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

Mr. Jackson filled up his 15-gallon gas tank for $37.50. What was the price 10
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

Unit Price =\$2.5 \:per\: gallon

Step-by-step explanation:

15 Gallon of Gas costs $37.50

To determine the Unit Price, we divide the Total Cost by the number of gallons of gas bought.

Unit Price

=\dfrac{\$37.50}{15gallons}\\Unit Price =\$2.5 \:per\: gallon

For the first one to find the total area you have to first find the area of the triangle 1/2(10x12.5)=62.5 and then the square (13.4x12.5)=167.5 which is 10468.75 totaled

Find the value of a in the picture
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

The measure of arc a is 86°

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The measure of the inner angle is the semi-sum of the arcs comprising it and its opposite.

so

86°=(1/2)[arc c+arc a]

see the attached figure with letters to better understand the problem

In this problem

Triangles ABO and CDO are congruent by SSS postulate theorem

∠AOB=∠COD

∠AOB=arc a -----> by central angle

∠COD=arc c -----> by central angle

therefore

The measure of arc a is congruent with the measure of arc c

arc a=arc c

so

86°=(1/2)[2arc a]

86°=[arc a]

arc a=86°
