Marlene lives in a building where half the residents live on the first floor and half live on the second floor. She wants to est

imate the probability that, out of 3 randomly selected residents, 1 or 2 live on the first floor.
She uses a coin to conduct a simulation, by letting H represent someone living on the first floor and T represent someone living on the second floor and then flipping the coin three times. She repeats this process for a total of 15 trials. The results are shown in the table.

Estimated probability that 1 or 2 of 3 randomly selected residents live on the first floor: ________

A.1/2
B.1/6
C.5/6
D.5/12

Two types of defects are observed in the production of integrated circuit boards. It is estimated that 6% of the boards have sol
aalyn [17]

Answer:

(a) 0.09

(b) 0.06

(c) 0.0018

(d) 0.9118

(e) 0.03

Step-by-step explanation:

Let <em>A</em> = boards have solder defects and <em>B</em> = boards have surface defects.

The proportion of boards having solder defects is, P (A) = 0.06.

The proportion of boards having surface-finish defects is, P (B) = 0.03.

It is provided that the events A and B are independent, i.e.

P(A\cap B)=P(A)\times P(B)

(a)

Compute the probability that either a solder defect or a surface-finish defect or both are found as follows:

= P (A or B) + P (A and B)

=P(A)+P(B)-P(A\cap B)+P(A\cap B)\\=P(A)+P(B)\\=0.06+0.03\\=0.09

Thus, the probability that either a solder defect or a surface-finish defect or both are found is 0.09.

(b)

The probability that a solder defect is found is 0.06.

(c)

The probability that both defect are found is:

P(A\cap B)=P(A)\times P(B)\\=0.06\times0.03\\=0.0018

Thus, the probability that both defect are found is 0.0018.

(d)

The probability that none of the defect is found is:

P(A^{c}\cup B^{c})=1-P(A\cup B)\\=1-P(A)-P(B)+P(A\cap B)\\=1-P(A)-P(B)+[P(A)\times P(B)]\\=1-0.06-0.03+(0.06\times0.03)\\=0.9118

Thus, the probability that none of the defect is found is 0.9118.

(e)

The probability that the defect found is a surface finish is 0.03.

Can some one help me find x?
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

x = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Exterior angles are equal.

7x - 3 = 6x + 17

Add 3 and subtract 6x to both sides.

x = 20 is the answer.
