At a snack food manufacturing facility, the quality control engineer must ensure that all products feature the appropriate expir

ation date. Suppose that a box of 60 candy bars includes 12 which do not have the proper printed expiration date. The quality control engineer, in inspecting the box, grabs a handful of seven candy bars. What is the probability that there are exactly 3 faulty candy bars among the seven

Answer:

0.1108 = 11.08% probability that there are exactly 3 faulty candy bars among the seven.

Step-by-step explanation:

The bars are chosen without replacement, which means that the hypergeometric distribution is used to solve this question.

Hypergeometric distribution:

The probability of x successes is given by the following formula:

P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}

In which:

x is the number of successes.

N is the size of the population.

n is the size of the sample.

k is the total number of desired outcomes.

Combinations formula:

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)!}

In this question:

60 total candies means that N = 70

12 are faulty, which means that k = 12

Seven are chosen, so n = 7

What is the probability that there are exactly 3 faulty candy bars among the seven?

This is P(X = 3). So

P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}

P(X = 3) = h(3,70,7,12) = \frac{C_{12,3}*C_{48,4}}{C_{60,7}} = 0.1108

0.1108 = 11.08% probability that there are exactly 3 faulty candy bars among the seven.

Answer:

374.1

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of Hexagon = \frac{3\sqrt{3} }{2} * a^{2}

The ' a ' is the side length.

So now we just plug in the values

\frac{3\sqrt{3} }{2} *12^{2} = 374.12

What is the value of tan(60°)? One-half StartRoot 3 EndRoot StartFraction StartRoot 3 EndRoot Over 2 EndFraction StartFraction 1
Ratling [72]

Answer:

\sqrt3

Step-by-step explanation:

To find:

The value of tan60^\circ = ?

Solution:

Kindly consider the equilateral \triangle ABC as attached in the answer area.

Let the side of triangle = a units

Let us draw the perpendicular from vertex A to side BC.

It will divide the side BC in two equal parts.

i.e. BD = DC = \frac{a}{2}

Using Pythagorean Theorem in \triangle ABD:

\text{Hypotenuse}^{2} = \text{Base}^{2} + \text{Perpendicular}^{2}

Side AD = \frac{\sqrt3}{2}a

Using Trigonometric ratio:

tan\theta = \dfrac{Perpendicular}{Base}

tanB = \dfrac{AD}{BD}

Putting the values of AD and BD:

tan60^\circ=\dfrac{\frac{\sqrt3}{2}a}{\frac{1}{2}a}\\\Rightarrow tan60^\circ = \bold{\sqrt3}
