(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%

What is the slope of the line through (-9, 6) and (-3, 9)?<br> Choose 1 answer:
trasher [3.6K]

Given: Points (-9, 6) and (-3, 9)

Find:  The slope of the line that goes through those two points

Solution: In order to find the slope of the line that goes through the points that were provided we have to use the slope formula.  This formula subtracts the y-coordinates from each other and also the x-coordinates from each other to determine the rise/run which would give us the rate of change.

<u>Plug in the values</u>

  • m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}
  • m = \frac{9 - 6}{-3 - (-9)}

<u>Simplify the expression</u>

  • m = \frac{3}{-3 + 9}
  • m = \frac{3}{6}
  • m = \frac{1}{2}

Therefore, looking at the given options we can see that the best fitting one would be option A, 1/2.

According to the graph, what is the value of the constant in the equation
wolverine [178]

The question is missing the graph. So, it is attached below.

Answer:

(D) 3.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A graph of height versus width.

The equation given is:

Height = constant × Width

Rewriting in terms of 'constant'. This gives,

\textrm{Constant}=\frac{Height}{Width}------------- (1)  

The width is plotted on the X-axis and the corresponding height is plotted on the Y-axis.

The four points plotted on the line are:

(x, y) = (0.5, 1.6), (1, 3.2), (2, 6.4)\ and\ (3, 9.6).

Now, any point will satisfy equation (1).

Consider the point (0.5, 1.6). So, height = 1.6 and width = 0.5. Therefore,

\textrm{Constant}=\frac{Height}{Width}\\\\\textrm{Constant}=\frac{1.6}{0.5}=3.2

Also, we observe that for all the remaining points,

\dfrac{3.2}{1}=\dfrac{6.4}{2}=\dfrac{9.6}{3}=3.2.

Hence, the value of the constant is 3.2.

Option (D) is correct.
