Answer:

The probability that the customer is charged incorrectly on at most 2 items is 3.979 × 10⁻².

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the question, we note that we proceed with the binomial distribution formula as follows

Number of times the customer is incorrectly charged out of ever 10 items = 4

Therefore, the probability that the customer is incorrectly charged is 4/10 = 0.4

That is p(incorrect) = 0.4

Then the probability that the customer is charged incorrectly on at most 2 items is

P(x≤2) = P(x=0) + P(x=1) + P(x=2)

          = ₙC_r × p^r×q^{(n-r)} =

        P(x=0)   = ₁₄C₀ ×0.4⁰× 0.6¹⁴ =  7.836 × 10⁻⁴

        P(x=1)   =  ₁₄C₁ ×0.4¹× 0.6¹³ =  7.314 × 10⁻³

       P(x=2)  =   ₁₄C₂ ×0.4²× 0.6¹² =  3.169 × 10⁻²

∴ P(x≤2) = 7.836 × 10⁻⁴ + 7.314 × 10⁻³ + 3.169 × 10⁻² = 3.979 × 10⁻²

       P(x≤2) = 3.979 × 10⁻².

There is a bag filled with 3 blue and 5 red marbles.
icang [17]

Answer:

4/6 chance

One is taken at random, we do not know the colour so we just take away 1 from both colours, this leaves us with 4/6 chance.

What set of three numbers could represent the lengths of the side of a right triangle?
klemol [59]

Answer:

C.) 5, 12, 13

Step-by-step explanation:

In a right triangle, the sum of the squares of the two shorter sides must equal the square of the longest side (Pythagoras).

a² + b² = c²

We can test each set of numbers to see which one fits.

A.) 8² +  12² =   16²

    64 + 144 = 256

           208 ≠ 256

B.) 6² +  7² =  8²

   36 + 49 = 64

           85 ≠ 64

C.) 5² +  12² =   13²

    25 + 144 = 169

            169 = 169

The numbers 5, 12, and 13 could represent the lengths of the sides of a right triangle.

D.) 16² +    32² =    36²

   256 + 1024 = 1296

              1280 ≠ 1296
