A candy company claims that 25% of the candies in its bags are colored green. Steve buys 32 bags of 32 candies, randomly selects

one candy from each, and counts the number of green candies. If there are 7, 8, or 9 green candies, Steve will conclude that the company's claim is correct. What is the probability of Steve agreeing with the company's claim? Use Excel to find the probability.

Answer:

45.88%

Step-by-step explanation:

We have in this case a binomial distribution when p = 0.25, since the probability is 25%

. The formula that we will use in excel is BINOM.DIST, separated by commas we must put the value of x, n, p and also if it is true or false. We know that n equals 32.

In this case we need to know when x = 7, 8 and 9 and add this, and thus we will obtain the probability:

P (X = 7) + P (X = 8) + P (X = 9)

Excel formulas: = BINOM.DIST (7,32,0.25, FALSE) + BINOM.DIST (8,32,0.25, FALSE) + BINOM.DIST (9,32,0.25, FALSE)

P = 0.1546 + 0.1610 + 0.1431

P = 0.4588

Probability that steve agrees with the company's claim 45.88%

Plutonium–238 has a yearly decay constant of 7.9 × 10-3. If an original sample has a mass of 15 grams, how long will it take to
eduard
The answer is 28 years

At = A0 * e^(-k * t)
At = 12 g
A0 = 15 g
k = 7.9 × 10^-3 = 0.0079 
t = ?

12 = 15 * e^(-0.0079 * t)
12/15 = e^(-0.0079 * t)
0.8 = e^(-0.0079 * t)

Logarithm both sides (because ln(e) = 1:
ln(0.8) = ln(e^(-0.0079 * t))
ln(0.8) = (-0.0079 * t) * ln(e)
-0.223 = -0.0079 * t
t = -0.223 / -0.0079
t = 28.23
t ≈ 28 years
