Answer:

0.070

Step-by-step explanation:

Y = number on trial

Y has a negative binomial distribution

r = 3

P = 30% = 0.3 probability of positive indication.

P(Y = 11) probability of 11 employees that must be tested to get 3 positives

Y-1Cr-1*p^r*q^(y-r)

Y-1 = 11-1 = 10

r-1 = 3 -1 = 2

10C2 x 0.3³x0.7⁸

45x0.027x0.05764801

= 0.070

This is the probability that 11 employees must be tested to get 3 positives.

Answer:

x  ≠-8          x ≠ -2

Step-by-step explanation:

We cannot divide by zero, so the denominator cannot equal zero

X^2+6x-16≠0

Factor

(x+8) (x-2) ≠0

Using the zero product property

(x+8)  ≠0     (x-2) ≠0

x  ≠-8          x ≠ -2
