Find x when y=5 in the literal equation 4x+7y=51

The probability that a lab specimen contains high levels of contamination is 0.10. Five samples are checked, and the samples are

raketka [301]

Answer:

(a) 0.59049 (b) 0.32805 (c) 0.40951

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's define

$A_{i}$ : the lab specimen number i contains high levels of contamination for i = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, so,

$P(A_{i})=0.1$ for i = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

The complement for $A_{i}$ is given by

$A_{i}^{$c$}$ : the lab specimen number i does not contains high levels of contamination for i = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, so

P( $A_{i}^{$c$}$ )=0.9 for i = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

(a) The probability that none contain high levels of contamination is given by

P( $A_{1}^{$c$}$ ∩ $A_{2}^{$c$}$ ∩ $A_{3}^{$c$}$ ∩ $A_{4}^{$c$}$ ∩ $A_{5}^{$c$}$ )= $(0.9)^{5}$ =0.59049 because we have independent events.

(b) The probability that exactly one contains high levels of contamination is given by

P( $A_{1}$ ∩ $A_{2}^{$c$}$ ∩ $A_{3}^{$c$}$ ∩ $A_{4}^{$c$}$ ∩ $A_{5}^{$c$}$ )+P( $A_{1}^{$c$}$ ∩ $A_{2}$ ∩ $A_{3}^{$c$}$ ∩ $A_{4}^{$c$}$ ∩ $A_{5}^{$c$}$ )+P( $A_{1}^{$c$}$ ∩ $A_{2}^{$c$}$ ∩ $A_{3}$ ∩ $A_{4}^{$c$}$ ∩ $A_{5}^{$c$}$ )+P( $A_{1}^{$c$}$ ∩ $A_{2}^{$c$}$ ∩ $A_{3}^{$c$}$ ∩ $A_{4}$ ∩ $A_{5}^{$c$}$ )+P( $A_{1}^{$c$}$ ∩ $A_{2}^{$c$}$ ∩ $A_{3}^{$c$}$ ∩ $A_{4}^{$c$}$ ∩ $A_{5}$ )=5×(0.1)× $(0.9)^{4}$ =0.32805

because we have independent events.

(c) The probability that at least one contains high levels of contamination is

P( $A_{1}$ ∪ $A_{2}$ ∪ $A_{3}$ ∪ $A_{4}$ ∪ $A_{5}$ )=1-P( $A_{1}^{$c$}$ ∩ $A_{2}^{$c$}$ ∩ $A_{3}^{$c$}$ ∩ $A_{4}^{$c$}$ ∩ $A_{5}^{$c$}$ )=1-0.59049=0.40951

Multiplication made for 840 here's the numbers 11 3 4 5 2 3 7 6 14 what do I use to get 840 using only those numbers Help quick!

xxTIMURxx [149]

you can use the numbers 3, 4, 5, 2, 6, 7, and 14. You can multiply 3 times 280 to get 840, 210 times 4 to get 840, 5 times 168 to get 840, 2 times 420 to get 840, 140 times 6 to get 840, 7 times 120 to get 840, and 14 times 60 to get 840.
