According to the u. s. national center for health statistics, there is about an 80% chance that a person aged 20 will be alive at age 65. suppose that three people aged 20 are selected at random. a). let x (random variable) denote the number of people of the three who are alive at age 65. what is the range of the random variable? b). find the probability that exactly only two of the three people will be alive at age 65.

a) The range of the random variable is 0,1,2,3.

b) There is a 38.4% probability that exactly only two of the three people will be alive at age 65.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each person aged 20, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they will be alive, or they will not be alive. So we use the binomial probability distribution 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.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

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

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

In this problem we have that:

80% chance that a person aged 20 will be alive at age 65, which means that p = 0.8

Three people aged 20 are selected at random, which means that n = 3

a). let x (random variable) denote the number of people of the three who are alive at age 65. what is the range of the random variable?

The range is the possible number of people in the sample who will be alive.

So the range of the random variable is 0,1,2,3.

b). find the probability that exactly only two of the three people will be alive at age 65.

This is P(X = 2).

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 2) = C_{3,2}.(0.8)^{2}.(0.2)^{1} = 0.384$

There is a 38.4% probability that exactly only two of the three people will be alive at age 65.

Answer from: Quest

it's d.

step-by-step explanation:

because: -1(4x + 1y) +2 (1x-3y) distribute each number into the parenthesis.

then you would get: -4x - 1y + 2x -6y combine like terms

and get: 2x -7y

hope my answer has you if not then i'm sorry.

Which expression is the simplest form of -(4x + y) + 2(x – 3y)?

Answer from: Quest

The first one, i believe, would be correct. all the others have one thing in common, and that's that they have repeating numbers. in the second one, x and y have repeating 6's and 3's, and in the third, x and y have repeating 6's as well. in the last one, there are repeating 3's. the first one has no repeating numbers.
Which table shows a proportional relationship between x and y

Which table shows a proportional relationship between x and y

Carla was trying to decide what to do saturday evening. she has $100 available to spend for the evening. she has narrowed her choices down to these events: braves game, a concert of an artist she likes, or the georgia aquarium. admission to the braves game is $25, hot dogs cost $10, sodas cost $5. the concert costs $25 for admission, $20 for a souvernir t-shirt, and $10 for a soda. the georgia aquarium has the show of a lifetime with an all you can eat and drink that costs $100. carla does not want to take any driving chances, so in addition to the cost of the aquarium, she will also need to pay for her uber/lyft, which is $15 each way. which option should carla choose if she wants to spend the least? based on that choice, what then is carla's oppotunity cost? fully explain your answer in at least one paragraph.
