Answer:

0.9999

Step-by-step explanation:

Each bag has a total of 20 + 15 + 5 + 10 = 50 candies.

Each of the 15 kids get their own back and randomly pick 12 candies (without replacement)

First we are going to calculate the probability that they don't get any green candy.

P (not getting a green candy) = C₄₀,₁₂ /C₅₀,₁₂ .

Therefore, the probability of getting at least one candy is 1 - P(not getting a green candy)

P (getting at least one candy) = 1 - (C₄₀,₁₂/C₅₀,₁₂) = 1 - 0.0460 = 0.954

So the probability that one kid gets at least one green candy is 0.954

But now we need to find the probability that at least two of the 15 kids will each have at least one green candy.

To do this, we can use a binomial distribution where success will be getting at least one green candy with p = 0.954

Fail will be not getting a green candy with p = 1 -0.954 = 0.046.

k = 15

We need at least two kids to have success, so we can do P(at least 2 kids have success) = 1 - (P( X=0) + P (X=1))

P (X=0) =\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0\\15\end{array}\right] (0.954)^{0}(0.046)^{15}=  <u>8.737103395697172336050176 × 10⁻²¹</u>

P(X=1) = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1\\15\end{array}\right] (0.954)^{1}(0.046)^{14} = <u>2.71799890418318556801908736 × 10⁻¹⁸</u>

Therefore:

P(at least 2 kids have success) = 1 - (P( X=0) + P (X=1))

= 1 - (8.737103395697172336050176 × 10⁻²¹ + 2.71799890418318556801908736 × 10⁻¹⁸) = 0.9999

11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

y = 0.2x + 37

Step-by-step explanation:

A) Find an equation in the form y = mx + b, where x is the number of monthly minutes used and y is the total monthly of the Ringular plan.

(x, y) = (minutes, cost)

(110, 59)

(600, 157)

slope = m = dy/dx

dy/dx = change in y/change in x

m = dy/dx

m = (157 - 59)/(600-110)

m = 98/490

m = 0.2

a) the linear equation:

y - 59 = 0.2(x - 110)

y - 59 = 0.2x - 22

y = 0.2x - 22 + 59

y = 0.2x + 37

Tempestt graphs a function that has a maximum located at (-4, 2). Which could be her graph?
son4ous [18]

Answer:

Here's what I get  

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume the function is a parabola.

The function has a maximum, so the parabola opens downward.

The maximum is at (-4,2), so the maximum is in the second quadrant.

The figure may look like the diagram below.

A restaurant needs pound 7/8 of cinnamon. The price of cinnamon is $20 per pound. How much does the restaurant spend on cinnamon
Lorico [155]

Answer:

$17.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply 7/8 by 20/1, to find 7/8 of $20.00.

7/8 × 20/1 = 140/8

140 ÷ 8 = 17.5

Once you convert to money, this is $17.50.
