A child is observing squirrels in the park and notices that some are black and some are gray. For the next five squirrels she sees, she counts X = the number of black squirrels. Suppose 20% of squirrels are black. What is the probability that she will see exactly two black squirrels out of the five?

20.48% probability that she will see exactly two black squirrels out of the five

Step-by-step explanation:

For each squirrel, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is black, or it is not. The probability of a squirrel being black is independent of other squirrels. So we use the binomial probability distribition 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.

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

And p is the probability of X happening.

20% of squirrels are black.

This means that

What is the probability that she will see exactly two black squirrels out of the five?

This is P(X = 2) when n = 5. So

20.48% probability that she will see exactly two black squirrels out of the five

options a,b,c are the right answer.

step-by-step explanation:

a linear parent function is always represented as y = x

if we write this function in the form of y=mx+c

⇒

or  

now if we plot a graph we will find these characteristics:

1) y intercept of the graph is zero so its a straight line passing through origin.

2) as we can see in both the forms of function written, values of x and y may be either positive or negative for the positive slope means points on the graph are either in first quadrant or in third one.

3) it's slope is one.
