Answer: A. 0.4207

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The lifetime of a 2-volt non-rechargeable battery in constant use has a Normal distribution with a mean of 516 hours and a standard deviation of 20 hours.

i.e. \mu=516

\sigma=20

Let x denotes the lifetime of a 2-volt non-rechargeable battery in constant use.

Then , the probability of batteries with lifetimes exceeding 520 hours is approximately:-

P(X>520)=1-P(x\leq520)\\\\=1-P(\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\leq\dfrac{520-516}{20})\\\\=1-P(z\leq0.2)\ \ [\because\ z=\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}]\\\\ =1-0.5793\ \ [\text{By z-table}]\\\\=0.4207

Hence, the proportion of batteries with lifetimes exceeding 520 hours is approximately 0.4207.

∴ Correct option is A. 0.4207

Is 44.11 greater than 44.5
Aleks04 [339]
No because I'll teach you a trick. Put a zero after the 5.   so now you have 44.11 and 44.50 . So 44.5 is bigger!

Cards are dealt, one at a time, from a standard 52-card deck. a if the first 2 cards are both spades, what is the probability th
ratelena [41]
So we already drew two cards and both of them are spades. So that means there are 50 cards and 11 spades left.

Then third card being spades would be 11 / 50

Now there are 10 spades and 49 cards left.
So the probability for fourth card would be 10 / 49

Fifth card would be 9 / 48.

So the probability of next three cards being spades would be
\dfrac{11}{50}\cdot\dfrac{10}{49}\cdot\dfrac9{48}=\dfrac{33}{3920}\approx\boxed{0.00842}

Hope this helps.

In a bowl of fruit there are 10 bananas, 6 apples and 4 pears.
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

P(0,0) = 2/12 times 1/11 = 1/66

Step-by-step explanation:

For probability questions, think of each event happening separately, it makes the maths easier to understand. For example, in this question, do not think of the two boys taking a fruit at the same time - that makes the maths complicated

.

Let Daniel take a fruit first, then Sean can take a fruit. There are two parts to consider.

P

r

o

b

a

b

i

l

i

t

y

=

number of desirable outcomes

total number of possible outcomes

For Daniel: there are 12 different pieces of fruit in the bowl, he just takes one without choosing a specific fruit. (random)

The chance that Daniel takes an orange is

2

12

Of the 12 pieces of fruit. 2 are oranges.

Now Sean: the numbers of fruit in the bowl have changed. There are now only 11 pieces of fruit in the bowl, and only 1 is an orange.

The chance that Sean takes an orange is

1

11
