First off we change the mixed numbers into an improper fraction. 
This is how we do it 
denominator x whole number + numerator. 
9 x 3 + 5 = 32/9 
8 x 1 + 7 = 15/8 
Now we can multiply. 
15 x 32 = 480 
8 x 7 = 56 
480/56 
Since this is an improper fraction we have to change it to a mixed number
This is how we do it
numerator ÷ denominator 
480 ÷ 56 = 8 32/56 
8 32/56 simplified = 8 4/7 
The answer is 8 4/7  

I hope this helps!

40/9.   you have to simply it and make it an inproper fraction so it would be 224/63 - 504/63 which simplifies to 40/9.

Samples of rejuvenated mitochondria are mutated(defective) in 1% ofcases. Suppose 15 samples are studied, and they can be consid
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

A)0.86

B)0.99

C)6.047E-13

Step-by-step explanation:

Since p = 0.01 and q= 0.99

Number of event n = 15

Using binomial expansion

A) Probability (No samples are mutated) = 15C0 (p)^0 * (q)^15

= 1*(0.01)^0*(0.99)^15 = 0.86

B)Probability (At most one sample is mutated) = 15C0 * p^0 *q^15 + 15C1 * p^1 * q^14 = 1*(0.01)^0*(0.99)^15 + 15C1 * 0.01 * 0.99^14 = 0.86 + 15*0.01*0.8687 = 0.86 + 0.13 = 0.99

C) Probability (More than half the samples are mutated) = 15C8* 0.01^8 * 0.99^7 + 15C9* 0.01^9 * 0.99^6 +15C10* 0.01^10 *0.99^5 + 15C11 * 0.01^11 * 0.99^4 + 15C12 * 0.01^12 * 0.99^3 + 15C13 * 0.01^13 * 0.99^ 2 + 15C14 * 0.01^14 * 0.99^1 + 15C15 * 0.01^15 * 0.99^0

Probability (More than half the samples are mutated) = 6E-13 + 4.71E-15 + 2.86E-17 + 1.31E-19 + 4.41E-22 + 1.03E-24 + 1.49E-27 + 1E-30 = 6.047E-13
