Answer:

(a) The probability that of the 5 eggs selected exactly 5 are unspoiled is 0.0531.

(b) The probability that of the 5 eggs selected 2 or less are unspoiled is 0.3959.

(c) The probability that of the 5 eggs selected more than 1 are unspoiled is 0.8747.

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is:

A really bad carton of 18 eggs contains 8 spoiled eggs. An unsuspecting chef picks 5 eggs at random for his “Mega-Omelet Surprise.” Find the probability that the number of unspoiled eggs among the 5 selected is

(a) exactly 5

(b) 2 or fewer

(c) more than 1.

Let <em>X</em> = number of unspoiled eggs in the bad carton of eggs.

Of the 18 eggs in the bad carton of eggs, 8 were spoiled eggs.

The probability of selecting an unspoiled egg is:

P(X)=p=\frac{10}{18}=0.556

A randomly selected egg is unspoiled or not is independent of the others.

It is provided that a chef picks 5 eggs at random.

The random variable <em>X</em> follows a Binomial distribution with parameters <em>n</em> = 5 and <em>p</em> = 0.556.

The success is defined as the selection of an unspoiled egg.

The probability mass function of <em>X</em> is given by:

P(X=x)={5\choose x}(0.556)^{x}(1-0.556)^{5-x};\ x=0,1,2,3...

(a)

Compute the probability that of the 5 eggs selected exactly 5 are unspoiled as follows:

P(X=5)={5\choose 5}(0.556)^{5}(1-0.556)^{5-5}\\=1\times 0.05313\times 1\\=0.0531

Thus, the probability that of the 5 eggs selected exactly 5 are unspoiled is 0.0531.

(b)

Compute the probability that of the 5 eggs selected 2 or less are unspoiled as follows:

P (X ≤ 2) = P (X = 0) + P (X = 1) + P (X = 2)

              =\sum\imits^{2}_{x=0}{{5\choose 5}(0.556)^{5}(1-0.556)^{5-5}}\\=0.0173+0.1080+0.2706\\=0.3959

Thus, the probability that of the 5 eggs selected 2 or less are unspoiled is 0.3959.

(c)

Compute the probability that of the 5 eggs selected more than 1 are unspoiled as follows:

P (X > 1) = 1 - P (X ≤ 1)

              = 1 - P (X = 0) - P (X = 1)

              =1-\sum\limits^{1}_{x=0}{{5\choose 5}(0.556)^{5}(1-0.556)^{5-5}}\\=1-0.0173-0.1080\\=0.8747

Thus, the probability that of the 5 eggs selected more than 1 are unspoiled is 0.8747.

What is the vertex of the graph of y = x2 + 4x?<br> (–2, –12)<br> (–2, –8)<br> (–2, –6)<br> (–2, –4)
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer: The vertex of the parabola (quadratic function) is (-2,-4)

Fourth option: (-2,-4)


Solution:

y=x^2+4x

y=ax^2+bx+c; a=1, b=4, c=0

Vertex: V=(h,k)

h=-b/(2a)

h=-4/(2(1))

h=-4/2

h=-2

y=x^2+4x

k=y=h^2+4h

k=(-2)^2+4(-2)

k=4-8

k=-4

Vertex: V=(h,k)

Vertex: V=( -2, -4)

xenn [34]

Answer:

180cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

split it into 2 different triangles one is 24 x 4 and the other is 24 x 11 then add them together

24 x 4 is 96/2 is 48

24 x 11 is 264/2 is 132

add 48 + 132 to get an answer of 180 cm^2

if anything doesnt seem right just comment and i will try and figure out what has gone wrong

hope this helps :)
