Answer: 0.8025

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The number of defective calculators : 17

The number of calculators are not defective : 37

Total calculators : 37+17=54

The probability of the calculators are defective : \dfrac{17}{54}=\dfrac{1}{3}

Binomial distribution formula :-

P(x)=^nC_xp^x(1-p)^{n-x}, where P(x) is the probability of success in x trials, n is total trials and p is the probability of success for one trial.

The probability that at least one of the calculators is defective is given by :-

P(x\geq1)=1-P(0)\\\=1-(^4C_0(\dfrac{1}{3})^0(1-\dfrac{1}{3})^4)\\\\=1-(\dfrac{2}{3})^4=0.80246913\approx0.8025

Solve the equation for z <br>5z-8=32<br>A. z=4<br>B. z=4.8<br>C. z=6<br>D. z=8​
nadezda [96]

Answer:

Z=8 is the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

first, you add 8 to both sides which leaves you with 5z=40. then after that you divide both sides by 5 which leaves you with 5/5z = 40/5. then buy dividing 5 by 5 its leaves you with 1 which is equal to z because blank variables equal 1. On the other side if the equation 40 by 5 is 8 so that leaves you with z=8

Evaluate the 6 trigonometric functions of theta for 540 degrees
Sophie [7]
540 degrees is equivalent to 180 degrees. Cotangent and cosecant are invalid, sine, secant, tangent are all 0 and cosine is -1.
