Given Information:  

Probability of shipment accepted = p = 5%

Probability of shipment not accepted = q = 95%

Total number of pens = n = 19

Required Information:  

Probability of shipment being accepted with no more than 2 defective pens = P( x ≤ 2) = ?  

Answer:

P( x ≤ 2) = 0.933

Step-by-step explanation:

The given problem can be solved using Bernoulli distribution  which is given by

P(n, x) = nCx pˣqⁿ⁻ˣ  

The probability of no more than 2 defective pens means

P( x ≤ 2) = Probability of 0 defective pen + Probability of 1 defective pen + Probability of 2 defective pens

P( x ≤ 2) = P(0) + P(1) + P(2)

For P(0) we have p = 0.05, q = 0.95, n = 19 and x = 0

P(0) = 19C0(0.05)⁰(0.95)¹⁹

P(0) = (1)(1)(0.377)

P(0) = 0.377

For P(1) we have p = 0.05, q = 0.95, n = 19 and x = 1

P(1) = 19C1(0.05)¹(0.95)¹⁸

P(1) = (19)(0.05)(0.397)

P(1) = 0.377

For P(2) we have p = 0.05, q = 0.95, n = 19 and x = 2

P(2) = 19C2(0.05)²(0.95)¹⁷

P(2) = (171)(0.0025)(0.418)

P(2) = 0.179

Therefore, the required probability is

P( x ≤ 2) = P(0) + P(1) + P(2)

P( x ≤ 2) = 0.377 + 0.377 + 0.179

P( x ≤ 2) = 0.933

P( x ≤ 2) = 93.3%

Therefore, the probability that this shipment is accepted with no more than 2 defective pens is 0.933.

William works at a nearby electronics store. He makes a commission of 6% percent on everything he sells. If he sells a computer
Naddika [18.5K]

Commission earned by William is $ 45.84

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that,

William makes a commission of 6% percent on everything he sells

He sells a computer for $764.00

<em><u>To find: Commission amount of William</u></em>

Given that he makes a commission of 6 % on everything he sells. So he has received a commission of 6 % of $ 764.00

Commission amount of William = 6 % of $ 764.00

a % of b can be written in fraction as \frac{a}{100} \times b

6 \% \text { of } 764=\frac{6}{100} \times 764=0.06 \times 764=45.84

Thus commission earned by William is $ 45.84

702 can not be written as the product of 2 prime numbers, because if you divide 702 by 2 then you get 351 and that is not a prime number. Therefore 702 is a prime number.

Quadrilateral KLMN has vertices of K(-4,-1), L(-1,-1) M(-2,-5) and N(-4,-4) Find the length of MN
Olenka [21]

Answer:

The length of MN is \sqrt{5} units.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given Quadrilateral KLMN has vertices at K(-4,-1), L(-1,-1) M(-2,-5) and N(-4,-4).

We use the distance formula to find the length of MN.

|MN|=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

We plug in the values to get

|MN|=\sqrt{(-4--2)^2+(-4--5)^2}

|MN|=\sqrt{(-2)^2+(1)^2}

|MN|=\sqrt{4+1}

|MN|=\sqrt{5}

The length of MN is \sqrt{5} units.
