Thirty percent of all telephones of a certain type are submitted for service while under warranty. Of these, 70% can be repaired

, whereas the other 30% must be replaced with new units. If a company purchases ten of these telephones, what is the probability that exactly two will end up being replaced under warranty? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

Answer:

X \sim Binom(n=10, p=0.3)

And for this case we want to find this probability:

P(X =2)

And we can use the probability mass function and we got:

P(X=2)=(10C2)(0.3)^2 (1-0.3)^{10-2}=0.233

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A Bernoulli trial is "a random experiment with exactly two possible outcomes, "success" and "failure", in which the probability of success is the same every time the experiment is conducted". And this experiment is a particular case of the binomial experiment.

The binomial distribution is a "DISCRETE probability distribution that summarizes the probability that a value will take one of two independent values under a given set of parameters. The assumptions for the binomial distribution are that there is only one outcome for each trial, each trial has the same probability of success, and each trial is mutually exclusive, or independent of each other".

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:  

P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}  

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:  

nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}  

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable of interest, on this case we now that:

X \sim Binom(n=10, p=0.3)

And for this case we want to find this probability:

P(X =2)

And we can use the probability mass function and we got:

P(X=2)=(10C2)(0.3)^2 (1-0.3)^{10-2}=0.233

There are 12 boys and 10 girls in your gym class. If 6 boys joined the class, how many girls would need to join for the ratio of
Shkiper50 [21]
Number of boys in the gym class = 12
Number of girls in the gym class = 10
then
Ratio of boys to ratio of girls = 12:10
                                               = 6:5
Now
Number of boys joining the gym class later = 6
So after the new boys join the number of boys in the gym class becomes = 18
The ratio of boys to girls have to remain the same
Let us assume that the number of girls that need to join the gym class = x
Then
6/5 = 18/(x + 10)
6(x + 10) = 18 * 5
6x + 60 = 90
6x = 90 - 60
6x = 30
x = 30/6
   = 5
So the number of girls that need to join the gym class to keep the ratio same is 5. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand.

3665 is not divisible by nine, as 3665/9 is 407.2222222.

5 boxes + 9 boxes = 14 boxes. 193 CDs + 108 CDs = 301 CDs. 301/14 = 21.5. This means that they do not divide evenly among the boxes.

TL;DR:

No

No
