A company that produces fine crystal knows from experience that 13% of its goblets have cosmetic flaws and must be classified as

Kisachek [45]

Answer:

(a) The probability that only one goblet is a second among six randomly selected goblets is 0.3888.

(b) The probability that at least two goblet is a second among six randomly selected goblets is 0.1776.

(c) The probability that at most five must be selected to find four that are not seconds is 0.9453.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X = number of seconds in the batch.

The probability of the random variable X is, p = 0.31.

The random variable X follows a Binomial distribution with parameters n and p.

The probability mass function of X is:

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

(a)

Compute the probability that only one goblet is a second among six randomly selected goblets as follows:

$P(X=1)={6\choose 1}0.13^{1}(1-0.13)^{6-1}\\=6\times 0.13\times 0.4984\\=0.3888$

Thus, the probability that only one goblet is a second among six randomly selected goblets is 0.3888.

(b)

Compute the probability that at least two goblet is a second among six randomly selected goblets as follows:

P (X ≥ 2) = 1 - P (X < 2)

$=1-{6\choose 0}0.13^{0}(1-0.13)^{6-0}-{6\choose 1}0.13^{1}(1-0.13)^{6-1}\\=1-0.4336+0.3888\\=0.1776$

Thus, the probability that at least two goblet is a second among six randomly selected goblets is 0.1776.

(c)

If goblets are examined one by one then to find four that are not seconds we need to select either 4 goblets that are not seconds or 5 goblets including only 1 second.

P (4 not seconds) = P (X = 0; n = 4) + P (X = 1; n = 5)

$={4\choose 0}0.13^{0}(1-0.13)^{4-0}+{5\choose 1}0.13^{1}(1-0.13)^{5-1}\\=0.5729+0.3724\\=0.9453$

Thus, the probability that at most five must be selected to find four that are not seconds is 0.9453.

In January, Mr Tan's students read 20 books. In Febuary, they read 15 books. What is the percent increase or decrease in the num

vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

D. 25% decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it's clear that they read less books to find how much it decreased we multiply 100 with 15 then divide it by 20

100 × 15 ÷ 20 = 75 this result shows a 25% decrease.

A radio station ordered hats and coffee mugs to give away as prizes. A total of 1,000 of these items were ordered, and 3 times a

marshall27 [118]

Answer:

The options are not shown, so i will answer in a general way.

Let's define the variables:

h = number of hats

m = number of mugs.

We know that a total of 1000 items were ordered, then:

h + m = 1000

We also know that we have 3 times more mugs than hats, this can be written as:

m = 3*h

Now we have the system of equations:

h + m = 1000

m = 3*h

To solve these, we usually start by isolating one of the variables in one equation and then replace that in the other equation, but in this case, we already have m isolated in the second equation, then we can replace that in the first equation to get:

h + m = 1000

h + (3*h) = 1000

Now we can solve this equation for h, and find the number of hats ordered.

4*h = 1000

h = 1000/4 = 250

There were 250 hats ordered.

What is a vertical angle and what is a adjacent angle

malfutka [58]

A vertical angle are angles that are directly opposite of each other, and are the same angle length.

adjacent angles are angles that are next to each other, and should equal 180° when added together

hope this helps
