In a carnival game, there are six identical boxes, one of which contains a prize. A contestant wins the prize by selecting the b

ox containing it. Before each game, the old prize is removed and another prize is placed at random in one of the six boxes. Is it appropriate to use the binomial probability distribution to find the probability that a contestant who plays the game five times wins exactly twice?
A) Yes. The five trials are independent, have only two outcomes, and have the same P(success); n = 5, r = 2, p = 1/5.
B) Yes. The five trials are independent, have only two outcomes, and have the same P(success); n = 2, r = 5, p = 1/6.
C) No. The five trials are independent, but have more than two outcomes.
D) Yes. The five trials are independent, have only two outcomes, and have the same P(success); n = 5, r = 2, p = 1/6.

Answer:

D) Yes. The five trials are independent, have only two outcomes, and have the same P(success); n = 5, r = 2, p = 1/6.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Number of boxes = 6

Box containing a prize = 1

Probability of success, p = box containing a price / number of boxes = 1 /6

Number of trials = 5

Probability of success on exactly 2 trials, r = 2

Hence,

P(r = 2) = nCr * p^r * (1-p)^(n-r)

n = 5 ; r = 2 ; p = 1/6

Using a binomial probability calculator :

P(r = 2) = 0.1608

Given:

The right triangular prism.

Height of prism = 28 in.

Hypotenuse of base = 25 in.

leg of base = 24 in.

To find:

The lateral surface area of the prism.

Solution:

Pythagoras theorem:

Hypotenuse^2=Perpendicular^2+Base^2

Using Pythagoras theorem in the base triangle, we get

25^2=24^2+Base^2

625-576=Base^2

\sqrt{49}=Base

7=Base

The perimeter of the triangular base is:

P=7+25+24

P=56

Lateral area of a triangular prism is:

A=Ph

Where, P is the perimeter of the triangular base and h is the height of the prism.

Putting P=56,h=28 in the above formula, we get

A=56(28)

A=1568

Therefore, the lateral area of the prism is 1568 in².

For the equation y - x < 0,
y < x
The shaded portion will be under the dashed line joining points (-2, -2) and (3, 3).

for the equation x - 1 > 0,
x > 1
The shaded portion will be to the right of the dashed line joining points (1, 5) and (1, -3).

The portion affected by the two shadings will be the portion common to the right of the dashed line joining points (1, 5) and (1, -3) and under the dashed line joining points (-2, -2) and (3, 3).
Therefore the correct answer is option c.

A chemical company makes two brands of antifreeze. The first brand is 55 % pure antifreeze, and the second brand is 80 % pure an
Likurg_2 [28]

We have 55% and 80% antifreeze.  We need 90 gallons of 75%.  

F - 55% and E - 80%

A) F + E = 90

B) .55 F + .80 E = 67.50 (which is .75 * 90)  Multiplying A) by -.55

A) -.55 F -.55 E = -49.50 (which is -.55 * 90) then adding A) & B)

.25 E = 18

E = 72 gallons of 80% and

F = 18 gallons of 55%

********* DOUBLE CHECK ******************

72 * .80 = 57.60  and 18 * .55 = 9.90

57.60 + 9.90 = 67.50 gallons of antifreeze and we have 90 total gallons

(67.50 / 90) * 100 = 75% correct!
