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!!!

Twenty seven less than eight times a number is equal to five. What is the number?
Korvikt [17]
<h3><u>The unknown number is equal to 4.</u></h3>

8x - 27 = 5

Add 27 to both sides.

8x = 32

Divide both sides by 8

x = 4

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Based on the information, it can be inferred that payment option A means a payment of $450, while option B means a payment of $300.

<h3>How much money does each payment option receive?</h3>

The payment options contemplated by the employer are distributed as follows:

Option A

  • First week: $200
  • Second week: $200 + $50 = $250
  • Third week: $250 + $50 = $300
  • Fourth week: $300 + $50 = $350
  • Fifth week: $350 + $50 = $400
  • Sixth week: $400 + $50 = $450

Option B

  • First week: $200
  • Second week: $220
  • Third week: $240
  • Fourth week: $260
  • Fifth week: $280
  • Sixth week: $300

Note: This question is incomplete because there is some information missing. Here is the missing information:

Complete the tables to show how much money would be received for both payment options, each week, for 6 weeks.
