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

You are told to you will have to wait 5 hours in a line with a group of other people. Determine it. 1.You know the number of min
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

for\ five\ hours = 300\ min

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Waiting time = 5 hours.

We need to find the number of minutes for 5 hours.

Solution:

We know that 60 minutes for each hour, so one hour is equal to 60 minutes.

For one hour = 60\ minutes

For five hours = 5\times 60

for\ five\ hours = 300\ min

Therefore, you will have to wait 300 minutes in a line.

Erika worked 18 hours last week and 20 hours this week. If she earns $6 per hour, how much did she earn these two weeks?
Crank
Hi!

If she worked 18 hours last week and 20 hours this week, then she worked 38 hours in total, because 18 + 20 = 38.

If she earns $6 per hour, and she worked for 38 hours, then she got 38 sets of 6, which you can find the answer to by multiplying 38 and 6.

This is essentially 6 + 6 + 6 +...

38 * 6 = $228

So she earned $228 these two weeks.

Hope this helped!
