Answer:

There is a 19.73% probability of seeing 4 defected batteries in a sample of 200 batteries.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each battery there are only two possible outcomes. Either they are defective, or they are not. This means that we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this problem.

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}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinatios of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

In this problem we have that:

n = 200, p = 0.02

What is the probability of seeing 4 defected batteries in a sample of 200 batteries ?

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

P(X = 4) = C_{200,4}.(0.02)^{4}.(0.98)^{196} = 0.1973

There is a 19.73% probability of seeing 4 defected batteries in a sample of 200 batteries.

A restaurant's small salt shakers contain 0.6 ounces of salt. It's large shakers hold twice as much. The shakers are filled from
Ratling [72]
First you have to multiply the 0.6 of the small shakers times two which gives us 1.2 the amount of salt of the large shakers. divide the 18.6 by 1.2 which is 15.5 the amount going into the 8 shakers. Then subtract 15.5 from 18.6 which gives us 3.1. Then you divide that by 0.6 = 5. 5 small shakers can be filled with the remaining salt.

10 people who build at the same rate can frame a house in 6 days. What fractional part of a house can 4 people frame a house in
Alina [70]

10 people who build at the same rate can frame a house in 6 days. That means it will take one person 10\times6=60 days to finish the house.

Which means that it will take 4 people \frac{60}{4}=15 days to finish the house.

So, the fractional part of the house 4 people can frame in 3 days will be \frac{3}{15}=\frac{1}{5}

Thus, Option D is the correct answer.
