Answer:

0.4466 = 44.66% probability that, in exactly one of the two classes, all 8 students pass.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each student, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they pass, or they do not. The probability of an student passing is independent of other students, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used 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.

Probability that all students pass in a class:

Class of 8 students, which means that n = 8

Each student has a 95% chance of passing their class independent of the other students, which means that p = 0.95

This probability is P(X = 8). So

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

P(X = 8) = C_{8,8}.(0.95)^{8}.(0.05)^{0} = 0.6634

Find the probability that, in exactly one of the two classes, all 8 students pass.

Two classes means that n = 2

0.6634 probability all students pass in a class, which means that p = 0.6634.

This probability is P(X = 1). So

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

P(X = 2) = C_{2,1}.(0.6634)^{1}.(0.3366)^{1} = 0.4466

0.4466 = 44.66% probability that, in exactly one of the two classes, all 8 students pass.

Zoro Manufacturing Company manufacturers wooden picture frames. Each piece of wood yields 15 frames. Each piece of wood costs $1
sesenic [268]
To determine the cost of manufacturing one picture frame, add all the known cost by the number of frames produced. With the basis of one hour of operation,

                                  Cost of wood per frame = $18.75 / 15 = $1.25

                           Cost of direct labor per frame = $ 13.50 / 65 = $ 0.21

Adding all up the costs, 

                                     total cost = $1.25 + $0.21 = $1.46

Therefore, manufacturing one picture frame costs approximately $1.46.

I have 30 photos to post on my website. I'm planning to post these on two web pages, one marked "Friends" and the other marked "
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:a) 870

b) 435

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

number of photos to be posted =n = 30

number of web pages on which they would be posted is 2

Since the order in which the photos appear on the web pages matters,

Number of ways = 30 permutation 2

=870 ways

b)

Since the order in which the photos appear on the web pages does not matter,

Number of ways = 30 combination 2

= 435 ways
