6. If a person adopts a pet, it's either a cat or a dog. 25% of the time, it's a cat and 75% of the time, it's a dog. If you meet someone at the shelter that adopted three pets, what's the probability that they got either: three cats or three dogs? Show your calculation and give your single answer as a decimal.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

0.0156 probability that they got three cats.

0.4219 probability that they got three dogs.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each person there are only two possible outcomes. Either they adopted a dog, or a cat. The probability of a person adopting a cat or a dog is independent of any other person, which 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.

Three people:

This means that [tex]n = 3[/tex]

What's the probability that they got three cats?

25% of the time it's a cat adopted, which means that [tex]p = 0.25[/tex]

This is P(X = 3). So

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

[tex]P(X = 3) = C_{3,3}.(0.25)^{3}.(0.75)^{0} = 0.0156[/tex]

0.0156 probability that they got three cats.

What's the probability that they got three dogs?

75% of the time it's a dog adopted, which means that [tex]p = 0.75[/tex]

This is P(X = 3). So

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

[tex]P(X = 3) = C_{3,3}.(0.75)^{3}.(0.25)^{0} = 0.4219[/tex]

0.4219 probability that they got three dogs.

Answer:

844 in.²

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the area of all the sides, and add them up

(20 x 7.4) x 2 = 296

(20 x 10) x 2 = 400

(10 x 7.4) x 2 = 148

What would be the Y-intercept in equation #1 of the following system? (Graphing)
x+y=7
6x-7y=18
(Worth 10 points)

Answers

I don't know what you mean by equation 1. I assume you mean x + y = 7 is equation 1.

If so, solve for y as step 1.

x + y = 7

y = - x + 7

The y-intercept is 7.

Your directions do not say to solve the system of equations.

If you need to solve by graphing, use DESMOS or your graphing calculator. The solution of the system of equations is the point on the graph where the two equations meet or touch each other.

Answer:

sdfsefsesfsfsefsefsefsefsfsefesef

Step-by-step explanation:

Yes, because Han’s expression is 8(y-3) which is 8 x y which equals 8y and then 8 x -3 which equals -24. Priya’s is 2(4y-12). 2 x 4y = 8y and 2 x -12 = -24

Quadrilateral A'B'C'D' Is the image of quadrilateral ABCD under a dilation.

What is the scale factor of the dilation?

Answers

Answer:

Scale factor = [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for the dilation to be used,

Scale factor = [tex]\frac{\text{Dimension of the image}}{\text{Dimension of the original}}[/tex]

                    = [tex]\frac{A'B'}{AB}[/tex]

                    = [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

Therefore, scale factor by which quadrilateral ABCD has been dilated to form image quadrilateral A'B'C'D' is [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex].

Find the next 3 terms in this pattern: 18, -6, 2, ___, ___, ___.

Answers

Answer: -0.67, 0.22, -0.074

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a geometric sequence because it has a common ratio. The common ratio is divide by -3.

18 / -6 = -3

-6 / 2 = -3

Therefore, we'd continue that ratio.

2 / -3 = -0.67

-0.67 / -3 = 0.22

0.22 / -3 = -0.074

It may ask you to write that in fraction form^^

In that case, 2/-3, then 2/-3 / -3, etc etc. :)

Divide by -3
