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 = 70, y = 21

Step-by-step explanation:

53 + 6y + 1 = 6y + 54

6y + 54 = 180

180 - 54 = 126

6y = 126

126 ÷ 6 = 21

Y = 21

21 × 6 + 1 = 127

127 = 2x - 13

127 + 13 = 140

140 ÷ 2 = 70

X = 70

Opposite angles are congruent and consecutive angles are supplementary.

Hope that helped and have a great day!
