What is 54 divided by 6

a certain pharmaceutical company know that, on average 4% of a certain type of pill has an ingredient that is below the minimum

FinnZ [79.3K]

Using the binomial distribution, it is found that there is a 0% probability that fewer that 5 in a sample of 20 pills will be acceptable.

For each pill, there are only two possible outcomes, either it is acceptable, or it is not. The probability of a pill being acceptable is independent of any other pill, which means that the binomial distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

The parameters are:

x is the number of successes.

n is the number of trials.

p is the probability of a success on a single trial.

In this problem:

The sample has 20 pills, hence $n = 20$ .

100 - 4 = 96% are acceptable, hence $p = 0.96$

The probability that <u>fewer that 5 in a sample of 20 pills</u> will be acceptable is:

$P(X < 5) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4)$

In which

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{20,0}.(0.96)^{0}.(0.04)^{20} = 0$

$P(X = 1) = C_{20,1}.(0.96)^{1}.(0.04)^{19} = 0$

$P(X = 2) = C_{20,2}.(0.96)^{2}.(0.04)^{18} = 0$

$P(X = 3) = C_{20,3}.(0.96)^{3}.(0.04)^{17} = 0$

$P(X = 4) = C_{20,4}.(0.96)^{4}.(0.04)^{16} = 0$

0% probability that fewer that 5 in a sample of 20 pills will be acceptable.

During their last game, the Miami Dolphins scored ͸ times for a total score of ͵Ͳ points. They scored ͹ points for each touchdow

Karolina [17]

Answer:

The Miami Dolphins had 3 touchdowns and 3 field goals.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that During their last game, the Miami Dolphins scored 6 times, for a total score of 30 points. They scored 7 points for each touchdown and 3 points for each field goal.

We need to write and solve the system of equations to find the total touchdowns and field goals scored.

Let x represents the number of touchdowns.

Let y be the number of field goals.

It is given that the Miami Dolphins scored 6 times

$x+y=6$
