A candy company claims that 20% of the candies in its bags are colored green. Steve buys 30 bags of 30 candies, randomly selects

one candy from each, and counts the number of green candies. If there are 5, 6, or 7 green candies, Steve will conclude that the company’s claim is correct. What is the probability of Steve agreeing with the company’s claim? Use a TI-83, TI-83 plus, or TI-84 calculator to find the probability.

Answer:

The probability of Steve agreeing with the company’s claim is 0.50502.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let <em>X</em> denote the number of green candies.

The probability of green candies is, <em>p</em> = 0.20.

Steve buys 30 bags of 30 candies, randomly selects one candy from each, and counts the number of green candies.

So, <em>n</em> = 30 candies are randomly selected.

All the candies are independent of each other.

The random variable <em>X</em> follows a binomial distribution with parameter <em>n</em> = 30 and <em>p</em> = 0.20.

It is provided that if there are 5, 6, or 7 green candies, Steve will conclude that the company’s claim is correct.

Compute the probability of 5, 6 and 7 green candies as follows:

P(X=5)={30\choose 5}(0.20)^{5}(1-0.20)^{30-5}=0.17228\\\\P(X=6)={30\choose 6}(0.20)^{6}(1-0.20)^{30-6}=0.17946\\\\P(X=7)={30\choose 7}(0.20)^{7}(1-0.20)^{30-7}=0.15328

Then the probability of Steve agreeing with the company’s claim is:

P (Accepting the claim) = P (X = 5) + P (X = 6) + P (X = 7)

                                       = 0.17228 + 0.17946 + 0.15328

                                       = 0.50502

Thus, the probability of Steve agreeing with the company’s claim is 0.50502.

A company policy requires that for every 30 employees, there must be 3 supervisors. If there are 267 supervisors at the company,
Alexus [3.1K]

267 supervisors will have 2670 employees.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of employees.

Given,

3 supervisors = 30 employees

1 supervisor = \frac{30}{3}

1 supervisor = 10 employees

As one supervisor has 10 employees, 267 supervisors will have;

x = 267*10

x= 2670 employees

267 supervisors will have 2670 employees.

A carpenter bought 750 nails. Each nail has a mass of 5.2×10−3 kilogram. What is the total mass, in kilograms, of the nails the
lawyer [7]

The total mass, in kilograms, of the nails the carpenter bought is 3.9 kilogram

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that carpenter bought 750 nails

Each nail has a mass of 5.2 \times 10^{-3} kilogram

To find: total mass, in kilograms of the nails bought

The total mass of the nails bought can be found out by multiplying number of nails bought by mass of each nail

Number of nails bought = 750

Mass of each nail = 5.2 \times 10^{-3} kilogram

total mass of the nails bought = number of nails bought x mass of each nail

\text {total mass of the nails bought }=750 \times 5.2 \times 10^{-3}

\text {total mass of the nails bought }=3900 \times 10^{-3}=\frac{3900}{1000}=3.9

Thus the total mass of nails bought is 3.9 kilogram

Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

After 460 calls plan 1 is more economical than plan 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Plan 1: 36x + 0y

Plan 2: 13x + 0.05y

36x < 13x + 0.05y

36x - 13x < 0.05y

23x < 0.05y

23/0.05x < y

460x < y

Mom is 60 years old and daughter is half mom's age. How old was daughter when mom was 4 times her age?
rewona [7]

Answer:

  10 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference in ages is 60 -30 = 30 years. When mom was 4 times daughter's age, the difference in their ages was 3 times the daughter's age.

The age difference was 30 years at that time, so the daughter was 10 years old.
