 Let X be a discrete binomial random variable.
 Let p = 0.267 be the probability that a person does not cover his mouth when sneezing.
 Let n = 18 be the number of independent tests.
 Let x be the number of successes.
 So, the probability that the 18 individuals, 8 do not cover their mouth after sneezing will be:

 a) P (X = 8) = 18! / (8! * 10!) * ((0.267) ^ 8) * ((1-0.267) ^ (18-8)).
 P (X = 8) = 0.0506.

 b) The probability that between 18 individuals observed at random less than 6 does not cover their mouth is:

 P (X = 5) + P (X = 4) + P (X = 3) + P (X = 2) + P (X = 1) + P (X = 0) = 0.6571.

 c) If it was surprising, according to the previous calculation, the probability that less than 6 people out of 18 do not cover their mouths is 66%. Which means it's less likely that more than half of people will not cover their mouths when they sneeze.

Diane has a rope that is 8 meters long. She cuts away a piece that is 1.67 meters long. How long is the remaining piece of rope?
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

6.33 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Total length of the rope = 8 m

Cut length of the rope = 1.67 m

We need to find the remaining piece of the rope.

Remaining piece = Total length - cur length

= 8 m - 1.67 m

= 6.33 m

So, 6.33 m is the remaining piece of the rope.

light travels 3000000 scs if earth is 150 million km away from sun how many minutes it will take the light to come from sun to e
sweet-ann [11.9K]
  • Speed of light=3×10^8m/s=3×10^5km/s
  • Distance=150million km=150×10^6km

Now

\\ \rm\longmapsto Speed=\dfrac{Distance}{Time}

\\ \rm\longmapsto Time=\dfrac{Distance}{Speed}

\\ \rm\longmapsto Time=\dfrac{150\times 10^6}{3\times 10^5}

\\ \rm\longmapsto Time=50\times 10^1

\\ \rm\longmapsto Time=500s

\\ \rm\longmapsto Time=8.33min

  • Can be written as 8min 20s.
