Slope=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
=(4-7)/(2--3)
=3/5
Answer:
0.053
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a geometric distribution problem.
I'm geometric distribution problem,
E(X) = 1/p
Where;
E(X) is expected value and p is probability of success
Thus;
1/p = 12.5
p = 1/12.5
p = 0.08
Now, to find the probability that the sixth person tested is the first one with high blood pressure, we will use the probability formula in geometric distribution which is;
P(X = k) = qⁿ•p
q = 1 - p
q = 1 - 0.08
q = 0.92
Thus;probability that the sixth person tested is the first one with high blood pressure will be expressed as;
P(X > 5) = (0.92^(5)) × 0.08
P(X > 5) = 0.053
