The probability that a lab specimen contains high levels of contamination is 0.10. A group of 4 independent samples are checked.

Round your answers to four decimal places (e.g. 98.7654). (a) What is the probability that none contain high levels of contamination? (b) What is the probability that exactly one contains high levels of contamination? (c) What is the probability that at least one contains high levels of contamination?

Answer:

a) 0.6561

b) 0.2916

c) 0.3439    

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information:

Let us treat high level of contamination as our success.

p = P(High level of contamination) = P(success) = 0.10

n = 4

The, by binomial distribution:

P(X=x) = \binom{n}{x}.p^x.(1-p)^{n-x}\\\text{where x is the number of success}

a) P(No high level of contamination)

We put x = 0, in the formula.

P(X=0) = \binom{4}{0}.(0.10)^0.(1-0.10)^{4} =0.6561

Probability that no lab specimen contain high level of contamination is 0.6561

b) P(Exactly one high level of contamination)

We put x = 1, in the formula.

P(X=1) = \binom{4}{1}.(0.10)^1.(1-0.10)^{3} =0.2916

Probability that no lab specimen contain high level of contamination is 0.6561

c) P(At least one contains high level of contamination)

p(x \geq 1) = 1 - p( x = 0) = 1 - 0.6561 = 0.3439

Probability that at least 1 lab specimen contain high level of contamination is 0.3439

Which expression is equivalent to the following complex fraction?
user100 [1]

The equivalent expression of (1 + \frac{1}{y}) \div (1-\frac 1y) is \frac{y + 1}{y-1}

<h3>How to determine the equivalent fraction?</h3>

The fraction is given as:

(1 + \frac{1}{y}) \div (1-\frac 1y)

Take the LCM

\frac{y + 1}{y} \div \frac{y-1}y

Express as products

\frac{y + 1}{y} \times \frac{y}{y-1}

Evaluate the product

\frac{y + 1}{y-1}

Hence, the equivalent expression of (1 + \frac{1}{y}) \div (1-\frac 1y) is \frac{y + 1}{y-1}

kozerog [31]

Twice the difference of a number and 3 is at most 27

2*(n-3) <=27


to solve

distribute

2n -6 <=27

add 6 to each side

2n <=33

divide by 2

n <=33/2

n<= 16 1/2
