(14.14) larry reads that 1 out of 6 eggs contains salmonella bacteria. so he never uses more than 5 eggs in cooking. if eggs do

or don't contain salmonella independent of each other, find the probability (±±0.01) that at least 1 of larry's 5 eggs contains salmonella. rn note: please be sure you read the question as 'at least 1' and not instead just find the prob of exactly one. probability is about

we know that

The probability that "at least one" is the probability of exactly one, exactly 2, exactly 3, 4 and 5 contain salmonella.

The easiest way to solve this is to recognise that "at least one" is ALL 100% of the possibilities EXCEPT that none have salmonella.

If the probability that any one egg has 1/6 chance of salmonella

then

the probability that any one egg will not have salmonella = 5/6.

Therefore

for all 5 to not have salmonella


= (5/6)^5 = 3125 / 7776

= 0.401877 = 0.40 to 2 decimal places


REMEMBER this is the probability that NONE have salmonella


Therefore

the probability that at least one does = 1 - 0.40

= 0.60


the answer is

0.60 or 60%

Given

You created a new playlist in 100 of your friends listened to it and shared if they liked

The new playlist said the ratio Of people who liked the playlist to those who did not like the playlist is 75:25.

Dylan said that for every three people who like to playlist one person did not

Find out  Do Nadhii and Dylan Agree or not.

To proof

As given in the question

created a new playlist in 100 of your friends listened to it and shared if they liked

new playlist said the ratio Of people who liked the playlist to those who did not like the playlist is 75:25.

Simply the ratio of people who liked the playlist to those who did not like the playlist

= \frac{75}{25}

= \frac{3}{1}

Thus  

\frac{People \ like \ the \ playlist}{People \ didnot \ like \ the\ playlist}=\frac{3}{1}

also

Dylan said that for every three people who like to playlist one person did not

In the form of ratio written as

\frac{People \ like \ the \ playlist}{People \ didnot \ like \ the\ playlist}=\frac{3}{1}

the value of both new playlist  and Dylan said about the ratio of people who liked the playlist to those who did not like the playlist is 3:1.

The value both of their ratio are equivalent .

Thus Nadhii and Dylan Agree

Hence proved

Refer to the triangle below. If a = 4 and b = 6, solve for c. show work Also, give the unsimplified radical form answer and then
9966 [12]

Look at the image below where I labeled the sides

To solve this you must use Pythagorean theorem:

a^{2} +b^{2} =c^{2}

a and b are the legs (the sides that form a perpendicular/right angle)

c is the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle)

In this case...

a = 4

b = 6

c = unknown

^^^Plug these numbers into the theorem

4^{2} +6^{2} =c^{2}

simplify

16 + 36 = x^{2}

52 = x^{2}

To remove the square from x take the square root of both sides to get you...

√52 = x  

^^^Unsimplified radical

2√13

^^^Simplified radical

7.21

^^^Rounded to hundedths

Hope this helped!

Answer:

  C  log3(√((x -4)/x)

Step-by-step explanation:

The applicable rules of logarithms are ...

  log(a/b) = log(a) -log(b)

  log(a^n) = n·log(a)

The base is irrelevant, as long as all logs are to the same base.

__

  \dfrac{1}{2}(\log_3{(x-4)}-\log_3{(x)})=\dfrac{1}{2}\log_3(\dfrac{x-4}{x})=\boxed{\log_3\left(\sqrt{\dfrac{x-4}{x}}\right)}
