The employees of a firm that manufactures insulation are being tested for indications of asbestos in their lungs. The firm is re

quested to send three employees who have positive indications of asbestos to a medical center for further testing. If 30% of the employees have positive indications of asbestos in their lungs, find the probability that eleven employees must be tested in order to find three positives. (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

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.

Proportions in Triangles (2)
forsale [732]

Answer:

  x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

An angle bisector divides the segments on either side of it so they are proportional. That is ...

  x/12 = 5/10

  x = 12(5/10) = 6 . . . . . multiply by 12

What is the difference? x+5/x+2-x+1/x2+2x
Mrac [35]

Question

x+5/x+2 - x+1/x²+2x

Answer:

= (x² - 4x - 1)/[x (x+2)]

= (x² - 4x - 1)/[x² + 2x]

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 5/x + 2 - x + 1/x² + 2x

We factorise the second denominator to give us :

x + 5/x + 2 - x + 1/x(x + 2)

We find the L.C.M of both denominators which is x(x+2).

[x(x + 5)-(x + 1)] / (x (x + 2))

Expand the bracket

=[x² +5x - x -1] / [x (x + 2)]

=(x² - 4x - 1) / [x (x + 2)]

= (x² - 4x - 1)/ [x (x + 2)]

= (x² - 4x - 1) / [x² + 2x]

Find an equation of the plane orthogonal to the line
jolli1 [7]

The given line is orthogonal to the plane you want to find, so the tangent vector of this line can be used as the normal vector for the plane.

The tangent vector for the line is

d/d<em>t</em> (⟨0, 9, 6⟩ + ⟨7, -7, -6⟩<em>t </em>) = ⟨7, -7, -6⟩

Then the plane that passes through the origin with this as its normal vector has equation

⟨<em>x</em>, <em>y</em>, <em>z</em>⟩ • ⟨7, -7, -6⟩ = 0

We want the plane to pass through the point (9, 6, 0), so we just translate every vector pointing to the plane itself by adding ⟨9, 6, 0⟩,

(⟨<em>x</em>, <em>y</em>, <em>z</em>⟩ - ⟨9, 6, 0⟩) • ⟨7, -7, -6⟩ = 0

Simplifying this expression and writing it standard form gives

⟨<em>x</em> - 9, <em>y</em> - 6, <em>z</em>⟩ • ⟨7, -7, -6⟩ = 0

7 (<em>x</em> - 9) - 7 (<em>y</em> - 6) - 6<em>z</em> = 0

7<em>x</em> - 63 - 7<em>y</em> + 42 - 6<em>z</em> = 0

7<em>x</em> - 7<em>y</em> - 6<em>z</em> = 21

so that

<em>a</em> = 7, <em>b</em> = -7, <em>c</em> = -6, and <em>d</em> = 21
