Answer:

Probability that one type of candy will be chosen more than once in 10 trials = 0.2639

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a binomial experiment because

- A binomial experiment is one in which the probability of success doesn't change with every run or number of trials.

- It usually consists of a number of runs/trials with only two possible outcomes, a success or a failure. (10 trials, with the outcome of each trial being that we get the required candy or not)

- The outcome of each trial/run of a binomial experiment is independent of one another.

Binomial distribution function is represented by

P(X = x) = ⁿCₓ pˣ qⁿ⁻ˣ

n = total number of sample spaces = 10 trials

x = Number of successes required = number of times we want to pick a particular brand of candy = more than once, that is > 1

p = probability of success = probability of picking a particular brand of candy from a bulk with 10 different types of candies = (1/10) = 0.10

q = probability of failure = Probability of not picking our wanted candy = 1 - p = 1 - 0.1 = 0.90

P(X > 1) = 1 - P(X ≤ 1)

P(X ≤ 1) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)

P(X = 0) = ¹⁰C₀ (0.10)⁰ (0.90)¹⁰⁻⁰ = 0.3486784401

P(X = 1) = ¹⁰C₁ (0.10)¹ (0.90)¹⁰⁻¹ = 0.387420489

P(X ≤ 1) = 0.3486784401 + 0.387420489 = 0.7360989291

P(X > 1) = 1 - 0.7360989291 = 0.2639010709 = 0.2639

Hope this Helps!!!

the average white rhinoceros gives birth to a single calf that weighs about 3.8% as much as its mother. if the mother rhinoceros
Lisa [10]
Here is the solution of the given problem above.
Given: Weight of single calf = weight of mother + 3.8%
           Weight of mother = 3.75 tons or 7,500 pounds
           ? = weight of the calf
First, we need to find the 3.8% of 7,500 pounds. The result is 285 pounds.
So to get the weight of the calf, let's add 7,500 pounds to 285 pounds and the result is 7,785 pounds. So the weight of the calf is 7,785 pounds. Hope this helps.

You like the size of your MP3 player. The width is 4 centimeters. The length is 7 centimeters. The height measures 1 centimeter.
Basile [38]

Answer:

78mm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

based on the information given, we can tell that the shape of the MP3 player is a rectangle. The formula for the surface area of a rectangle is SA=2WL+2LH+2HW

SA = Surface Area

W = Width

L = Length

H = Height

SA = 2(4)(7) + 2(7)(1) + 2(1)(4)

= 2(28) + 2(7) + 2(4)

= 56 + 14 + 8

= 78
