Shota built a time travel machine, but he can't control the duration of his trip. Each time he uses the machine he has a 0.80.80

, point, 8 probability of staying in the alternative time for more than an hour. During the first year of testing, Shota uses his machine 202020 times. Assuming that each trip is equally likely to last for more than an hour, what is the probability that at least one trip will last less than an hour? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

Answer:

0.99 probability that at least one trip will last less than an hour

Step-by-step explanation:

For each time that the machine is used, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it lasts more than an hour, or it does not. The probability of a trip lasting more than an hour is independent of other trips. So the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

0.8 probability of lasting more than one hour.

So p = 0.8

20 trips

So n = 20

Assuming that each trip is equally likely to last for more than an hour, what is the probability that at least one trip will last less than an hour?

Either all the trips last for more than an hour, or at least one does not. The sum of the probabilities of these outcomes is decimal 1. So

P(X = 20) + P(X < 20) = 1

We want P(X < 20). So

P(X < 20) = 1 - P(X = 20)

In which

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 20) = C_{20,20}.(0.8)^{20}.(0.2)^{0} = 0.0115

P(X < 20) = 1 - P(X = 20) = 1 - 0.0115 = 0.9885

0.9885 probability that at least one trip will last less than an hour

Rouding to the nearest hundreth.

0.99 probability that at least one trip will last less than an hour

jose is hiking a trail that is 2 /4 miles long. he hikes 1 5/8 miles before resting how much farther does he have left
Yanka [14]

The number of miles that Jose will have left after resting will be 1 1/8 miles.

Total distance to be covered = 2 3/4 miles

Distance traveled = 1 5/8 miles

Therefore, in order to get the distance that's left for Jose to complete his journey, we've to subtract the distance traveled from the total distance and this will be:

= 2 3/4 - 1 5/8

= 2 6/8 - 1 5/8

= 1 1/8

Therefore, he has 1 1/8 miles left to travel.

A team of runners is needed to run a 1/4 mile relay race. If each runner must run 1/16 mile how many runners will be needed?
myrzilka [38]
The answer is 4. If the relay is 1/4 mile, and each person runs 1/16 mile, then to get the answer you divide 1/4 by 1/6 and get 4. 4 people would be needed to run this relay. Hope this helps! :)
