At Munder Difflin Paper Company, the manager Mitchell Short randomly places golden sheets of paper inside of 30% of their paper

containers. An employee, John Halstrom, randomly selects 14 of these containers of paper. What is the probability that John finds less than 7 golden sheets of paper? Round your answer to two decimal places.

Answer:

90.67% probability that John finds less than 7 golden sheets of paper

Step-by-step explanation:

For each container, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it contains a golden sheet of paper, or it does not. The probability of a container containing a golden sheet of paper is independent of other containers. 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.

At Munder Difflin Paper Company, the manager Mitchell Short randomly places golden sheets of paper inside of 30% of their paper containers.

This means that p = 0.3

14 of these containers of paper.

This means that n = 14

What is the probability that John finds less than 7 golden sheets of paper?

P(X < 7) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6)

In which

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

P(X = 0) = C_{14,0}.(0.3)^{0}.(0.7)^{14} = 0.0068

P(X = 1) = C_{14,1}.(0.3)^{1}.(0.7)^{13} = 0.0407

P(X = 2) = C_{14,2}.(0.3)^{2}.(0.7)^{12} = 0.1134

P(X = 3) = C_{14,3}.(0.3)^{3}.(0.7)^{11} = 0.1943

P(X = 4) = C_{14,4}.(0.3)^{4}.(0.7)^{10} = 0.2290

P(X = 5) = C_{14,5}.(0.3)^{5}.(0.7)^{9} = 0.1963

P(X = 6) = C_{14,6}.(0.3)^{6}.(0.7)^{8} = 0.1262

P(X < 7) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) = 0.0068 + 0.0407 + 0.1134 + 0.1943 + 0.2290 + 0.1963 + 0.1262 = 0.9067

90.67% probability that John finds less than 7 golden sheets of paper

2) a) What is special about the temperature 100 °C?
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

Absolute zero is the lowest possible temperature where nothing could be colder and no heat energy remains in a substance. Absolute zero is the point at which the fundamental particles of nature have minimal vibrational motion, retaining only quantum mechanical, zero-point energy-induced particle motion. hope this helps you

4,284 passengers traveling by the intercity bus every day, the intercity bus operates 6 hours every day, find the number of pass
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

714

Step-by-step explanation:

So lets go over what we know.

The bus only goes for 6 hours each day.

So lets just think of a full day as 6 hours.

Each day(6 hours), 4284 passangers ride the bus.

To find passangers per hour, we must divide the total passangers by the total hours.

This is 4284(total passangers) divided by 6(total hours):

4284/6

=

714

So each hour, there are 714 passangers.

Hope this helps!

The region bounded by y=x^2+1, y=x, x=-1, x=2 with square cross sections perpendicular to the x-axis.
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

The bounded area is 5 + 5/6 square units. (or 35/6 square units)

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose we want to find the area bounded by two functions f(x) and g(x) in a given interval (x1, x2)

Such that f(x) > g(x) in the given interval.

This area then can be calculated as the integral between x1 and x2 for f(x) - g(x).

We want to find the area bounded by:

f(x) = y = x^2 + 1

g(x) = y = x

x = -1

x = 2

To find this area, we need to f(x) - g(x) between x = -1 and x = 2

This is:

\int\limits^2_{-1} {(f(x) - g(x))} \, dx

\int\limits^2_{-1} {(x^2 + 1 - x)} \, dx

We know that:

\int\limits^{}_{} {x} \, dx = \frac{x^2}{2}

\int\limits^{}_{} {1} \, dx = x

\int\limits^{}_{} {x^2} \, dx = \frac{x^3}{3}

Then our integral is:

\int\limits^2_{-1} {(x^2 + 1 - x)} \, dx = (\frac{2^3}{2}  + 2 - \frac{2^2}{2}) - (\frac{(-1)^3}{3}  + (-1) - \frac{(-1)^2}{2}  )

The right side is equal to:

(4 + 2 - 2) - ( -1/3 - 1 - 1/2) = 4 + 1/3 + 1 + 1/2 = 5 + 2/6 + 3/6 = 5 + 5/6

The bounded area is 5 + 5/6 square units.
