A common discrete distribution is used in statistics, as opposed to a continuous distribution is called a Binomial distribution. The probability that 5 out of a shipment of 30 will be defective is 0.001617.

<h3>What is Binomial distribution?</h3>

A common discrete distribution is used in statistics, as opposed to a continuous distribution is called a Binomial distribution. It is given by the formula,

P(x) = ⁿCₓ pˣ q⁽ⁿ⁻ˣ⁾

Where,

x is the number of successes needed,

n is the number of trials or sample size,

p is the probability of a single success, and

q is the probability of a single failure.

The probability of the bulb being defective is 3%(0.03) and the probability of the bulb not being defective is 97%(0.97).

Now, it is needed to be found that the probability that 5 out of a shipment of 30 will be defective can be written as,

P(x) = ⁿCₓ pˣ q⁽ⁿ⁻ˣ⁾

P(x=5) = ³⁰C₅ (0.03)⁵ (0.97)²⁵

P(x=5) = 0.001617

Hence, the probability that 5 out of a shipment of 30 will be defective is 0.001617.

Answer:

19. x = 65

20. x = 12

21. x = 35, y = 85

Step-by-step explanation:

19. 2x -10 = 120

2x (-10 + 10) = (120 +10)

2x/2 = 130/2

x = 65

20. 2x + 4x + 108 = 180

6x + (108 - 108) = (180 - 108)

6x/6 = 72/6

x = 12

21. 2x + 25 = 3x - 10

2x + (25 - 25) = 3x (- 10 - 25)

(2x - 3x) = (3x - 3x) - 35

-x/-1 = -35/-1

x = 35

3x - 10 + y = 180

3(35) - 10 + y = 180

105 - 10 + y = 180

(95 - 95) + y = (180 - 95)

y = 85

-2x - 5y = 13 2x - 5y =17
Flura [38]

{-2x-5y=13

<u>{2x-5y=17    </u>(+)

<em />  -2x+2x-5y-5y=13+17

-10y=30     /:(-10)

y=-3

2x-5y=17

2x-5*(-3)=17

2x+15=17

2x=2

x=1

Worth 15 POINTS!<br><br> Create a story for the equation <br> y= -2x + 14
Ierofanga [76]

-2x+14 is the same as 14 - 2x

Let's say you started off with $14. If you want to buy a soda worth $2, then you have 14-2 = 12 dollars left. If you buy two sodas, then you spend 2*2 = 4 dollars with 14-4 = 10 dollars left.

In general, buying x sodas will cost you 2*x dollars and you have 14 - 2x dollars left over. The x is simply a placeholder for a whole number. For example, if x = 3, then...

14 - 2x = 14 - 2*3 = 14 - 6 = 8

meaning buying 3 sodas cost you $6 and you have $8 left over.

If y is the amount left over, then we can say y = 14 - 2x which is equivalent to y = -2x+14

note: graphing this equation will go through the two points (0,14) and (7,0) as shown in the image below. A graph is handy to help see various points on the line. Each point represents the amount of sodas you can buy (x) and the amount left over in your pocket (y). Keep in mind that neither x nor y can be negative, so it only makes sense to restrict the graph.
