The probability that an egg on a production line is cracked is 0.01. Two eggs are selected at random

Mathematics

Answer:

Probability that both eggs are cracked is 0.0001.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the probability that an egg on a production line is cracked is 0.01.

Two eggs are selected at random  from the production line.

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 trials (samples) taken = 2 eggs

            r = number of success = both eggs are cracked

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

                 an egg on a production line is cracked, i.e; p = 0.01

<u><em>Let X = Number of eggs on a production line that are cracked</em></u>

So, X ~ Binom(n = 2, p = 0.01)

Now, Probability that both eggs are cracked is given by = P(X = 2)

                P(X = 2) =  \binom{2}{2} \times 0.01^{2} \times (1-0.01)^{2-2}

                              =   1\times 0.01^{2} \times 0.99^{0}

                              =  0.0001

<em>Therefore, probability that both eggs are cracked is </em><em>0.0001</em><em>.</em>

Sixty-three less than 15 times a number is 72. what is the number?
exis [7]

Answer:

-3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

First represent this with numbers. Less means subtraction -, times means multiplication *, is means equals =.

And let's represent "a number" with x.

63 - 15x = 72

Solve for x. First subtract 63 from both sides.

-15x = 72-63

-15x = 9

x = -9/15 = <u>-3/5</u>

The line 2x + 3y = -6 intersects the x axis at (a,0) and the y axis at (0,b) what is a + b ?
USPshnik [31]
2x + 3y = -6 (Subtract 2x from both sides)
3y = -2x - 6 (Divide both sides by 3 to isolate x) which will give you y = -2/3x - 2 and this graphed would cross the x-axis at (-3,0) and the y-axis at (0, -2). So a + b = -5
