In Leakwater township, there are two plumbers. On a particular day three Leakwater residents call village plumbers independently

Marianna [84]

Answer:

25% probability that all three residents will choose the same plumbe

Step-by-step explanation:

For each resident, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they choose the first plumbe, or they choose the second. The plumbers are chosen independent of each other. 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.

Each resident randomly chooses one of the two plumbers.

This means that $p = \frac{1}{2} = 0.5$

Three residents:

This means that $n = 3$

What is the probability that all three residents will choose the same plumb

This is P(X = 0)(all choose the second pumble) or P(X = 3)(all choose the first pumble). So

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

$P(X = 0) = C_{3,0}.(0.5)^{0}.(0.5)^{3} = 0.125$

$P(X = 3) = C_{3,3}.(0.5)^{3}.(0.5)^{0} = 0.125$

$p = P(X = 0) + P(X = 3) = 2*0.125 = 0.25$

25% probability that all three residents will choose the same plumbe

Is -9, -4, 1 and 6 arithmetic

ra1l [238]

Answer:

Yes. It is an arithmetic sequence.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sequence would be add 5 every time.

-9 + 5 = -4

-4 + 5 = 1

1 + 5 = 6

The length of a log of wood is 90 in. How many cuts do you need to make to obtain

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

The greatest number of pieces will be 12 where each piece will have a different length and the length of each piece is a whole number, in inches and the remaining piece length will be 12 in(90 - 78).

<h3>What is a sequence?</h3>

It is defined as the systematic way of representing the data that follows a certain rule of arithmetic.

The total length of the wood = 90 in

We have to cut it into the greatest number of pieces, where each piece will have a different length and the length of each piece is a whole number, in inches.

We can cut it like:

1 in, 2 in, 3 in, 4 in, and so on

The above shows the arithmetic sequence,

The sum of the n natural number is given by:

$\rm S_n = \dfrac{n(n+1)}{2}$

$\rm 90 = \dfrac{n(n+1)}{2}$

After solving, we will get a quadratic equation:

n² + n -180 = 0

After solving, we will get:

n = 12.92 and n = -13.92(term can not be negative)

n = 12 (taking whole number)

Thus, the greatest number of pieces will be 12 where each piece will have a different length and the length of each piece is a whole number, in inches and the remaining piece length will be 12 in(90 - 78).
