_2 = 41.75[/tex]

For toys:

[tex]\bar x_3 = \frac{52+58+43+49+63+53+48+58}{8}[/tex]

[tex]\bar x_3 = \frac{424}{8}[/tex]

[tex]\bar x_3 = 53.00[/tex]

The sample standard deviation is:

[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{\sum(x - \bar x)^2}{n-1}}[/tex]

For clothes:

[tex]\sigma_1 = \sqrt{\frac{(43 - 31.375)^2 +.............+(31 - 31.375)^2}{8-1}}[/tex]

[tex]\sigma_1 = \sqrt{\frac{533.875}{7}[/tex]

[tex]\sigma_1 = \sqrt{76.2678571429}[/tex]

[tex]\sigma_1 = 8.73[/tex]

For food:

[tex]\sigma_2 = \sqrt{\frac{(30 - 41.75)^2 +............+(43 - 41.75)^2}{8-1}}[/tex]

[tex]\sigma_2 = \sqrt{\frac{409.5}{7}}[/tex]

[tex]\sigma_2 = \sqrt{58.5}[/tex]

[tex]\sigma_2 = 7.65[/tex]

For toys:

[tex]\sigma_3 = \sqrt{\frac{(52-53.00)^2+...................+(58-53.00)^2}{8}}[/tex]

[tex]\sigma_3 = \sqrt{\frac{292}{8}}[/tex]

[tex]\sigma_3 = \sqrt{36.5}[/tex]

[tex]\sigma_3 = 6.04[/tex]

Solving (b): Difference in mean in the commercials;

In (a), we have:

[tex]\bar x_1 = 31.375[/tex]

[tex]\bar x_2 = 41.75[/tex]

[tex]\bar x_3 = 53.00[/tex]

[tex]\bar x_1 \ne \bar x_2 \ne \bar x_3[/tex]

Hence, there is a difference in their means

The function y=2x^3 is an example of the parent function y=x^3 being vertically scaled by a factor of 2. As such, it is not the parent function.

_____

Additional comment

A parent function is one that has not been translated or scaled in any way. One could argue that the parent function of the form y=constant is y=1, so that the function y=1/2 has been scaled by a factor of 1/2. In this problem, we recognize the parent function y=x^3 has clearly been scaled to get y=2x^3, so the latter is not an example of a parent function.

If this is a "check all that apply" question, then y=1/2 is another reasonable answer.

What is a function?

A statement, principle, or policy that creates the link between two variables is known as a function. Functions are found all across mathematics and are required for the creation of complex relationships.

The functions are given below.

f(x) = 3x³ + 9x² - 12x

g(x) = x - 1

h(x) = 3x² + 12x

The function f(x) can be written as

f(x) = 3x(x² + 3x - 4)

f(x) = 3x(x² + 4x - x - 4)

f(x) = 3x(x + 4)(x - 1)

f(x) = (x - 1)(3x² + 12)

Then divide the function f(x) by the function g(x), then we have

f(x) / g(x) = (x - 1)(3x² + 12) / (x - 1)

f(x) / g(x) = (3x² + 12)

f(x) / g(x) = h(x)
