Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the given polynomial is

$3u + 12 {u}^{2} - 7 {u}^{3} + 1$

We then rewrite in decreasing powers of u, to get:

$- 7 {u}^{3} + 12 {u}^{2} + 3u + 1$

The leading term is

$- 7 {u}^{3}$

The leading coefficient is the coefficient of the leading term.

The leading coefficient is -7.

Crank

Answer:

180

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Write a proportion.

$\frac{6}{2\\}$ = $\frac{x}{60}$

2. Cross multiply.

6x60=360

360/2=180

x=180

1. Write a proportion.

$\frac{6}{2}$ = $\frac{x}{60}$

If you look at the bottom, since 2 times 30 is 60, 6 times 30 is 180, making the fractions equal.

A really bad carton of eggs contains spoiled eggs. An unsuspecting chef picks eggs at random for his ""Mega-Omelet Surprise."" F

Dima020 [189]

Answer:

(a) The probability that of the 5 eggs selected exactly 5 are unspoiled is 0.0531.

(b) The probability that of the 5 eggs selected 2 or less are unspoiled is 0.3959.

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is:

A really bad carton of 18 eggs contains 8 spoiled eggs. An unsuspecting chef picks 5 eggs at random for his “Mega-Omelet Surprise.” Find the probability that the number of unspoiled eggs among the 5 selected is

(a) exactly 5

(b) 2 or fewer

Let X = number of unspoiled eggs in the bad carton of eggs.

Of the 18 eggs in the bad carton of eggs, 8 were spoiled eggs.

The probability of selecting an unspoiled egg is:

$P(X)=p=\frac{10}{18}=0.556$

A randomly selected egg is unspoiled or not is independent of the others.

It is provided that a chef picks 5 eggs at random.

The random variable X follows a Binomial distribution with parameters n = 5 and p = 0.556.

The success is defined as the selection of an unspoiled egg.

The probability mass function of X is given by:

$P(X=x)={5\choose x}(0.556)^{x}(1-0.556)^{5-x};\ x=0,1,2,3...$

(a)

Compute the probability that of the 5 eggs selected exactly 5 are unspoiled as follows:

$P(X=5)={5\choose 5}(0.556)^{5}(1-0.556)^{5-5}\\=1\times 0.05313\times 1\\=0.0531$

Thus, the probability that of the 5 eggs selected exactly 5 are unspoiled is 0.0531.

(b)

Compute the probability that of the 5 eggs selected 2 or less are unspoiled as follows:

P (X ≤ 2) = P (X = 0) + P (X = 1) + P (X = 2)

$=\sum\imits^{2}_{x=0}{{5\choose 5}(0.556)^{5}(1-0.556)^{5-5}}\\=0.0173+0.1080+0.2706\\=0.3959$

Thus, the probability that of the 5 eggs selected 2 or less are unspoiled is 0.3959.

(c)

Compute the probability that of the 5 eggs selected more than 1 are unspoiled as follows:

P (X > 1) = 1 - P (X ≤ 1)

= 1 - P (X = 0) - P (X = 1)

$=1-\sum\limits^{1}_{x=0}{{5\choose 5}(0.556)^{5}(1-0.556)^{5-5}}\\=1-0.0173-0.1080\\=0.8747$

Thus, the probability that of the 5 eggs selected more than 1 are unspoiled is 0.8747.
