Answer:
5.4 numbers of purple beads and 12.6 numbers of silver beads.
Step-by-step explanation:
Arlene makes a necklace using 14 purple beads for every 6 silver beads. So, she uses purple and silver beads in the ratio 14 : 6 = 7 : 3.
Now, the necklace contains 18 beads, then in the ratio 7 : 3, there will be numbers of purple beads and (18 - 5.4) = 12.6 numbers of silver beads. (Answer)

Answer:
a) The probability that this whole shipment will be accepted is 30%.
b) Many of the shipments with this rate of defective aspirin tablets will be rejected.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have a shipment of 3000 aspirin tablets, with a 5% rate of defects.
We select a sample of size 48 and test for defectives.
If more than one aspirin is defective, the batch is rejected.
The amount of defective aspirin tablets X can be modeled as a binomial distribution random variable, with p=0.55 and n=48
We have to calculate the probabilities that X is equal or less than 1: P(X≤1).
