Answer:

The probability that a matchbox will have one or fewer matches with a flaw is 0.9946 approximately.    

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

A manufacturer of matches randomly and independently puts 22 matches in each box of matches produced. The company knows that one-tenth of 5 percent of the matches are flawed.

One-tenth of 5 percent can be written as 0.5%

Here we have the value of n=22 and the value of p=0.5%=0.005

We want the probability that a matchbox will have one or fewer matches with a flaw.

That means P(X\leq 1)=P(X=0)+P(X=1)

Thus the required probability is:

P(X\leq 1)=\binom{22}{0}0.005^0(1-0.005)^{22}+\binom{22}{1}0.005^1(1-0.005)^{21}\\P(X\leq 1)=(0.995)^{22}+\binom{22}{1}0.005^1(0.995)^{21}\\P(X\leq 1)\approx 0.8956+22\times 0.005\times (0.995)^{21}\\P(X\leq 1)=0.8956+0.099\\P(X\leq 1)=0.9946

Hence, the probability that a matchbox will have one or fewer matches with a flaw is 0.9946 approximately.

Joe is taking part in a run for charity. He has earned $250 in pledges just for running and $40 in pledges for every mile he run
Harlamova29_29 [7]

im in middle school taking algebra 1 rn, but im pretty sure the equation is similar to 40x(40 pledges every mile) + 250(how much he already has from running) = y(the unknown variable).

so the equation would be 40x+250=y and you solve that to get the expression of how much he makes per mile

You would do 300• 31/100 to get 90. I’m pretty sure that’s right

Besides the 90° angle measure, what are the other two angle measures of a right triangle with side lengths 5, 12, and 13? Round
TEA [102]
In the right triangle, the longest side is the hypotenuse.
Let α be the angle opposite to the side with a length of 12 units, <span>then according to the Law of sines:

</span>\frac{13}{sin90^o}= \frac{12}{sin \alpha }   \ \ \to \ \ sin \alpha = \frac{12 \cdot sin90^o}{13}=  \frac{12*1}{13}  \approx 0.923 \ \ \to \ m\angle  \alpha \approx 67^o

In a triangle, the three interior angles always add to 180° ⇒

third angle = 180 - 90 - 67 = 23°

Answer:
67° and 23°  (to the nearest degree).
