Answer:

A. 0.009899

B. 0.005624

Step-by-step explanation:

Data:

Let the probability that an item is defective = $\frac{1}{100}$

The probability that the item is not defective = $\frac{99}{100}$

The probability that the fifth item is defective = $\frac{1}{100}* \frac{98}{99}$

= 0.009899

Probability that one in 5 items is defective = 0.005624

Which probability distribution table corresponds with this frequency distribution table

nlexa [21]

Answer:

$\begin{array}{cccccc}x&1&2&3&4&5\\f&0.2&0.3&0.05&0.2&0.25\end{array}$

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the sum

$\sum f=4+6+1+4+5=20.$

Now, find the probabilities:

$Pr(x=1)=\dfrac{4}{20}=\dfrac{1}{5}=0.2;$
$Pr(x=2)=\dfrac{6}{20}=\dfrac{3}{10}=0.3;$
$Pr(x=3)=\dfrac{1}{20}=0.05;$
$Pr(x=4)=\dfrac{4}{20}=\dfrac{1}{5}=0.2;$
$Pr(x=5)=\dfrac{5}{20}=\dfrac{1}{4}=0.25.$

Hence, the frequency distribution table is

$\begin{array}{cccccc}x&1&2&3&4&5\\f&0.2&0.3&0.05&0.2&0.25\end{array}$

Farmer Ben has only ducks and cows. He can’t remember how many of each he has, but he doesn’t need to remember because he knows

Maru [420]

Answer:

12 cows - 48 legs

4 ducks- 8 legs

- there are many different numbers you can do but if you want to change the numbers and have more ducks then: for every one cow you take away two more ducks.

Step-by-step explanation:

22 total animals

56 total legs

ducks have 2 legs

cows have 4 legs

12 times 4 = 48 ( 12 cows with 4 legs each cow = 48 legs)

4 times 2 = 8 ( 4 ducks with 2 legs each duck = 8 legs)

What are the intercepts of y=4x-2?

pshichka [43]

First, solve for the x - intercept. To do so, equate y to 0 and solve for x.

0 = 4x - 2, x = 1/2

Second, solve for the y - intercept. Equate x to 0 which will give us,

y = (4)(0) -2, y = -2

Therefore, the x-intercept is 1/2 and y-intercept is -2.

How many solutions does the equation y + 12 = y + 10 + 2 have?

coldgirl [10]

Infinitely many, because if you simplified the right side, it would equal the left side.
