Answer:

a) 0.1707

b) 0.4247

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a binomial distribution problem

There are 4 cellular phones, 4 cordless phones and 4 cellular phones.

a) Binomial distribution function is represented by

P(X = x) = ⁿCₓ pˣ qⁿ⁻ˣ

n = total number of sample spaces = 8 phones to be serviced

x = Number of successes required = 4 cordless phones

p = probability of success = probability of a cordless phone amongst the phones to be serviced = 4/12 = (1/3)

q = probability of failure = probability of other phones = 1 - (1/3) = (2/3)

P(X = 4) = ⁸C₄ (1/3)⁴ (2/3)⁸⁻⁴ = 0.1707

b) probability that after servicing eight of these phones, phones of only two of the three types remain to be serviced

This probability is equal to the sum of probabilities that

- exactly 4 cordless phones and others

- exactly 4 corded phones and others

- exactly 4 cellular phones and others

Are serviced,

Minus the probability that

- exactly 4 cordless phones and 4 corded phones

- exactly 4 cordless phones and 4 cellular phones

- exactly 4 cellular phones and 4 corded phones

Are serviced

Probability = 0.1707 + 0.1707 + 0.1707 - 3(0.1707×0.1707) = 0.5121 - 0.087415 = 0.4247

You have 60 ft of fence to make a rectangular vegetable garden alongside the wall of your house. The wall of the house bounds on
kicyunya [14]

Answer:

400 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

The maximum area of a rectangle results from it being a square. The rectangle (or square) must have 4 equal sides in order to maximize area. But in this case, one side is a wall. That means that the remaining three sides will be = 60 / 3 = 20 feet long. You formed an square that is 20 ft x 20 ft = 400 ft²

A booklet is made from 6 rectangular pieces of paper. Each piece measures 297mm by 420mm. The mass of paper is 80g per m^2. What
liq [111]
Alright, so the area of one paper is 297mm*420mm=124740mm^2. Multiplying that by 6 due to 6 sheets, we get 748440mm^2. Converting mm^2 to m^2, since we know that 1000mm=1m, we simply do (1m/1000m)^2=1m^2/1,000,000mm^2. Our equation is now
748440mm^2*1m^2/1,000,000mm^2=0.748440m^2 by crossing out the millimeters. Lastly, since it's 80g/1m^2, we multiply our number by that to get 59.8752g
