Answer:
The probability that exactly two have flaws is P (x=2) = 0.2376
Step-by-step explanation:
Here
Success= p= 0.15
Failure = q= 0.85
total number= n= 8
Number chosen = x= 2
Applying the binomial distribution
P (x=x) = nCx p^x(q)^n-x
P (x=2) = 8C2 0.15 ²(0.85)^8
P (x=2) = 0.2376
The success is chosen about which we want to find the probability. Here we want to find the probability that exactly two have flaws so success would be having flaws therefore p = 0.15

Step-by-step explanation:
X^a times X^b = X^a + b
so 4x times 6x = 24x^(1+1)

Answer: choice A. 40 liters
====================================
Explanation:
x = number of liters of the 50% alcohol solution
If we have x liters of 50% alcohol, then we have 0.50*x liters of pure alcohol. This is added to 0.90*40 = 36 liters of pure alcohol (from the 90% solution).
So far we have 0.50*x + 36. This expression represents the total amount of pure alcohol. We want a 70% solution, so we want 70% of the total 40+x meaning 0.50*x + 36 is to be set equal to 0.70*(40+x) and we solve for x as shown below
0.50*x + 36 = 0.70*(40+x)
0.50*x + 36 = 0.70*(40)+0.70*(x)
0.50*x + 36 = 28+0.70*x
36 - 28 = 0.70*x - 0.50x
8 = 0.20x
0.20x = 8
x = 8/0.20
x = 40
So that is why the answer is choice A. 40 liters
