Answer:

Required probability = 0.8131

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that 90 percent of automobiles in Orange County have both headlights working.

Also, a sample of eight automobiles is taken.

Firstly, the binomial probability is given by;

P(X=r) =\binom{n}{r}p^{r}(1-p)^{n-r} for x = 0,1,2,3,....

where, n = number of trails(samples) taken = 8

           r = number of successes

           p = probability of success and success in our question is % of

                 automobiles in Orange County having both headlights working

                  i.e. 90%.

Let X = Number of automobiles in Orange County having both headlights working

So, X ~ Binom(n=8,p=0.9)

So, probability that in a sample of eight automobiles, at least seven will have both headlights working = P(X >= 7)

P(X >= 7) = P(X = 7) + P(X = 8)

                = \binom{8}{7}0.9^{7}(1-0.9)^{8-7} + \binom{8}{8}0.9^{8}(1-0.9)^{8-8}

                = 8*0.9^{7}*0.1 + 1*0.9^{8}  *1 = 0.3826 + 0.4305 = 0.8131 .

Answer:

P(X \geq 7) = P(X=7) +P(X=8)

And we can find the individual probabilities using the probability mass function

P(X=7)=(8C7)(0.9)^7 (1-0.9)^{8-7}=0.3826  

P(X=8)=(8C8)(0.9)^8 (1-0.9)^{8-8}=0.4305  

And replacing we got:

P(X \geq 7) = P(X=7) +P(X=8)=0.3826 +0.4305=0.8131

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts  

The binomial distribution is a "DISCRETE probability distribution that summarizes the probability that a value will take one of two independent values under a given set of parameters. The assumptions for the binomial distribution are that there is only one outcome for each trial, each trial has the same probability of success, and each trial is mutually exclusive, or independent of each other".  

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable of interest "number of automobiles with both headligths working", on this case we now that:  

X \sim Binom(n=8, p=0.9)  

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:  

P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}  

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:  

nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}  

And for this case we want to find this probability:

P(X \geq 7) = P(X=7) +P(X=8)

And we can find the individual probabilities using the probability mass function

P(X=7)=(8C7)(0.9)^7 (1-0.9)^{8-7}=0.3826  

P(X=8)=(8C8)(0.9)^8 (1-0.9)^{8-8}=0.4305  

And replacing we got:

P(X \geq 7) = P(X=7) +P(X=8)=0.3826 +0.4305=0.8131

The recursive formula for an arithmetic sequence is an = an - 1 + d.
LekaFEV [45]
If an is a5
and
an-1 is a4

then using your recursive formula for an arithmetic sequence
an=an-1 +d
then
a5=a4+d

now, a4 =6 and common difference "d"  is d=-11
hence
a5=6 -11
6-11= -5


any questions?

A shop has one-pound bags of peanuts for $2 and three-pound bags of peanuts for $5.50. If you buy 8 bags and spend $37, how many
Andrew [12]

Answer:

  • 6 3-lb bags
  • 2 1-lb bags

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of 3-lb bags purchased. Then the total purchase was ...

  $2(8 -x) +$5.50(x) = $37

  16 +3.50x = 37 . . . . . . . . . divide by $, collect terms

  3.50x = 21 . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 16

  21/3.50 = x = 6 . . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of x

You bought 6 3-lb bags of peanuts and 2 1-lb bags.
