A thumbtack that is tossed can land point up or point down. The probability of a tack landing point up is 0.2. A simulation was conducted in which a trial consisted of tossing 5 thumbtacks and recording the number of thumbtacks that land point up. Many trials of the simulation were conducted and the results are shown in the histogram. Based on the results of the simulation, which of the following is closest to the probability that at least 2 thumbtacks land pointing up when 5 thumbtacks are tossed?

A 0.09

B 0.19

C 0.28

D 0.72

E 0.91

Option C: 0.28

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a binomial probability distribution problem.

Now, we want to find the probability that at least 2 thumbtacks land pointing up when 5 thumbtacks are tossed. This is written as;

P(X ≥ 2) = P(2) + P(3) + P(4) + P(5)

From the histogram;

P(5) = 0.02

P(4) = 0.02

P(3) = 0.05

P(2) = 0.19

Thus;

P(X ≥ 2) = 0.19 + 0.05 + 0.02 + 0.02

P(X ≥ 2) = 0.28

From the histogram, it is found that there is a 0.28 = 28% probability that at least 2 thumbtacks land pointing up when 5 thumbtacks are tossed, option C.

------------------

The probabilities given by the histogram are:

The probability of at least 2 up is:

0.28 = 28% probability that at least 2 thumbtacks land pointing up when 5 thumbtacks are tossed, option C.

the correct functions are

h(x) = 3x + 2  

g(x) = 2^x

step-by-step explanation:

i proceed to calculate the different values ​​of k (x)

case 1)  k(x) = g(x) ∘ h(x)

g(x) ∘ h(x)=g(h(x))

k(x) = [2]^[3x + > is the option  4. k(x) = 2^(3x + 2 )

case 2)  k(x) = g(x) + h(x)

k(x) = [2^x]+[3x + 2]=2^x+3x+> is the option  1.) k(x) = 2^x + 3x + 2

case 3)k(x) = h(x) ÷ g(x)

k(x) =  [3x + 2]/[2^x]=3x/(2^x)+2/(2^x)=3x*(2^-x)+2^(1-x)

is the option  3.)   k(x) = (3x)2^(-x) + 2^(-x + 1 )

case 4)k(x) = g(x) - h(x)

k(x) =  [2^x]-[3x + 2]=2^x-3x-> is the option  2.) k(x) = 2^x - 3x - 2 

case 5)  k(x) = g(x) × h(x)

k(x) = [2^x]*[3x + > is the option  5.) k(x) = 2^x(3x + 2)

case 6)k(x) = h(x) ∘ g(x)

h(x) ∘ g(x)=h(g(x))

k(x)=3*[2^x]+> is the option  6. k(x) = 3(2^x) +2

30 miles

step-by-step explanation:

we know that 60 seconds equals 1 minute and 60 minutes 1 hour

44 ft       60 sec     60 min     158400   ft

  *   *   =

1 sec       1 min       1 hour         hour

we know that there are 5280 ft per mile

158400   ft       1 mile         30 miles

  *   =

1   hour               5280 ft     1 hour

so in 1 hour   it can travel 30 miles
