Answer:

0.7633

Step-by-step explanation:

Proportion of the population that is contaminated = P = (4/17) = 0.235

We now need to find the probability that not more than 1 of the 4 bottles tested is contaminated. This is a binomial distribution problem.

Binomial distribution function is represented by

P(X = x) = ⁿCₓ pˣ qⁿ⁻ˣ

n = total number of sample spaces = number of bottles to be tested = 4

x = Number of successes required = 0, 1

p = probability of success = probability that a bottle is contaminated = 0.235

q = probability of failure = probability that a bottle is NOT contaminated = 1 - 0.235 = 0.765

P(X ≤ 1) = P(X=0) + P(X=1) = 0.34248830063 + 0.4208352975 = 0.7633235981 = 0.7633 to 4 d.p

Hope this helps!!!

Write the ratio 28 to 56 in simplest form
Andre45 [30]
The ratio shown in fraction form would be; \frac{28}{56}

Now to convert it to its simplest form, you need to find their greatest common factor; (so in this case it would be 28...cause 28 goes into 56 evenly)
*Now divide both terms by 28

28 ÷ 28 = 1
56 ÷ 28 = 2
 
so your ratio 28 to 56 in simplest form is.. \frac{1}{2}
Hope this helps :)
