You are going to make 5 assemblies, where each assembly requires the use of 1 Type A Bolt. You have a container of bolts that co

OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You are to make 5 assemblies.

Each assembly requires the use of 1 Type A bolt.

To make the 5 assemblies, you need 5 Type A bolts.

The container of bolts has a total of 60 bolts.

The focus - Type A bolts - is 20 out of this 60.

The probability of obtaining a Type A bolt at all, is 20/60, which is = 1/3

(A) What is the probability of taking the exact number of Type A bolts you need for your 5 assemblies, if you randomly take 10 bolts from the container?

- The exact number of Type A bolts you need for the 5 assemblies is 5

1/3 × 5/10 = 5/30 = 1/6 = 0.167

(B) What is the probability of taking/having less than 5 Type A bolts out of the randomly selected 10 bolts? The solution is to sum up the following:

1/3 × 4/10 = 0.133

1/3 × 3/10 = 0.1

1/3 × 2/10 = 0.067

1/3 × 1/10 = 0.033

1/3 × 0/10 = 0

TOTAL = 0.333

The faces on a number cube are labled 1,2,2,3,4, and 5the number cube is rolled 114 times how many times would you expect the nu

Mrac [35]

Given:

The faces on a number cube are labeled 1,2,2,3,4, and 5.

The number cube is rolled 114 times.

To find:

How many times would you expect the number 2 to appear?

Solution:

We have,

Total outcomes = 1,2,2,3,4, and 5.

Number of total outcomes = 6

Favorable outcomes = 2 and 2

Number of favorable outcomes = 2

The probability of getting 2 is:

$P(2)=\dfrac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Number of total outcomes}}$

$P(2)=\dfrac{2}{6}$

$P(2)=\dfrac{1}{3}$

Now, the expected number of times when 2 to appear is:

$E(x)=114\times P(2)$

$E(x)=114\times \dfrac{1}{3}$

$E(x)=38$

Therefore, the expected number of times is 38.

Checking account A charged a monthly fee of $5 and a per-check fee of $0.25, and checking account B charged a monthly fee of $6

Genrish500 [490]

First we need to know both the formula of A and B.

The formula of A is
C = 5 + 0.25p
with C representing total cost and p representing the amount of checks.

The formula of B is
C = 6 + 0.15p
with C representing total cost and p representing the amount of checks.

To find the point where A and B cost the same, we solve the following equation:
5 + 0.25p = 6 + 0.15p

Collecting terms gives us
-1 = -0.1p

Now we have to divide by -0.1 and we get.
10 = p
p = 10

So our answer: after 10 checks both accounts cost the same amount of money. Answer A.

Fiona needs to chose a five-character password with a combination of three letters and the even numbers 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8. If she

Yanka [14]

For the five characters of the five-character password, the first three slots are already taken for the initial F, J, S, the password would become,
FJS_ _
The last two slots could be any of the even digits. In the fourth slot, Fiona can have any of the 5 values. On the fifth slot, she can have only 4 choices as the other digit was already used. Multiplying 5 and 4, the answer would be 20.
