Samir is an expert marksman. When he takes aim at a particular target on the shooting range, there is a 0.950.950, point, 95 pro

bability that he will hit it. One day, Samir decides to attempt to hit 101010 such targets in a row.
Assuming that Samir is equally likely to hit each of the 101010 targets, what is the probability that he will miss at least one of them?

Answer:

40.1% probability that he will miss at least one of them

Step-by-step explanation:

For each target, there are only two possible outcomes. Either he hits it, or he does not. The probability of hitting a target is independent of other targets. 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.

0.95 probaiblity of hitting a target

This means that p = 0.95

10 targets

This means that n = 10

What is the probability that he will miss at least one of them?

Either he hits all the targets, or he misses at least one of them. The sum of the probabilities of these events is decimal 1. So

P(X = 10) + P(X < 10) = 1

We want P(X < 10). So

P(X < 10) = 1 - P(X = 10)

In which

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

P(X = 10) = C_{10,10}.(0.95)^{10}.(0.05)^{0} = 0.5987

P(X < 10) = 1 - P(X = 10) = 1 - 0.5987 = 0.401

40.1% probability that he will miss at least one of them

The pipe fitting industry had 546.5 thousand jobs in 2015 and is expected to decline at an average rate of 3 thousand jobs per y
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

The amount of jobs from fitting industry shall decline in 5.5 percent from 2015 to 2025.

Step-by-step explanation:

Due to the assumption of a yearly average rate, a linear function model shall be used. The expected amount of jobs (n) after a certain amount of years (t) is given by the following formula:

n = n_{o} + \frac{\Delta n}{\Delta t}\cdot t

Where:

n_{o} - Initial amount of jobs in pipe fitting industry, measured in thousands.

\frac{\Delta n}{\Delta t} - Average yearly rate, measured in thousands per year. (A decline is indicated by a negative sign)

If n_{o} = 546.5, t = 2025-2015 = 10\,years and \frac{\Delta n}{\Delta t} = -3\,\frac{1}{years}, then:

n = 546.5+\left(-3\,\frac{1}{year}\right)\cdot (10\,years)

n = 516.5

The percent change in jobs from pipe fitting industry is calculated as follows:

\%n = \left(1-\frac{n}{n_{o}}\right)\times 100\,\%

\% n = \left(1-\frac{516.5}{546.5}\right)\times 100\,\%

\%n = 5.5\,\%

The amount of jobs from fitting industry shall decline in 5.5 percent from 2015 to 2025.

Stephen uses \dfrac{2}{25}
zepelin [54]

Answer:

13\dfrac{3}{4}$ servings

Step-by-step explanation:

Stephen uses \dfrac{2}{25} kilograms of tofu in each serving of his dish.

He has 1\dfrac{1}{10} kilograms of tofu.

We want to determine how many servings Stephen can make.

To do this, we divide the total weight of tofu by the weight per serving.

\dfrac{\text{Total Weight(in kg)}}{\text{Weight(kg) per serving}} =\dfrac{1\dfrac{1}{10}}{ \dfrac{2}{25}}\\ = \dfrac{11}{10}\div  \dfrac{2}{25}\\\\= \dfrac{11}{10}X  \dfrac{25}{2}\\\\= \dfrac{11X25}{10X2}\\\\= \dfrac{275}{20}\\\\=13\dfrac{3}{4}$ servings

Stephen can make 13\dfrac{3}{4}$ servings .
