Answer:
probability that all of the sprinklers will operate correctly in a fire: 0.0282
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to solve this question we will use Binomial probability distribution because:
- In the question it is given that the sprinklers activate correctly or not independently.
- The number of outcomes are two i.e. sprinklers activate correctly or not.
A binomial distribution is a probability of a success or failures outcomes in an repeated multiple or n times.
Number of outcomes of this distributions are two.
The formula is:
b(x; n, P) =
b = binomial probability also represented as P(X=x)
x =no of successes
P = probability of a success on a single trial
n = no of trials
is calculated as:
= n! / x!(n – x)!
= 10! / 10!(10-10)!
= 1
According to given question:
probability of success i.e. p = 0.7 i.e. probability of a sprinkler to activate correctly.
number of trials i.e. n = 10 as number of sprinklers are 10
To find: probability that all of the sprinklers will operate correctly in a fire
X = 10 because we have to find the probability that "all" of the sprinklers will operate correctly and there are 10 sprinklers so all 10 of them
So putting these into the formula:
P(X=x) =
= C₁₀,₁₀ * 0.7¹⁰ * (1-0.7)¹⁰⁻¹⁰
= 1 * 0.0282 * (0.3) ⁰
= 1 * 0.0282 * 1
P(X=x) = 0.0282
Answer:
It costs $0.216 to make smaller can and $0.324 to make larger can
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
The ratio of the surface areas = 4:9
Area of smaller cans = 36 sq in
Cost = $0.006 per square inch
To Find:
how much does it cost to make each can = ?
Solution:
Lets the area of the larger can be x
the ratio is 4 : 9
then 4x = 9.(36)
4x = 216
x = 54
The area of the larger can is 54 sq in
Now the cost of making the smaller can = = $0.216
The cost of making the Larger can = =$0.324
