Answer:

There is a probability of 76% of not selling the package if there are actually three dead batteries in the package.

Step-by-step explanation:

With a 10-units package of batteries with 3 dead batteries, the sampling can be modeled as a binomial random variable with:

  • n=4 (the amount of batteries picked for the sample).
  • p=3/10=0.3 (the proportion of dead batteries).
  • k≥1 (the amount of dead batteries in the sample needed to not sell the package).

The probability of having k dead batteries in the sample is:

P(x=k) = \dbinom{n}{k} p^{k}q^{n-k}

Then, the probability of having one or more dead batteries in the sample (k≥1) is:

P(x\geq1)=1-P(x=0)\\\\\\P(x=0) = \dbinom{4}{0} p^{0}q^{4}=1*1*0.7^4=0.2401\\\\\\P(x\geq1)=1-0.2401=0.7599\approx0.76

1. Each row in a window display of floppy disk cartons contains two more boxes than the row above. The first row has one box. a.
Oduvanchick [21]
Each row has two more boxes than the row above. The first row has one box 

The boxes in a row form an arithmetic sequence with the first term, a₁ = 1 and the common difference, d=2.
The n-th term is
a_{n} = a+(n-1)d
The sum of n terms is
S_{n} = \frac{n}{2}(a_{1} + a_{n})

Answer:
The table will have the following:

Row Number:                        1   2   3    4    5    6
Boxes in the row:                  1   3   5    7    9    11
Total boxes in the display:    1   4   9  16  25  36

Select the quadrant in which the terminal side of the angle falls.
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Select the quadrant in which the terminal side of the angle falls.

210° terminates in quadrant

-150° terminates in quadrant

390° terminates in quadrant

Solution:

The x and y axis divides the cartesian plane into four equal parts known as the four quadrants.

Angles between 0° and 90° are in the first quadrant, angles between 90° and 180° are in the second quadrant, angles between 180° and 270° are in the third quadrant while angles between 270° and 360° are in the fourth quadrant.

a) Since 210 degrees is between 180° and 270°, hence it terminates in the third quadrant.

b) -150° = 360 - 150 = 210°. Since 210 degrees is between 180° and 270°, hence it terminates in the third quadrant.

c) 390° = 390° - 360° = 30°.

Since 30 degrees is between 0° and 90°, hence it terminates in the first quadrant.
