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.

Allen rents a truck for 45 dollars plus .36 cents for every mile that he drives the truck. Write an equation that models this li
enot [183]

Answer:

This is a linear equation of the form y = mx + b, where m is the rate of change and b is the y-intercept, also known as the value of y when x = 0.  Our independent variable is the number of miles we travel, and we will call that x.  If we pay .20 per mile, and miles is "x", we represent that as .20x.  The 70 is the amount we will pay per day even if we drive 0 miles.  Therefore, the equation is:

y = .20x + 70.

I cannot graph this for you here.

We can choose a number of miles, say 100, and solve for our cost:

y = .20(100) + 70

y = 20 + 70

y = 90

We can expect to pay $90 if we drive 100 miles in a day.

James bought a cake that weighs 3 and 1 over 4 pounds. How many ounces does the cake weigh? Show your work. (5 points)
kolezko [41]

The weight of James cake in ounces is 52 ounces and the Pint of water dispensed in 20 seconds is 24 pints

<h3>Weight</h3>

  • Weight of cake = 3 1/4 pounds

1 pound = 16 ounces

Number of ounces the cake weigh = 3 1/4 pounds × 16 ounces

= 13/4 × 16

= (208) / 4

= 52 ounces

  • Water dispensed per second = 0.15 gallons
  • Number of seconds = 20 seconds

1 gallon = 4 quarts

0.15 gallon = 0.6 quarts

1 quart = 2 pints

0.6 quart = 1.2 pints

Pint of water dispensed in 20 seconds = 1.2 × 20

= 24 pints of water
