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!!!

Find the value of x.
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangle is right use the sine ratio to find x

sin30° = \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse} = \frac{5}{x}

cross- multiply

x × sin30° = 5 ( sin30° = 0.5 )

0.5x = 5 ( divide both sides by 0.5 )

x = 10

lesya692 [45]

Answer:

The answer is "3.14".

Step-by-step explanation:

The coefficient of pollution level is "b" and "a" intercept

\to y=a+bx\\\\  

We must verify it.

H_0 :\beta = 0\\\\H_a : \beta \neq 0\\\\

Beta \to b=1.76, SE=0.56 \ Estimate

The statistics on tets are now provided

\to t=\frac{b}{SE}=\frac{1.76}{0.56}=3.14

Because statistics will be more than critical (1.984) values, we thus rejectH_0
