Answer:

$\frac{25}{16}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Apply exponent rule: $x^{-y}=\frac{1}{x^y}$

$(\frac{4}{5}) ^{-2}=\frac{1}{\left(\frac{4}{5}\right)^2}=\frac{1}{\frac{16}{25}}=\frac{25}{16}$

An inspector samples four PC’s from a steady stream of computers that is known to be 12% nonconforming. What is the probability

yarga [219]

Answer: 0.067

Step-by-step explanation:

Binomial distribution formula :-

$P(X)=^nC_xp^x(1-p)^{n-x}$ , here P(x) is the probability of getting success in x trials , n is total number of trials and p is the probability of getting success in each trial.

Given : n = 4 , p = 12 % = 0.12 and x =2

Then , $P(2)=^4C_2(0.12)^2(1-0.12)^{4-2}$

$\Rightarrow\ P(2)=\dfrac{4!}{2!2!}(0.12)^2(0.88)^2=0.06690816\approx0.067$

∴ The probability of selecting two nonconforming units in the sample = 0.067

Nick spent 34 minutes on the phone while routing 17 phone calls. In all, how many phone calls does Nick have to route to spend a

Yanka [14]

Answer:

25 phone calls

Step-by-step explanation:

Create a proportion where x is the number of phone calls for 50 minutes on the phone:

$\frac{34}{17}$ = $\frac{50}{x}$

Cross multiply and solve for x:

34x = 850

x = 25

So, Nick would have to make 25 phone calls
