A company sells boxes that are 2 3/8 feet high, 3 5/8 feet long and 1 7/8 feet wide. John has a storage room that is 8 feet wide

, 10 feet deep, and 12 feet high. You may rotate the boxes so that the width and length are interchanged, but the boxes may not be laid on their sides. What is the maximum number of boxes that he may stack on top of one another?

<span>The maximum number of boxes that may be stacked on top of one another is 5 boxes. Note that the questions asks how many boxes can be stacked ON TOP of one another, not how many can fit in the storage room. Further, the boxes cannot be manipulated to change their height. Thus, to find the answer we only need 2 of the measurements given: the height of the boxes and the height of the storage unit. The height of the box is 2 3/8 feet, which can be written as 2.375 feet. The height of the storage unit is 12 feet. Simply dividing the height of the storage unit by the height of the boxes give us: 12/2.375=5.052631... Thus the maximum number of number of boxes that can be stacked is 5.</span>

There are 5 pens in a container on your desk. Among them, 3 will write well but 2 have defective ink cartridges. You will select
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Total Number of pens = 5

Number of defective pens = 2

Number of non-defective pens = 3

A.) number of defective pens selected :

X : {0, 1, 2}

It is possible that no defective pen will be selected ; 1 defective will be chosen or both pens are defective.

2.)

Defective as Success (since selecting a defective pen is the point of interest.

3.)

Since selection is done without replacement

Probability of success per selection is different for each selection ;

Number of defective = 2

Number of observations = 5

P(success on first selection) = 2/5

P(success on second selection) = 1/4

Hence, X is not well approximated by a binomial random variable.

4.) if selection is done with replacement ; then then the probability of success per selection will be the Same for each selection made. Hence, X will be well approximated by a binomial Random variable.

5.) If sampling is done without replacement, then the the hypergeometric function will be a more effective approximation.
