On a particular production line, the likelihood that a light bulb is defective is 10%. seven light bulbs are randomly selected.

What is the probability that at most 4 of the light bulbs will be defective

Answer:

0.9995

Step-by-step explanation:

10% = 0.10

1 - 0.10 = 0.9

n = number of light bulbs = 7

we calculate this using binomial distribution.

p(x) = nCx × p^x(1-p)^n-x

our question says at most 4 is defective

= (7C0 × 0.1⁰ × 0.9⁷) + (7C1 × 0.1¹ × 0.9⁶) + (7C2 × 0.1² × 0.9⁵) + (7C3 × 0.1³ × 0.9⁴) + (7C4 × 0.1⁴ × 0.9³)

= 0.478 + 0.372 + 0.1239 + 0.023 + 0.0026

= 0.9995

we have 0.9995 probability that at most 4 light bulbs are defective.

Suppose that LMN is isosceles with base LN suppose that M

ira [324]

Given:

In an isosceles triangle LMN, LM=MN.

$m\angle M=(3x+17)^\circ,m\angle L=(2x+36)^\circ$

To find:

The measure of the angles L, M and N.

Solution:

In triangle LMN,

$LM=MN$ (Given)

$m\angle N=m\angle L=(2x+36)^\circ$ (Base angles of an isosceles triangle are equal)

Now,

$m\angle L+m\angle M+m\angle N=180^\circ$

$(2x+36)^\circ+(3x+17)^\circ+(2x+36)^\circ=180^\circ$

$(7x+89)^\circ=180^\circ$

$(7x+89)=180$

On further simplification, we get

$7x=180-89$

$7x=91$

$x=\dfrac{91}{7}$

$x=13$

The value of x is 13. Using this value, we get

$m\angle L=(2(13)+36)^\circ$

$m\angle L=(26+36)^\circ$

$m\angle L=62^\circ$

Similarly,

$m\angle M=(3(13)+17)^\circ$

$m\angle M=(39+17)^\circ$

$m\angle M=56^\circ$

And,

$m\angle N=m\angle L$

$m\angle N=62^\circ$

Therefore, the measure of angles are $m\angle L=62^\circ,m\angle M=56^\circ,m\angle N=62^\circ$ .
