Answer: 0.0386

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The probability hat the frozen chickens contain enough salmonella bacteria to cause illness if improperly cooked : p= 0.30

Sample size : n = 12

Let x = Number of contaminated chickens

Here , two outcomes for any chicken (either contaminated or not) , so it follows binomial distribution.

Binomial probability formula:

P(X=x)  = \ ^nC_x p^x(1-p)^{n-x}

The probability that the consumer will have more than 6 contaminated chickens :-

P(X>6)=P(X=7)+P(X=8)+P(X=9)+P(X=10)+P(X=11)+P(X=12)\\\\=^{12}C_6(0.3)^6(0.7)^6+^{12}C_7(0.3)^7(0.7)^5+^{12}C_8(0.3)^8(0.7)^4+^{12}C_9(0.3)^9(0.7)^3+^{12}C_{10}(0.3)^{10}(0.7)^2+^{12}C_{11}(0.3)^{11}(0.7)^1+^{12}C_0(0.3)^{12}(0.7)^0

=0.03860084306\approx0.0386<em>  (simplified)</em>

<em />

Hence, the required probability = 0.0386

navik [9.2K]

Set u a ratio of height over shadow:

Lance = 5 feet tall / 8 foot shadow

Tree = X feet tall / 32 foot shadow.

Set the ratios equal to each other and solve for X:

5/8 = x/32

Cross multiply:

8x = 160

Divide both sides by 8:

x = 160/8

x = 20

The tree is 20 feet tall.

Softa [21]

Find how fast she runs 1 km:

18/2 = 9 minutes.

So we know have K = 9t

Subtract 18 from both sides:

K-18 = 9t -18

Rewrite the right side:

K-18 = 9(t-2)
