A food-packaging apparatus underfills 10% of the containers. Find the probability that for any particular 10 containers the numb
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

a) P(X = 1) = 0.38742

b) P(X = 3) = 0.05740

c) P(X = 9) = 0.00000

d) P(X \geq 5) = 0.00163

Step-by-step explanation:

For each container, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is undefilled, or it is not. This means that we can solve this problem using the binomial probability distribution.

Binomial probability distribution:

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

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

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

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

And p is the probability of X happening.

In this problem

There are 10 containers, so n = 10.

A food-packaging apparatus underfills 10% of the containers, so p = 0.1.

a) This is P(X = 1)

P(X = 1) = C_{10,1}.(0.1)^{1}.(0.9)^{9} = 0.38742

b) This is P(X = 3)

P(X = 3) = C_{10,3}.(0.1)^{3}.(0.9)^{7} = 0.05740

c) This is P(X = 9)

P(X = 9) = C_{10,9}.(0.1)^{9}.(0.9)^{1} = 0.00000

d) This is P(X \geq 5).

Either the number is lesser than five, or it is five or larger. The sum of the probabilities of each event is decimal 1. So:

P(X < 5) + P(X \geq 5) = 1

P(X \geq 5) = 1 - P(X < 5)

In which

P(X < 5) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4)

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

P(X = 0) = C_{10,0}.(0.1)^{0}.(0.9)^{10} = 0.34868

P(X = 1) = C_{10,1}.(0.1)^{1}.(0.9)^{9} = 0.38742

P(X = 2) = C_{10,2}.(0.1)^{2}.(0.9)^{8} = 0.1937

P(X = 3) = C_{10,3}.(0.1)^{3}.(0.9)^{7} = 0.05740

P(X = 4) = C_{10,4}.(0.1)^{1}.(0.9)^{9} = 0.38742

So

P(X < 5) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) = 0.34868 + 0.38742 + 0.19371 + 0.05740 + 0.01116 = 0.99837

Finally

P(X \geq 5) = 1 - P(X < 5) = 1 - 0.99837 = 0.00163

Does anyone know this need help
madreJ [45]

Answer:

32 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance across the river is give as x and we are interested in finding the value of x.

Both the triangles are similar by AA Postulate.

Therefore,

20/x = 10/16 (by c.s.s.t.)

2/x = 1/16

x = 16*2

x = 32 m
