0.3898 = 38.98% probability that there will be 4 failures

Step-by-step explanation:

A sequence of Bernoulli trials forms the binomial probability distribution.

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.

Let the probability of success on a Bernoulli trial be 0.26.

This means that p = 0.26

a. In five Bernoulli trials, what is the probability that there will be 4 failures?

Five trials means that n = 5

4 failures, so 1 success, and we have to find P(X = 1).

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

$P(X = 1) = C_{5,1}.(0.26)^{1}.(0.74)^{4} = 0.3898$

0.3898 = 38.98% probability that there will be 4 failures

Answer from: Quest

answer: the answer is one of

$f=\dfrac{1}{2},~\dfrac{1}{4},~\dfrac{3}{4},~\dfrac{1}{6},~\dfrac{5}{6},~\dfrac{1}{8},~\dfrac{3}{8},~\dfrac{5}{8},~\dfrac{7}{8}.$

step-by-step explanation: we are given to write a proper fraction where the whole is divided into an even number of equal parts less than ten, and an odd number of those parts exist.

an even number less than 10 may be one of 2, 4, 6 or 8. so, the whole may be one of these four evens.

now, an odd number of these parts must exist, so the numerator must be an odd number, one of 1, 3, 5 or 7. it cannot be 9 because then the fraction will become improper.

thus, our fraction may be one of the following

$f=\dfrac{1}{2},~\dfrac{1}{4},~\dfrac{3}{4},~\dfrac{1}{6},~\dfrac{5}{6},~\dfrac{1}{8},~\dfrac{3}{8},~\dfrac{5}{8},~\dfrac{7}{8}.$

Answer from: Quest

use an equation of ratios to determine the amount of gas needed to fill the tank.

0.2 0.8

288.75 x

231 gal

so, 0.2x = (0.8)(288.75 gal), and x = = 1155 gal.

0.2

it would take 1155 gal. to fill the tank.

the cost would be

1155 gal $3

* = $3465 (answer)

1 1 gal

hope this you
