Suppose that the probability that any particle emitted by a radioactive material will penetrate a certain shield is 0.01. If 10

AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

a)P=0.42

b) $n\geq 297$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a binomial distribution, since the result of each experiment admits only two categories (success and failure) and the value of both possibilities is constant in all experiments. The probability of getting k successes in n trials is given by:

$P=\begin{pmatrix}n\\ k\end{pmatrix} p^k(1-p)^{n-k}=\frac{n!}{k!(n!-k!)}p^k(1-p)^{n-k}$

a) we have k=2, n=10 and p=0.01:

$P=\frac{10!}{2!(10!-2!)}0.01^2(1-0.01)^{10-2}\\P=\frac{10!}{2!*8!}0.01^2(0.99)^{8}\\P=45*0.01^2(0.99)^8=0.42$

b) We have, $1-(1-p)^n=P$ , Here P is the probability that at least one particle will penetrate the shield, this probabity has to be equal or greater than 0.95. Therefore, this will be equal to subtract from the total probability, the probability that the particles do not penetrate raised to the total number of particles.

$1-0.99^n\geq 0.95\\0.99^n\leq 1-0.95\\0.99^n\leq 0.05\\n\geq 297$

If gym strong charges a $350 fee and $15 a month and gym fit charges $100 fee and $24 a month, how many months would take for gy

Papessa [141]

Answer:

<em>It would take 28 months for Gym Strong to be a better buy.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two possible options for gyms to choose from:

Gym Strong charges $350 plus $15 a month

Gym Fit charges $100 plus $24 a month.

Since Gym Strong charges less per month but has a higher initial fee, there will be some time when it will be a cheaper option than Gym Fit.

Let's solve this by analyzing the differences in fixed fees and monthly fees.

The difference of fixed fees is $350 - $100 = $250

The difference on monthly fees is $24 - $15 = $9

Both gyms will charge the same total fees when have passed 250/9 = 27.7 months. Since the number of months is a whole number, we round up.

It would take 28 months for Gym Strong to be a better buy.

Winston can drive a total of 248 miles on Monday. He drove 70 fewer miles in the morning that he did in the afternoon. How many

Nookie1986 [14]

To find the answer,we can set an equation:

Let the time he used to drive in the afternoon be y miles.

Time used in the afternoon = y
Time used in morning = y - 70
Total time used = 248

The value of y:

y + (y - 70) = 248
2y-70 = 248
2y = 248+70
2y = 318
y = 318/2
y = 159

Therefore, he droved 159 miles in the afternoon.

Hope it helps!
