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}

Answer:

To find the lateral surface area, we will find half of the perimeter of the base and multiply it by the slant height of the side triangles. Each triangle has a slant height. The slant height is the height of each triangle, not the height of the pyramid.
