Answer:
A. 0.009899
B. 0.005624
Step-by-step explanation:
Data:
Let the probability that an item is defective = 
The probability that the item is not defective = 
The probability that the fifth item is defective = 
= 0.009899
Probability that one in 5 items is defective = 0.005624
Answer:
99.9973 %
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a binomial probability distribution.
Since the probability of satisfactory welds = 97% = 0.97 and the probability of defective welds = 3% = 0.03.
Since there are 3 welds and we require at least one being defective, our binomial probability is
P(x ≥ 1) = 1 - P(x ≤ 0) = 1 - P(0) = 1 - ³C₀(0.03)³(0.97)⁰ = 1 - 1 × 0.000027 × 1 = 1 - 0.000027 = 0.999973 × 100% = 99.9973%
Answer:
a=8
Step-by-step explanation:
Since this is a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem
a^2 +b^2 = c^2 where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse
a^2 +15^2 = 17^2
a^2 +225 = 289
Subtract 225 from each side
a^2 +225-225=289-225
a^2 = 64
Take the square root of each side
sqrt(a^2) = sqrt(64)
a = 8
If s represents the number of students, then the number of pizzas is
s/4 + 2 = 9
s/4 = 7 . . . . . . subtract 2
s = 28 . . . . . . multiply by 4
There are 28 students.
