Answer:

Correct option: A. P=0.057

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Binomial Distribution</u>

The binomial distribution fits the case of n independent events each one with a probability of success equal to p where k successes have been achieved.

The PMF (Probability Mass Function) of the binomial distribution is

\displaystyle P(k,n,p)=\binom{n}{k}p^kq^{n-k}

Where q = 1-p

The individual probability that an electronic device does not function properly is p=0.1. We know n=10 devices have been bought and we want to compute the probability that 7 devices function properly. Please notice that this is not the value of k since p is the probability of failure. The correct value of k=10-7=3. The required probability is

\displaystyle P(3,10,0.1)=\binom{10}{3}0.1^30.9^{10-3}

\boxed{P=0.057}

The length of the rectangular tennis court at wimbledon is 6 feet longer than twice the width. if the court's perimeter is 240 f
KATRIN_1 [288]

Length (L): 2w + 6

width (w): w

Perimeter (P) = 2L + 2w

               240 = 2(2w + 6) + 2(w)

               240 = 4w + 12 + 2w

               240 = 6w + 12

               228 = 6w

                 38 = w

Length (L): 2w + 6   = 2(38) + 6   = 76 + 6   = 82

Answer: width = 38 ft, length = 82 ft

What is 2 plus 2 minus 17
nataly862011 [7]

<em>The result is -13</em>

<h2>Explanation:</h2><h2 />

Here we have the following addition problem:

2+2-17

So let's solve this step by step:

Step 1. Perform two plus two.

2+2=4

So:

2+2-17=4-17

Step 2. Perform the subtraction.

Since the sign (-) accompanies 17 which is greater than 4, then we perform the subtraction and add the sign (-) to the result. So:

2+2-17=4-17=-13

<em>Finally, the result is -13</em>
