Answer:
The probability that 8 mice are required is 0.2428.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : A scientist inoculates mice, one at a time, with a disease germ until he finds 3 that have contracted the disease. If the probability of contracting the disease is two sevenths.
To find : What is the probability that 8 mice are required? The probability that that 8 mice are required is nothing ?
Solution :
Applying binomial distribution,

Where, p is the probability of success 
q is the probability of failure q=1-p, 
n is total number of trials n=8
r=3
Substitute the values,




Therefore, the probability that 8 mice are required is 0.2428.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
-2/5 - 4/5 + -9/10
= -2/5 - 4/5 - 9/10
= {-2(2) -4(2) - 9)/10
= (-4 - 8 - 9)/10
= -21/10
= -2 1/10
Answer: 1500
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
15x + 180 ≥ 900
x ≥ 48
Step-by-step explanation:
x = amount of laptops needed to sell.
Equation:
15x + 180 ≥ 900
15x ≥ 720
x ≥ 48
Check:
15(48) + 180 = 900
720 + 180 = 900
900 = 900 (It's good, she needs to make at least 900, so she needs to sell at least 48 laptops).
