Answer:

  • chocolate: 6 pounds
  • jelly: 4 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of pounds of chocolate in the mix. Then the total price of 10 pounds of mix is ...

  10x +5(10 -x) = 80

  5x +50 = 80

  5x = 30

  x = 6 . . . . . . . . pounds of chocolate

  10 -x = 4 . . . . . pounds of jelly candy

6 pounds of chocolate and 4 pounds of jelly should be used to make the mixture.

10 normal six sided dice are thrown.Find the probability of obtaining at least 8 failuresif a success is 5 or 6.
erastova [34]

Answer:

0.2992 = 29.92% probability of obtaining at least 8 failures.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each dice, there are only two possible outcomes. Either a failure is obtained, or a success is obtained. Trials are independent, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

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 combinations 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.

A success is 5 or 6.

A dice has 6 sides, numbered 1 to 6. Since a success is 5 or 6, the other 4 numbers are failures, and the probability of failure is:

p = \frac{4}{6} = 0.6667

10 normal six sided dice are thrown.

This means that n = 10

Find the probability of obtaining at least 8 failures.

This is:

P(X \geq 8) = P(X = 8) + P(X = 9) + P(X = 10)

So

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

P(X = 8) = C_{10,8}.(0.6667)^{8}.(0.3333)^{2} = 0.1951

P(X = 9) = C_{10,9}.(0.6667)^{9}.(0.3333)^{1} = 0.0867

P(X = 10) = C_{10,10}.(0.6667)^{10}.(0.3333)^{0} = 0.0174

Then

P(X \geq 8) = P(X = 8) + P(X = 9) + P(X = 10) = 0.1951 + 0.0867 + 0.0174 = 0.2992

0.2992 = 29.92% probability of obtaining at least 8 failures.
