Answer:

0.0512

Step-by-step explanation:

For each individual, there are only two possible outomes. Either he receives Social Security, or he does not. The probability of an individual receiving Social Security is independent of other individuals. So we use the binomial probability distribution 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.

The number of individuals in the sample is 5.

This means that n = 5

The probability that an individual receives Social Security is 20%.

This means that p = 0.2

What is the probability that exactly 3 of the 5 individuals receive Social Security?

This is P(X = 3).

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 3) = C_{5,3}.(0.2)^{3}.(0.8)^{2} = 0.0512

A winery has a vat with two pipes leading to it. The inlet pipe can fill the vat in 5 ​hours, while the outlet pipe can empty it
Rashid [163]

Answer:

                 time=40/3hours\approx 13.3hours

Step-by-step explanation:

The rates are additive: you can calculate the<em> inlet </em>rate and the <em>outlet</em> rate and add them algebraically, i.e. the inlet rate will be positive and the outlet rate will be negative.

<u>1. Inlet rate:</u>

1vat/5hours

<u />

<u>2. Outlet rate:</u>

1vat/8hours

<u>3. Net rate:</u>

            \text{Inlet rate - outlet rate}=1vat/5hours-1vat/8hours\\\\ \text{Net rate}=(8-5)vat/40hour=3vat/40hour=(3/40)vat/hour

<u>4. Time to fill the vat</u>

           rate=amount/time\implies time=amount/rate\\ \\ time=1vat/(3vat/40hour)

          time=40/3hours\approx 13.3hours

Solve for x. Enter your answer below as a fraction in lowest terms, using the slash ( / ) as a fraction bar. Solve:
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

x=21/40

Step-by-step explanation:

First get common denominators

3/8 *5 to top and bottom is now 15/40

3/20 *2 to top and bottom is now 6/40

isolate the X

x-15/40=6/40

+15/40    +15/40

x=21/40
