Samples of rejuvenated mitochondria are mutated (defective) in 1% of cases. Suppose 18 samples are studied, and they can be cons

idered to be independent for mutation. Determine the following probabilities.(a) No samples are mutated.(b) At most one sample is mutated.(c) More than half the samples are mutated.Round your answers to two decimal places (e.g. 98.76).

Probability that no samples are mutated is 0.83, probability that at most one sample is mutated is 0.9812 and probability that more than half the samples are mutated is 0.

Given percentage of rejuvenated mitochondria defective is 1%, and sample size is 18.

Binomial distribution is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials and X can have two outcomes.

P(X=x)=C_{n,x} p^{x}(1-p)^{n-x}

percentage of defective rejuvendated mitochondria=1%

p=0.01

Sample size=18

n=18

a) No samples are mutated

This means P(X=0)=C_{18,0}(0.01)^{0} (0.99)^{18}

=0.83

b) At most one sample is mutated.

P(X<=1)=P(X=0)+P(X=1)

so,

P(X=0)=C_{18,0} (0.01)^{0}  (0.99)^{18}

=0.83

P(X=1)=C_{18,1}(0.01)^{1} (0.99)^{17}=

=0.1512

P(X<=1)=0.83+0.1512

=0.9812

c) More than half the samples are mutated.

P(X>9)=P(X=10)+P(X=11)+P(X=12)+P(X=13)+P(X=14)+P(X=15)+P(X=16)+P(X=17)+P(X=18)

Using two decimals digits precision all will be 0.

Hence Probability that no samples are mutated is 0.83, probability that at most one sample is mutated is 0.9812 and probability that more than half the samples are mutated is 0.

Can you help me this the workings and the answer?<br> Thanks a bunch!!
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

(multiply both sides by 6)

6×\frac{4h+4}{6}-10×6=-2h×6

(simplify)

4h+4-60=-12h

4h-56=-12h

(move constant to the right side and variable to the left)

4h+12h=56

16h=56

(divide both sides by 16)

h=7/2

A children's roller coaster ride travels along 3,300 feet of track at an average rate of 15
Olenka [21]

Answer:

150 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that

1\ mile=5,280\ feet

To convert miles to feet multiply by 5,280

1\ hour=3,600\ seconds

To convert hours to seconds, multiply by 3,600

step 1

Convert the average rate of miles per hour to feet per second

15\frac{mi}{h}=15(\frac{5,280}{3,600})=22\frac{ft}{sec}

step 2

Find out how many seconds does the ride take to travel this length of track

we know that

The length of the track is 3,300 ft

so

Divide the total length of the track by the speed

\frac{3,300}{22}= 150\ sec
