Answer:

a) 0.64

b) 0.21

c) 0.79

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentage of industrial-grade diamonds = 80%

This means, if one diamond is chosen at random, there is 80% chance that it will be of industrial-grade. So,

P(Industrial grade) = 80% = 0.80

Part a)

Probability that 1st diamond is industrial-grade = 0.80

Since, selection of diamonds in independent, the probability that 2nd diamond is also industrial grade = 0.80

The overall probability of both diamonds being industrial-grade will be the product of their individual probabilities, according to the fundamental rule of counting.

So, if two diamonds are chosen at random, the probability that both are industrial grade = 0.80 x 0.80 = (0.80)² = 0.64

Part b)

Following the same logic as we followed in the previous part.

The probability of each of the 7 diamonds being industrial-grade is 0.80, so the probability that all 7 are industrial grade will be:

Probability = 0.80 x 0.80 x 0.80 x 0.80 x 0.80 x 0.80 x 0.80 = (0.80)^{7} = 0.21

So, if 7 diamonds are chosen at random, the probability that all 7 are industrial grade is 0.21.

Part c)

The event "at least one" is complement of event "none". So, the event "at least one of 7" will be complement of "none of the 7"

If none of the selected diamonds is gem quality, this means all 7 of the diamonds are industrial-grade. So,

The probability that none of the diamonds is gem-quality = The probability that all 7 are industrial-grade = 0.21

So,

The probability that at least one of the 7 selected diamonds is gem-quality = 1 - Probability that none is gem-quality

= 1 - 0.21

= 0.79

Since the probability that atleast one of the 7 randomly selected diamonds is gem-quality is greater than 0.05, it won't be unusual event.

A line passes through (−1, 7) and (2, 10). which answer is the equation of the line?
mart [117]
First you need to find the slope of the line. So what you need to do is y^2-y^1 / x^2-x^1

(x^1, y^1) (x^2, y^2)
( -1, 7) ( 2, 10)

10-7/ 2- (-1)
3/3=1
slope is 1

I got 8 as the y intercept. Reason how is that I made a table. And what I did was go back instead of going forward.

x y
-1 7
0 8
1 9
2 10

The answer would be x= 1 y= x + 8 y=8 But the answer choice you listed for A. would not match up the 2 coordinate you gave. Make sure a. should be x= 1 y= x + 8 y=8, not -x y= 8-x y=8
