Answer:

0.7455

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we note that there are CC_{12|3} = 220 ways of selecting the defective items.

The probability that the inspector will have to test at least 9 widgets would be 1 minus the probability that the inspector will have to test 8 or less widgets.

This is 1 - P(8 or less widgets have to be checked)

1 - \frac{C_{8|3} }{C_{12|3} }

= 1 - 56/220

= 1 - 0.2545

= 0.7455

Answer:

P[x\geq 9] = 0.0003971

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

n =  12

Defective widget probability is p = \frac{3}{12} = 0.25

q = 1 - p = 0.75

Probability of test atleast 9 widget is calculated by binomial distribution as

P[x\geq 9] = P(9) + P(10) +P(11) + P(12)

=\sum_{X =9}^{12} ^12C_x p^x q^{12-x}

= \sum_{X =9}^{12} ^12C_x (0.25)^x (0.75)^{12-x}

= \sum_{X =9}^{12} ^{12}C_9 (0.25)^9 (0.75)^{3} +\sum{x=9}{12} ^{12}C_{10} (0.25)^{10} (0.75)^{2} + \sum{x=9}{12} ^{12}C_{11} (0.25)^{11} (0.75)^{1}  +\sum{x=9}{12} ^{12}C_{12} (0.25)^{12} (0.75)^{0}

= 0.003541 + 0.000354+ 0.0000021 + 0.0000001

= 0.0003971

P[x\geq 9] = 0.0003971

Which equation can be used to find the solution of (1/4)^y+1=64?
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

−y−1=3

Step-by-step explanation:

Which equation can be used to find the solution of (1/4)^y+1=64?

This can be solved by power of indices

(1/4)^(y+1)=64

(4^-1)^(y + 1)= 4^3

Note

(x^a)^b = x^ab

Hence:

4^(-1)(y + 1)= 4^3

4^-y - 1 = 4^3

Divide both sides by 4

−y−1=3

Hence, the equation that can be used to find the solution of (1/4)^y+1=64 is

−y−1=3

Solve -2x + 6 = -20. -7 -13 7 13
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

13

Step-by-step explanation:

-2x + 6 = -20

Step 1 subtract 6 from both sides

6 - 6 cancels out

-20 - 6 = -26

We now have -2x = -26

Step 2 divide both sides by -2

-2x/-2 = x

-26/-2 = 13

We're left with x = 13
