The sale price of 3 pepper plants after a 20% discount is $3

The regular price of one pepper plant is $5 if Wes wants to buy 3 pepper plants 5x3 is 15 and since he can use a 20% off coupon on the pepper plants. 20% of 15 is 3 meaning the sale price for 3 pepper plants after using the 20% discount coupon is $3.

A soda bottling company’s manufacturing process is calibrated so that 99% of bottles are filled to within specifications, while

bija089 [108]

Answer:

The probability that the assembly line will be shut down is 0.00617.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a soda bottling company’s manufacturing process is calibrated so that 99% of bottles are filled to within specifications, while 1% is not within specification.

Every hour, 12 random bottles are taken from the assembly line and tested. If 2 or more bottles in the sample are not within specification, the assembly line is shut down for recalibration.

Let X = Number of bottles in the sample that are not within specification.

The above situation can be represented through binomial distribution;

$P(X=r)=\binom{n}{r} \times p^{r}\times (1-p)^{n-r};x=0,1,2,3,.....$

where, n = number of trials (samples) taken = 12 bottles

x = number of success = 2 or more bottles

p = probabilitiy of success which in our question is probability that

bottles are not within specification, i.e. p = 0.01

So, X ~ Binom (n = 12, p = 0.01)

Now, the probability that the assembly line will be shut down is given by = P(X $\geq$ 2)

P(X $\geq$ 2) = 1 - P(X = 0) - P(X = 1)

= $1-\binom{12}{0} \times 0.01^{0}\times (1-0.01)^{12-0}-\binom{12}{1} \times 0.01^{1}\times (1-0.01)^{12-1}$

= $1-(1 \times 1\times 0.99^{12})-(12 \times 0.01^{1}\times 0.99^{11})$

= 0.00617

Someone please help with the questions on this picture!! URGENT!!!

Answer:

A) Independent

B) Dependent

Step-by-step explanation:

A) If we take a marble out and put the marble back, it means we have restored the sample to what it was initially and thus it doesn't affect probability of making another selection.

Thus, this is an independent event.

B) A card is taken from a deck of cards without replacement and set aside. Then after that another card is taken from the first sample, this means that the first sample size has now reduced and thus the first card taken affects the probability of the second card to be picked. Thus, this is a dependent event.

A motorcycle travels north along

Sindrei [870]

Answer:

42 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

From 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. 4 hours passed, so the truck and the motorcycle were on the road for 4 hours until they met.

Motorcycle in 4 hours at a constant speed of 45 mph travelled

$45\cdot 4=180\ miles$
