Answer: Our required probability would be 0.70.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of players = 14

Number of players have recently taken a performance enhancing drug = 3

Number of players have not recently taken a performance enhancing drug = 14-3=11

Number of members chosen randomly = 5

We need to find the probability that at least one of the tested players is found to have taken a performance enhancing drug.

P(Atleast 1) = 1 - P(none is found to have taken a performance enhancing drug)

So, P(X≥1)=1-P(X=0)

P(X\geq 1)=1-^5C_0(\dfrac{11}{14})^5\\\\P(X\geq 1)=1-(0.786)^5\\\\P(X\geq 1)=0.70

Hence, our required probability would be 0.70.

How to convert 3.248 repeating decimal with 48 repeating into a simplified fraction
Sonja [21]

Answer:

x=\frac{536}{165}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the value of 3.2484848.... infinite times

Multiply by 100

x=3.24848....\\100x = 324.8484.....

Subtract to get

100x-x = 324.8484...-3.248484....\\99x = 321.60\\x=\frac{321.6}{99} \\x=\frac{1072}{330} \\x=\frac{536}{165}

Thus the number 3.248 repeating decimal with 48 repeating in fraction form is

\frac{536}{165}
