Answer:

0.9855 or 98.55%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of each individual match being flawed is p = 0.008. The probability that a matchbox will have one or fewer matches with a flaw is the same as the probability of a matchbox having exactly one or exactly zero matches with a flaw:

P(X\leq 1)=P(X=0)+P(X=1)\\P(X\leq 1)=(1-p)^{23}+23*(1-p)^{23-1}*p\\P(X\leq 1)=(1-0.008)^{23}+23*(1-0.008)^{23-1}*0.008\\P(X\leq 1)=0.8313+0.1542\\P(X\leq 1)=0.9855

The probability  that a matchbox will have one or fewer matches with a flaw is 0.9855 or 98.55%.

Step-by-step explanation:

∠UST=2 m∠2

10x+10=2(6x-1)

10x+10=12x-2

12x-10x=10+2

2x=12

x=6

m∠UST=10×6+10=70°

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

c. 61.25 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

The margin of error in estimating the true mean weight of male baluga whales in the Artic Ocean.

a. 15.31 kg

b. 51.40 kg

c. 61.25 kg

d. 80.49 kg

Margin of Error Formula= z × Standard deviation/√n

95% confidence interval = 1.96

Standard deviation = 125kg

n = 16 samples

Margin of error= 1.96 × 125/√16

= 1.96 × 125/4

= 245/4

= 61.25kg

The margin of error in estimating the true mean weight of male baluga whales in the Artic Ocean is 61.25kg
