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

jekas [21]

Answer:

In terms of probablity (A - appetizer oredered, B - desert ordered)

P(A)=63%

P(B)=40%

P(AorB)=76%.

Using the formula:

P(AorB)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A&B) we get P(A&B)=63%+40%-76%=27% (probability we were looking for).

PLEASE HELP, 10TH GRADE GEOMETRY (REAL ANSWERS PLSSSS)
Zina [86]

Answer:

The correct option is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the line AB divided into 7 equal parts.

It is given that point P partitions the directed line segment from A to B in 3:4. It means 3 parts are before P and 4 partes are after P.

It is given that point Q partitions the directed line segment from A to B in 4:3. It means 4 parts are before Q and 3 partes are after Q.

It is given that point R partitions the directed line segment from A to B in2:5. It means 2 parts are before R and 5 partes are after R.

It is given that point S partitions the directed line segment from A to B in 5:2. It means 5 parts are before S and 2 partes are after S.

From the below figure we can say that point S is closest to point B.

It is also written as

A

A

Therefore option 4 is correct.
