Answer:

48 cubes

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the volume of one 1/2 unit cube

The volume of the cube is given by

$V=b^3$

where

b is the length side of the cube

we have

$b=\frac{1}{2}\ units$

substitute

$V=(\frac{1}{2})^3$

$V=\frac{1}{8}\ units^3$

step 2

Divide the volume of the prism by the volume of one cube

$6:\frac{1}{8}=6(8)=48\ cubes$

Answer:

0.3891 = 38.91% probability that only one is a second

Step-by-step explanation:

For each globet, there are only two possible outcoes. Either they have cosmetic flaws, or they do not. The probability of a goblet having a cosmetic flaw is independent of other globets. 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.

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