Answer:

A)0.86

B)0.99

C)6.047E-13

Step-by-step explanation:

Since p = 0.01 and q= 0.99

Number of event n = 15

Using binomial expansion

A) Probability (No samples are mutated) = 15C0 (p)^0 * (q)^15

= 1*(0.01)^0*(0.99)^15 = 0.86

B)Probability (At most one sample is mutated) = 15C0 * p^0 *q^15 + 15C1 * p^1 * q^14 = 1*(0.01)^0*(0.99)^15 + 15C1 * 0.01 * 0.99^14 = 0.86 + 15*0.01*0.8687 = 0.86 + 0.13 = 0.99

C) Probability (More than half the samples are mutated) = 15C8* 0.01^8 * 0.99^7 + 15C9* 0.01^9 * 0.99^6 +15C10* 0.01^10 *0.99^5 + 15C11 * 0.01^11 * 0.99^4 + 15C12 * 0.01^12 * 0.99^3 + 15C13 * 0.01^13 * 0.99^ 2 + 15C14 * 0.01^14 * 0.99^1 + 15C15 * 0.01^15 * 0.99^0

Probability (More than half the samples are mutated) = 6E-13 + 4.71E-15 + 2.86E-17 + 1.31E-19 + 4.41E-22 + 1.03E-24 + 1.49E-27 + 1E-30 = 6.047E-13

Brett painted three walls. Each wall was 9 ft tall and 12 ft long. How much wall area did he paint
julsineya [31]

Answer:

First we need to calculate the are of each wall, since we alredy knew the length (l) and the width (w) which is the height of the wall in this case:

A = wl = 9 . 12 = 108 (ft²)

We also know that he painted 3 walls, we need to multiply our first result by 3, in other words, the area of wall that Brett painted is the sum of the area of three walls: 108 . 3 = 324 (ft²)

Use the distributive property to solve the equation 28-(3x+4)=2(x+6)+x. Show your work.
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

28−(3x+4)=2(x+6)+x

We need to use the distributive property for the right side.

28−3x−4=(2)(x)+(2)(6)+x)

28−3x−4=2x+2+x

−3x+24=3x+12

From here we need to subtract 3x from both side.

−3x+24−3x=3x+12−3x

6x+24=12

Transfer +24 on the right side.

6x=12−24

6x=−12

Finally, divide both sides by −6

6x/-6 = -12/-6

x=2

Which are correct representations of the inequality –3(2x – 5) < 5(2 – x)? Check all that apply.
k0ka [10]

Answer:

C. -6x+15

A. First Picture

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the inequality, -3(2x-5).

On simplifying the inequality, we get,

-3(2x-5)

i.e. -6x+15

i.e. -x

i.e. x>5

So, we get the correct representations of the inequality are,

C. -6x+15
