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

Write an equation of the line that passes through (0, 4) and (0, -3)
andreev551 [17]

Answer: Slope is undefined. x=0

slope calculation: -3-4/0-0 = -7/0 and anything divided by 0 is undefined

the x value in the coordinates is 0 so it’s x=0 line.

vertical lines always have undefined slopes

UW= 2 and UX=y. Write an expression for WX
Eddi Din [679]
Divide each term by U and simplify. X=y/U and W=2/U. Next, solve the equation for y. Simplify the left side then cancel the common factor of U. 1/1*y/1=y

W=2/U. Multiply 1/1*y/1=y/1 so, y/1=y and W=2/U. Next, divide y/y to get 1 now y=y, still W=2/U. Now, move all terms containing y to the left side.  Since, Y contains the variable to solve for, move it to the left side of the equation by subtracting y from both sides. Now, y-y=0 still W=2/U.  Next, subtract y from y to get zero and still W=2/U.  Subtract y from y to get zero or 0=0 and W=2/U is your expression since 0=0.


Next: UW=m and WX=y+14  write expression for UX

First, divide each term by W and simplify. U=m/W, WX=y+14. Next, solve the equation for Y. Move y from the right side of the equation to the left side. Still, U=m/W and y=-14+WX.  We must reorder -14 and WX. U=m/w and y=WX-14.
Replace the variable U with m/W in the expression to (m/W)X. Next, simplify (m/W)X. Now, write X and a fraction with denominator 1. Looks like this
fractions are side by side m/W X/1 . Multiply, m/W and X/1 to get mX/W.
mX/W is your final expression for UW=m and WX=y+14 expression for UX.

8=1/3(a+5)<br><br> Please help and thank you :)
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

a=19

Step-by-step explanation:

First we have to distribute the parenthesis; multiply (a+5) by 1/3

8=1/3*a+1/3*5

Now we just solve the equation regularly

8=1/3a+5/3

8-5/3=1/3a

6 1/3=1/3a

a=19
