Answer:

The probability that a performance evaluation will include at least one plant outside the United States is 0.836.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total plants = 11

Domestic plants = 7

Outside the US plants = 4

Suppose X is the number of plants outside the US which are selected for the performance evaluation. We need to compute the probability that at least 1 out of the 4 plants selected are outside the United States i.e. P(X≥1). To compute this, we will use the binomial distribution formula:

P(X=x) = ⁿCₓ pˣ qⁿ⁻ˣ

where n = total no. of trials

           x = no. of successful trials

           p = probability of success

           q = probability of failure

Here we have n=4, p=4/11 and q=7/11

P(X≥1) = 1 - P(X<1)

          = 1 - P(X=0)

          = 1 - ⁴C₀ * (4/11)⁰ * (7/11)⁴⁻⁰

          = 1 - 0.16399

P(X≥1) = 0.836

The probability that a performance evaluation will include at least one plant outside the United States is 0.836.

Solve for 2:<br> 7x + 156°<br> 9x + 184°
Natalija [7]

Answer:

x = -14

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

7x + 156 = 9x + 184

Reorder the terms:

156 + 7x = 9x + 184

Reorder the terms:

156 + 7x = 184 + 9x

Solving

156 + 7x = 184 + 9x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-9x' to each side of the equation.

156 + 7x + -9x = 184 + 9x + -9x

Combine like terms: 7x + -9x = -2x

156 + -2x = 184 + 9x + -9x

Combine like terms: 9x + -9x = 0

156 + -2x = 184 + 0

156 + -2x = 184

Add '-156' to each side of the equation.

156 + -156 + -2x = 184 + -156

Combine like terms: 156 + -156 = 0

0 + -2x = 184 + -156

-2x = 184 + -156

Combine like terms: 184 + -156 = 28

-2x = 28

Divide each side by '-2'.

x = -14

Simplifying

x = -14

Find the distance between points P(9,8) and Q(7,6) to the nearest tenth.
sergey [27]

Answer:

2.8 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Think of this distance as the hypotenuse of a right triangle that has a vertical leg and a horizontal one as well.

Going from P to Q, the change in x is 2 and the change in y is also 2.

Thus, by the Pythagorean Theorem, this desired distance is:

d = √(2^2 + 2^2) = 2√2 units, or 2.8 units

There are 38 students. If there are 6 seats at each table, how many tables would be needed for all of the students to be able to
Leto [7]

Answer:

7 tables
