Suppose that Stephen is the quality control supervisor for a food distribution company. A shipment containing many thousands of

apples has just arrived. Unknown to Stephen, 12% of the apples are damaged due to bruising, worms, or other defects. If Stephen samples 10 apples from the shipment, use the binomial distribution to estimate the probability that his sample will contain at least one damaged apple Give your answer as a decimal precise to at least four decimal places

Answer:

probability that his sample will contain at least one damaged apple (P) = 0.7215

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Probability of damaged apples (p) = 12% = 0.12

number of samples (n) = 10

Consider,

x- number of apples damaged.

Using Binomial distribution formula:

P(x) = (nCx) (P)^x (1-p)^(n-x)

To find the probability that his sample will contain at least one damaged apple:

P(x≥1) = 1 - P(x<1)

          = 1 - P(x=0)

          = 1 - 10C_0 (0.12)^0 ( 1-0.12)^(10)

P(x≥1)  = 0.7215

It should be d. , Because if you take the equation 3x+y=9, and make it slope intercept form, it would be y= -3x+9. -3 is the slope, and 9 is the y intercept. D is the answer.

Find the degree of this polynomial? <br> 13-4ab+5a^3b
Anastasy [175]
Let's take a peek of each term, to be specific, the exponent of the variables only, to see what degree each term is

\bf 13-4ab+5a^3b\quad &#10;\begin{cases}&#10;13\impliedby \textit{no variable, degree is 0}\\&#10;4ab\to 4a^1b^1\impliedby \textit{1+1, degree is 2}\\&#10;5a^3b\to 5a^3b^1\impliedby\textit{3+1, degree is 4}&#10;\end{cases}

so...which term has the highest degree? well, that one, is the degree of the polynomial
