aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

0.9990 = 99.90% probability that at least one of them will require repairs in the first seven months.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each car, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they will require repair in the first seven months, or they will not. The probability of a car requiring repair in the first seven months is independent of other cars. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

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 certain make of car will need repairs in the first seven months is 0.9.

This means that p = 0.9A dealer sells three such cars.

A dealer sells three such cars.

This means that n = 3

What is the probability that at least one of them will require repairs in the first seven months?

Either none will require repairs, or at least one will. The sum of the probabilities of these events is decimal 1. So

P(X = 0) + P(X > 0) = 1

We want P(X > 0). So

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

In which

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

P(X = 0) = C_{3,0}.(0.9)^{0}.(0.1)^{3} = 0.001

Then

P(X > 0) = 1 - P(X = 0) = 1 - 0.001 = 0.9990

0.9990 = 99.90% probability that at least one of them will require repairs in the first seven months.

A bowl contains 5 red balls and 5 blue balls. A woman selects balls at random without looking at them. (a) How many balls must s
Alex73 [517]

Answer: 8

Step-by-step explanation: As the woman is not looking and assuming that the probability of taking a red ball is the same of a blue ball, she must select 8 balls to be sure she has at least 3 blue balls.

Because at the case of selecting 5 red balls in the first 5 selects and to have at least 3 blue ones in her hand, she will select the third blue ball at selection number 8.
