Answer:

98.01% probability of getting 5 clean sheets

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

In this problem, the order that the sheets are chosen is not important, so we use the combinations formula to solve this problem.

Combinations formula:

C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

0.4% of the sheets contain spots

Of 500, that is 0.004*500 = 2.

What is the probability of getting 5 clean sheets although 0.4% of the sheets contain spots?

Desired outcomes

2 are defective, so 5 sheets from a set of 500 - 2 = 498.

D = C_{498,5} = \frac{498!}{5!493!} = 250160254344

Total outcomes

5 sheets from a set of 500.

T = C_{500,5} = \frac{500!}{5!495!} = 255244687600

Probability:

P = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{250160254344}{255244687600} = 0.9801

98.01% probability of getting 5 clean sheets

A running group has 38 members. Each group member completed half marathon (13.1 miles). The average time to complete is 110 minu
Vikki [24]

Answer:

They took 4,180 minutes total to complete the course.

Step-by-step explanation:

The average time is given by the sum of each individual time of the members divided by the number of members on the group. So if we want to know the total time they took to complete the course we need to take the average and multiply it by the number of people in the group. So we have:

total time = average*number of members = 110*38 = 4180 minutes

They took 4,180 minutes total to complete the course.

Alexxx [7]

Answer:

w+d≥14

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is the full question

Morgan is working two summer jobs, washing cars and walking dogs. She must work no less than 14 hours altogether between both jobs in a given week. Write an inequality that would represent the possible values for the number of hours washing cars, w, and the number of hours walking dogs, d, that Morgan can work in a given week.

Morgan must not work less than 14 hours. This means that the least amount of hours she can work would be 14 hours. This would be represented by the greater to or equal to sign (≥)

So the time she would spend working = w+d≥14
