Answer:

(a) 0.8836

(b) 0.6096

(c) 0.3904

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a computer can be classified as either cutting dash edge or ancient. Suppose that 94​% of computers are classified as ancient.

(a) <u>Two computers are chosen at random.</u>

The above situation can be represented through Binomial distribution;

P(X=r) = \binom{n}{r}p^{r} (1-p)^{n-r} ; x = 0,1,2,3,.....

where, n = number of trials (samples) taken = 2 computers

            r = number of success = both 2

           p = probability of success which in our question is % of computers

                  that are classified as ancient, i.e; 0.94

<em>LET X = Number of computers that are classified as ancient​</em>

So, it means X ~ Binom(n=2, p=0.94)

Now, Probability that both computers are ancient is given by = P(X = 2)

       P(X = 2)  = \binom{2}{2}\times 0.94^{2} \times (1-0.94)^{2-2}

                      = 1 \times 0.94^{2} \times 1

                      = 0.8836

(b) <u>Eight computers are chosen at random.</u>

The above situation can be represented through Binomial distribution;

P(X=r) = \binom{n}{r}p^{r} (1-p)^{n-r} ; x = 0,1,2,3,.....

where, n = number of trials (samples) taken = 8 computers

            r = number of success = all 8

           p = probability of success which in our question is % of computers

                  that are classified as ancient, i.e; 0.94

<em>LET X = Number of computers that are classified as ancient</em>

So, it means X ~ Binom(n=8, p=0.94)

Now, Probability that all eight computers are ancient is given by = P(X = 8)

       P(X = 8)  = \binom{8}{8}\times 0.94^{8} \times (1-0.94)^{8-8}

                      = 1 \times 0.94^{8} \times 1

                      = 0.6096

(c) <u>Here, also 8 computers are chosen at random.</u>

The above situation can be represented through Binomial distribution;

P(X=r) = \binom{n}{r}p^{r} (1-p)^{n-r} ; x = 0,1,2,3,.....

where, n = number of trials (samples) taken = 8 computers

            r = number of success = at least one

           p = probability of success which is now the % of computers

                  that are classified as cutting dash edge, i.e; p = (1 - 0.94) = 0.06

<em>LET X = Number of computers classified as cutting dash edge</em>

So, it means X ~ Binom(n=8, p=0.06)

Now, Probability that at least one of eight randomly selected computers is cutting dash edge is given by = P(X \geq 1)

       P(X \geq 1)  = 1 - P(X = 0)

                      =  1 - \binom{8}{0}\times 0.06^{0} \times (1-0.06)^{8-0}

                      = 1 - [1 \times 1 \times 0.94^{8}]

                      = 1 - 0.94^{8} = 0.3904

Here, the probability that at least one of eight randomly selected computers is cutting dash edge​ is 0.3904 or 39.04%.

For any event to be unusual it's probability is very less such that of less than 5%. Since here the probability is 39.04% which is way higher than 5%.

So, it is not unusual that at least one of eight randomly selected computers is cutting dash edge.

If f(x) = 4x - 7, what's the value of f(2) ? *<br> O -1<br> O 1<br> O 20<br> O 35
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 4x - 7

What does f(x) mean? It means that whatever variable you have on the left which is (x), the same variable must be on the right.

So f(2) means that whatever variable is on the right, it must be replaced with 2 on the right. So .....

f(2) = 4(2) - 7

f(2) = 8 - 7

f(2) = 1

Answer:

V = 100π

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cone is V = (\frac{\pi r^2h}{3})

1) \frac{\pi5^212}{3}

2) \frac{300\pi }{3}

3) 100π

Find the circumference and area of a circle<br>with a radius of 5 feet.​
iVinArrow [24]

Circumference = 2(pi)r

Area = (pi)r^2

r = 5

5 * 2 = 10

Circumference = 10π

5 * 5 = 25

Area = 25π

Using 3.14 as pi substitute:

5 * 3.14 = 15.7

15.7 * 2 = 31.4

Circumference = 31.4

5 * 5 = 25

25 * 3.14 = 78.5

Area = 78.5
