Suppose you purchase a bundle of 18 bare-root broccoli plants. The sales clerk tells you that on average you can expect 8% of th

e plants to die before producing any broccoli. Assume that the bundle is a random sample of plants. Use the binomial formula to find the probability that you will lose at most 1 of the broccoli plants.

Answer:

There is a 57.18% probability that you will lose at most 1 of the broccoli plants.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each plant, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they die, or they do not. This means that we can solve this problem using the binomial probability distribution.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

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

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinatios of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

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

And p is the probability of X happening.

In this problem, we have that

There are 18 plants, so n = 18.

8% of the plants die before producing any broccoli. So p = 0.08.

Use the binomial formula to find the probability that you will lose at most 1 of the broccoli plants.

This is

P = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)

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

P(X = 0) = C_{18,0}.(0.08)^{0}.(0.92)^{18} = 0.2229

P(X = 1) = C_{18,1}.(0.08)^{1}.(0.92)^{17} = 0.3489

P = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.2229 + 0.3489 = 0.5718

There is a 57.18% probability that you will lose at most 1 of the broccoli plants.

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{y - y1}{x - x1}  =  \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}

\frac{y - 0}{x - ( - 1)}  =  \frac{3 - 0}{1 - ( - 1)}

\frac{y}{x + 1}  =  \frac{3}{1 + 1}

\frac{y}{x + 1}  =  \frac{3}{2}

y =  \frac{3}{2} (x + 1)

y =  \frac{3}{2} x +  \frac{3}{2}

The figures are similar. Give the ratio of the perimeters and the ratio of the areas of the first figure to the second.
pickupchik [31]

Answer: first option.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the area of the triangles can be calculated as following:

ratio_{(area)}=(\frac{l_1}{l_2})^2

Where l_1 is the lenght of the given side of the smaller triangle and l_2 is the lenght of the given side of the larger triangle.

Therefore:

ratio_{(area)}=(\frac{28}{32})^2=\frac{49}{64}

It can be written as following:

ratio_{(area)}=49:64

The ratio of the perimeter is:

ratio_{(perimeter)}=\frac{l_1}{l_2}

Where l_1 is the lenght of the given side of the smaller triangle and l_2 is the lenght of the given side of the larger triangle.

Therefore:

ratio_{(perimeter)}=\frac{28}{32}=\frac{7}{8}

It can be written as following:

ratio_{(perimeter)}=7:8

Create an equation with one solution of x = −4.
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

What is missing is -5x - 20

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this, simply solve for the parenthesis as if it were a variable of its own. This will allow you to see exactly what is missing.

8x - (x - 20) = 2x - (_______)

8x - x + 20 = 2x - (_______)

7x + 20 = 2x - (_______)

5x + 20 = - (_______)

-5x - 20 = (_______)

So the answer for the parenthesis is -5x - 20

arsen [322]

Answer: P(B|A)=\dfrac{4}{9}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A bag contains 2 black balls, 4 yellow balls and 4 white balls.

Event A is defined as drawing a white ball on the first draw.

Event B is defined as drawing a black ball on the second draw.

P(B|A) is expressed as the conditional probability of occurring B given that A.

i.e. it is the probability of happening B where A is already happended.

If a white ball is drawn at first, then the number of black ball(4) remains unchanged but the total number of balls (10) will become 9.

Probability=\dfrac{Number\ of \ favorable \ outcomes}{Total\ outcomes}

Then, P(B|A)=\dfrac{4}{9}
