We are given ratio nickel to zinc to copper = 2:7:9.
From this ratio we can see that <em>ratio of nickel to zinc is 2:7</em>.
Let us assume number of pounds of nickel have to be used to create alloy that contains 4.9 lb of zinc is x pounds.
So, we can setup a proportion as :
x : 4.9 = 2:7
Or
On cross multiplication, we get
7x= 4.9× 2
7x = 9.8
Dividing both sides by 7, we get
x = 1.4.
<h3>Therefore, 1.4 pounds of nickel have to be used to create alloy that contains 4.9 lb of zinc.</h3><h3 />Answer:
a) The probability that at least 5 ties are too tight is P=0.0432.
b) The probability that at most 12 ties are too tight is P=1.
Step-by-step explanation:
In this problem, we could represent the proabilities of this events with the Binomial distirbution, with parameter p=0.1 and sample size n=20.
a) We can express the probability that at least 5 ties are too tight as:
The probability that at least 5 ties are too tight is P=0.0432.
a) We can express the probability that at most 12 ties are too tight as:
The probability that at most 12 ties are too tight is P=1.
