Answer:

0.3968 = 39.68% probability this shipment passes inspection.

Step-by-step explanation:

The parts 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:

50 parts means that N = 50

4 defective means that k = 4

10 are chosen, which means that n = 10

What is the probability this shipment passes inspection?

Probability that none is defective, so:

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

P(X = 0) = h(0,50,10,4) = \frac{C_{4,0}*C_{46,10}}{C_{50,10}} = 0.3968

0.3968 = 39.68% probability this shipment passes inspection.

yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

10 pizzas

Step-by-step explanation:

Jaxson is throwing a pizza party. He has 1\tfrac{1}{4}1 4 1 ​ pounds of cheese available and he needs \tfrac{1}{8} 8 1 ​ pound of cheese to make each pizza. How many pizzas can he make?

We can interprete the above question as:

1/8 pounds of cheese = 1 pizza

1 1/4 pounds of cheese = x pizzas

Cross Multiply

1/8 × x = 1 1/4 × 1

x = 1 1/4 ÷ 1/8

x = 5/4 ÷ 1/8

x = 5/4 × 8/1

x = 10 pizzas

x = 10 pizzas
