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

How to use the Pythagorean theorem to provee if a triangle with the side lengths 7,14,28 is a right triangle. Plz help
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer: find the answer in the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

To use the Pythagorean theorem to prove if a triangle with the side lengths 7,14,28 is a right triangle, you will square 7 and add it to the square of 14. The square root of the sum will be equal to 28 if it is a right angle triangle. Otherwise, it is not.

(7^2 + 14^2) = 49 + 196

245

Find the square root of 245

Square root = 15.65

Since it is not 24, the triangle is not a right angle triangle.

three friends go to a book fair . alvin speends 2.60 . prabhjot spends 4 times as much as alvin . stephanie spends 3.45 less the
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

6.95

Step-by-step explanation:

to find how much stephanie spends for first we will find how much probhjot spends and then subtract 3.45 dollars from that value alvin spends 2.60 dollars

prohbjot spends 4 times as much as alvin or

4× 2.60=10.4

so prohbjot spends 10.4 dollars

stephanie spends3.45 dollars less than prohbjot or

10.4 -3.45 =6.95

so stephanie spends <u>6.95 </u>dollars
