A box in a supply room contains 18 compact fluorescent lightbulbs, of which 6 are rated 13-watt, 8 are rated 18-watt, and 4 are

rated 23-watt. suppose that three of these bulbs are randomly selected. (round your answers to three decimal places.)

Answer:a) Probability P(exactly 2 bulbs rated 13watts)= 0.22

b) Probability(each bulb different rating)

= 0.24

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 6 13watts bulbs

8 18watts bulbs

4 23watts bulbs

Total bulbs = 18

a) Probability that all 3 bulbs are 18watts

Number of ways of pulling 3 bulbs = 18!/(3!×15!) = (6.4×10^15)/7.846×10^12) = 815 ways

Different ways of pulling 13watts bulbs out of 6 = 6!/(2!×4!)= 720/48=15ways

Different ways of pulling non 13 watts bulbs= 12!/(1!×11!) = 479,001,600/ 39,916,800 = 12

Number of ways total= 15×12=180waya

Therefore P(exactly 2 bulbs rated 13watts)= 180/815 =0.22

b) Probability P( all 3 bulbs are 1 from each rating)

Ways of pulling 3bulbs bulb each from 3 ratings are 4× 5 × 8= 192ways

Probability = 192/815 =0.24

Answer:

a) 0.103

b) 0.098

c) 0.235

d) 0.054

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of bulbs = 18

Total number of 13-watt bulbs = 6

Total number of 18-watt bulbs = 8

Total number of 23-watt bulbs = 4

Let A represent 13-watt bulbs, B represent 18-watt bulbs and C represent 23-watt bulbs.

a) Probability that exactly two of the bulbs are rated 23-watts with order not important = P(C n C n (AuB)) + P(C n (AuB) n C) + ((AuB) n C n C) = ((4/18) × (3/17) × (14/16)) + ((4/18) × (14/17) × (3/16)) + ((14/18) × (4/17) × (3/16)) = 0.103 to 3d.p

b) Probability that all 3 bulbs have the same rating = P(A n A n A) + P(B n B n B) + P(B n B n B) = (6/18 × 5/17 × 4/16) + (8/18 × 7/17 × 6/16) + (4/18 × 3/17 × 2/16) = 0.0245 + 0.0686 + 0.0049 = 0.098 to 3d.p

c) probability that one bulb of each type is selected = P(A n B n C) + P(A n C n B) + P(B n A n C) + P(B n C n A) + P(C n A n B) + P(C n B n A) = 6(P(A n B n C)) = 6 (6/18 × 8/17 × 4/16) = 6 × 0.0392 = 0.235 to 3dp

d) probability that it is necessary to examine at least 6 bulbs if bulbs are selected one by one until a 23-watt bulb is obtained

To do this, we'll group the 13 and 18 watt bulbs as one, (AuB) = A*. n(A*) = 14

Our probability = P(A* × A* × A* × A* × A* × A* × C) = (14/18 × 13/17 × 12/16 × 11/15 × 10/14 × 9/13 × 4/12) = 0.0539 = 0.054 to 3dp

Hope this helps!

Answer:

5.2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the height of the plant after 7 weeks, we need to find out the equation of the line of best fit and plug in 7 for x. We already have our y - intercept, which is 1,  and we have a point on the x axis for which the y coordinate is an integer, (5, 4). Since we already have the y - intercept of +1 we have y = mx + 1. Since this applies to (5,4) we can plug this in to our equation. This is then 4 = 5m + 1. Subtracting 1 from both sides, we get 3 = 5m. Dividing by 5, we receive m = 3/5. Since now we have our slope, we can plug in 7 and find out our answer. Plugging in 7 we receive, y = 3/5 * 7 + 1, which is equal to y = 4.2 + 1. This means that y = 5.2, so 5.2 is our answer.

A study was done that looked at how much red meat people consumed and how long they lived. The correlation r was found to be 0.9
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the correlation r was found to be 0.98 (a value closer to 1).  

Let X =how much red meat people consumed

let Y = how long they lived.

where the x-values are the values of the deviations of co-ordinates X from Xₙ, their mean value and the y-values are the values of the deviations of co-ordinates Y from Yₙ, their mean value.

That is, x=(X−Xₙ) and y=(Y−Yₙ).

The results of this determination give values of r lying between +1 and −1, where;

+1 indicates perfect direct  correlation,

−1 indicates perfect inverse correlation and

0 indicates that no correlation exists.

Between these values, the smaller the value of r, the less is the amount of correlation which exists.

Generally, values of r in the ranges 0.7 to 1 and −0.7 to −1 show that a fair amount of correlation exists.

therefore, it can be seen that there is a perfect relationship between the quantity eaten and how long the person live

But, the correlation does not consider those that does not consume meat, and it is very hard to determined the answer to the question.

the answer is false because there are other reasons that determined longevity of life apart from meat consumption.
