Some parts of California are particularly earthquake-prone. Suppose that in one metropolitan area, 27% of all homeowners are insured against earthquake damage. Four homeowners are to be selected at random. Let X denote the number among the four who have earthquake insurance.
(a) Find the probability distribution of X. [Hint: Let S denote a homeowner that has insurance and F one who does not. Then one possible outcome is SFSS, with probability (0.27)(0.73)(0.27)(0.27) and associated X value 3. There are 15 other outcomes.] (Round your answers to four decimal places.)
x 0 1 2 3 4
p(x) ___ __ __ __ __
(c) What is the most likely value for X?
(d) What is the probability that at least two of the four selected have earthquake insurance? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a)

P(X = 0) = 0.2840

P(X = 1) = 0.4201

P(X = 2) = 0.2331

P(X = 3) = 0.0575

P(X = 4) = 0.0053

c) The most likely value for X is 1.

d) 0.2959 = 29.59% probability that at least two of the four selected have earthquake insurance.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each homeowner, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they are insured against earthquake damage, or they are not. Homeowners are independent. This means that 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.

[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.

27% of all homeowners are insured against earthquake damage.

This means that [tex]p = 0.27[/tex]

Four homeowners are to be selected at random.

This means that [tex]n = 4[/tex]

(a) Find the probability distribution of X.

This is the probability of each outcome. So

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

[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{4,0}.(0.27)^{0}.(0.73)^{4} = 0.2840[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 1) = C_{4,1}.(0.27)^{1}.(0.73)^{3} = 0.4201[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 2) = C_{4,2}.(0.27)^{2}.(0.73)^{2} = 0.2331[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 3) = C_{4,3}.(0.27)^{3}.(0.73)^{1} = 0.0575[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 4) = C_{4,4}.(0.27)^{4}.(0.73)^{0} = 0.0053[/tex]

So the probability distribution is

P(X = 0) = 0.2840

P(X = 1) = 0.4201

P(X = 2) = 0.2331

P(X = 3) = 0.0575

P(X = 4) = 0.0053

(c) What is the most likely value for X?

P(X = 1) has the highest probability, so X = 1 is the most likely value.

(d) What is the probability that at least two of the four selected have earthquake insurance?

[tex]P(X \geq 2) = P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) = 0.2331 + 0.0575 + 0.0053 = 0.2959[/tex]

0.2959 = 29.59% probability that at least two of the four selected have earthquake insurance.

Which of the following are exterior angles? Check all that apply

Answers

Answer: D, C, A

Step-by-step explanation:

An exterior angle is an angle that is supplementary to an interior angle.

The angle between the extended side and its adjacent side is called the exterior angle so the option (D), (C), and (A) will be the correct answers.

What is the Exterior angle?

Exterior angles become by a side of that figure and its extended adjacent side.

The exterior angle has been attached.

Since in the graph angle, ∠3 become by two extended lines but for exterior angle, there should be only one extended line which is ∠6, ∠5, and ∠2.

Hence angles ∠6, ∠5, and ∠2 will be the exterior angles.

The diagonal is found by using the Pythagorean Theorem: a^2 + b^2 = c^2. This only works for certain figures. The rectangle is one of them.

Givens

a = 10

b = 8

c = ?   This is the length of the diagonal.

Solution

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

10^2 + 8^  = c^2

100 + 64 = c^2

c^2 = 164

so angle d and angle c are congruent

then because a triangles angles add up to equal 180 we do

180=x+54+x+54+x and solve for x

step 1 combine like terms x+x+x=3x 54+54=108

180=3x+108

step 2 subtract each side by 108

3x=72

step 3 divide each side by 3

Given:

The given equation is

[tex]x^2-8x+16=0[/tex]

To find:

The correct statement for the given equation.

Solution:

We have,

[tex]x^2-8x+16=0[/tex]

It can be written as

[tex]x^2-2(x)(4)+(4)^2=0[/tex]

Using the identity of perfect square trinomial, we get

[tex](x-4)^2=0[/tex]            [tex][\because (a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2][/tex]

[tex](x-4)=0[/tex]

[tex]x=4[/tex]

Here, x=4 has multiplicity two because the power of factor (x-4) is 2.

x=4 is a double root and the equation is a perfect trinomial.

Therefore, the correct options are C and E.

Answer:

B) Factor to solve.

C) x = 4 is a double root.

E) The equation is a perfect square trinomial.

Step-by-step explanation:

Factor to solve.<

By inspection, the equation is a perfect square trinomial.

x = 4 is a double root

By inspection, the middle term's coefficient 8 is twice the square root of 16, the constant; therefore, it is a perfect square trinomial.

x2 − 8x + 16 = 0 → (x − 4)(x − 4) = 0 → x = 4 is a double root.
