Answer:

59.87% probability of randomly selecting 10 production employees on a hot summer day and finding that none of them are absent

Step-by-step explanation:

For each employee, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they are absent, or they are not. The probability of an employee being absent is independent from other employees. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

5% of the production employees at Midland States Steel are absent from work.

This means that p = 0.05

What is the probability of randomly selecting 10 production employees on a hot summer day and finding that none of them are absent

This is P(X = 0) when n = 10. So

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 0) = C_{10,0}.(0.05)^{0}.(0.95)^{10} = 0.5987

59.87% probability of randomly selecting 10 production employees on a hot summer day and finding that none of them are absent

Which transformation moves all points the same distance in the same direction?
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

In a translation, ALL of the points move the same distance in the same direction. A translation is called a rigid transformation or isometry because the image is the same size and shape as the pre-image.
