Bob has 120 beads

1 answer:

4 0

Bob has 10 green beads you can show this by dividing 120 by 4 and that then leaves 30 beads which is 1/4 of the original amount of beads. Now knowing that Bob has 30 beads you put it into an equation with x over 30 equal to 2/3 that then makes you able to see that if you multiple the denominator by 10 you get 30 so you do the same to the numerator causing x to be 20 and that is the amount of the red beads leaving 10 beads to be green.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number be x , then

$\frac{3}{4}$ x = 15 ( multiply both sides by 4 to clear the fraction )

3x = 60 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 20 , then

$\frac{4}{5}$ × 20 = 4 × 4 = 16

A pharmaceutical company receives large shipments of aspirin tablets. The acceptance sampling plan is to randomly select and tes

Pavel [41]

Answer:

0.818

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the shipment has a ton of aspirin tablets, we can assume that we pick 13 of them with reposition, because the probability shoudn't change dramatically from the probability of picking without reposition if we do so.

We call D the amount of defective tablets. If we assume that we pick the tablets with reposition, then we obtain that D is a random variable of Binomial distribution with parameters 13 and 0.6 (the probability of picking a defective tablet).

We want D to be at most one. To calculate the probability of that event we add up the probability of D being equal to 0 and the probability of D being equal to one. Since D is binomial, we have
