Each letter of the word "" is placed into a bag and drawn at 3 times, replacing the letter after each draw. Find the probability that the letter "i" is drawn at least once.

P(X ≥ 1) = 0.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

The word "supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" has 34 letters in which 'i' appears 7 times in the word.

Then; the probability of success = 7/34 = 0.20588

Using Binomial distribution to determine the probability; we have:

where;

x = 0,1,2,...n    and    0  <  β   <   1

and x represents the  number of successes.

However; since the letter is drawn thrice; the probability that the letter "i" is drawn at least once can be computed as:

P(X ≥ 1) = 1 - P(X< 1)

P(X ≥ 1) = 1 - P(X =0)

P(X ≥ 1) = 1 - 0.50

P(X ≥ 1) = 0.50

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:   x (x+6)^2, choice b

discussion:

factor x out of the equation:

x^3 + 12x^2 + 36x = x (x^2 + 12x + 36).

note that 6+6 = 12 and 6*6 = 36 so the above factors into:

x (x+6)^2

which is choice b
