P = 3s......p = # of pencils and s = # of students

if there were 16 students......so s = 16
p = 3s
p = 3(16)
p = 48 <=== 48 pencils

A sequence of Bernoulli trials consists of choosing components at random from a batch of components. A selected component is eit
Drupady [299]

Answer:

a) 0.0287 = 2.87% probability that three non-defective components in a batch of seven components.

b) 0.0336 = 3.36% probability that 8 non-defective components are drawn before the first defective component is chosen.

Step-by-step explanation:

A sequence of Bernoulli trials composes the binomial 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 combinations 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.

The probability that a selected component is non-defective is 0.8

This means that p = 0.8

a) Three non-defective components in a batch of seven components.

This is P(X = 3) when n = 7. So

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

P(X = 3) = C_{7,3}.(0.8)^{3}.(0.2)^{4} = 0.0287

0.0287 = 2.87% probability that three non-defective components in a batch of seven components.

b) 8 non-defective components are drawn before the first defective component is chosen.

Now the order is important, so the we just multiply the probabilities.

8 non-defective, each with probability 0.8, and then a defective, with probability 0.2. So

p = (0.8)^8*0.2 = 0.0336

0.0336 = 3.36% probability that 8 non-defective components are drawn before the first defective component is chosen.

7) (12 + 6)/(2 +4)
(18)/(6) = 3

8) (42 - 24)/6
(18)/6 = 3

9) (9 + 16) - (2 x 4)
25 - 8 = 17

10) 60 - (3 + 2) x 5
60 - 5 x 5
60 - 25 = 35

11) 18 + (9/3) 
18 + 3 = 21

12) 5 x (2 + 4 + 3)
5 x (9) = 45



hope this helps
