start fraction, 1, divided by, 2, end fraction of hitting the Captain's ship. If her ship has been hit, dread pirate Umaima will always miss.
If the Captain and the pirate each shoot once, and the pirate shoots first, what is the probability that both the pirate and the Captain hit each other's ships?

Answer:

0

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that if the Captain's ship has been hit, he will always miss and since the pirate is shooting first, the captain's ship could be hit. So the probability that both of them hit each other's ship is 0 because if the pirate hits the Captain's ship, he will always miss.  1/2 * 0 = 0

There is no way for both of them to hit each other's ships because if their ships have been hit, they will always miss.

HELP ASAP ALL THREE PLEASE 1. if a cyclic alkene has 12 carbon atoms, how many hydrogen atoms does it have 2.if a cyclic alkene
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

1. 24

2. 6

3. No

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for cyclic alkene is C^{n} H^{2n}, so if it has 12 carbon atoms, it will have double the amount of hydrogen atoms, therefore, 24 hydrogen atoms.

The same works in reverse. If we have 12 hydrogen atoms in this, then there will be half the amount of carbon atoms, therefore 6.

Since the relationship between Carbon and Hydrogen here is double and half, odd numbers can't be divided by 2 and end up with a whole number, so an odd number of hydrogen atoms is not possible.

Hope this helped!

It is known that 10% of the calculators shipped from a particular factory are defective. In a random sample of ten calculators,
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

0.7361

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question we have

number to be 10

Then we have a probability of 10% = 0.10

We have q = 1-p

= 1-0.10 = 0.90

Then the probability of not more than 1 being defective:

P(x=0) + p(x= 1)

(10C0 x 0.1⁰ x 0.9^10-0)+(10C1 x 0.1¹ x 0.9^10-1)

= 1 x1 x0.3487 + 10 x 0.1 x 0.3874

= 0.3487 + 0.3874

= 0.7361

This is the the required probability and this answers the question.

probability = 10 percent = 0.1

q= 1- 10percent = 90% = 0.9

n = 4

To get the required probabiltiy for this question is

P(not greater than one is defective )=P(x=0)+P(x=1)

= 4C0x(0.1)⁰x(0.9)⁴+4C1x(0.1)¹x(0.9)³

= 0.9477

The required probability is 0.9477
