Laura is baking a cake. The recipe says that she has to mix 64 grams of chocolate powder to the flour. Laura knows that 1 cup of

that particular chocolate powder has a mass of 128 grams. She added 2/3 cups of chocolate powder to the flour. Should Laura add more chocolate powder to make the exact recipe, or did she go over and by what amount?

To make 1 recipe, Laura needs
  (64 grams)/(128 grams/cup) = (1/2) cup

2/3 cup is more than 1/2 cup, so Laura went over by the amount of
  2/3 c - 1/2 c = 4/6 c - 3/6 c = 1/6 c

A boiler has five identical relief valves. The probability that any particular valve will open on demand is 0.93. Assume indepen
noname [10]

Answer:

There is a 99.99998% probability that at least one valve opens.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each valve there are only two possible outcomes. Either it opens on demand, or it does not. This means that we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this problem.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinatios of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

In this problem we have that:

n = 5, p = 0.93

Calculate P(at least one valve opens).

This is P(X \geq 1)

Either no valves open, or at least one does. The sum of the probabilities of these events is decimal 1. So:

P(X = 0) + P(X \geq 1) = 1

P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)

So

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 0) = C_{5,0}.(0.93)^{0}.(0.07)^{5} = 0.0000016807

Finally

P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0) = 1 - 0.0000016807 = 0.9999983193

There is a 99.99998% probability that at least one valve opens.
