Answer:

The probability is   P(X <  3) =  0.7843

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The low yield rate is  q = 0.98

    The sample size n = 80

Hence the probability that the bottle is bad

       p = 1- q

=>    p = 1 - 0.98

=>     p =0.02

Generally the distribution of yield follows a binomial distribution  

i.e  

         X  \~ \ \ \  B(n , p)

and the probability distribution function for binomial  distribution is  

      P(X = x) =  ^{n}C_x *  p^x *  (1- p)^{n-x}

Here C stands for combination hence we are going to be making use of the combination function in our calculators  

Generally the probability less than three bottles are bad is mathematically represented as

    P(X <  3) = P(X = 0 ) + P(X = 1 )+ P(X = 2)

=>  P(X <  3) = ^{80}C_0 *  0.02^0 *  (1- 0.02)^{80-0} +^{80}C_1 *  0.02^1 *  (1- 0.02)^{80-1}+ ^{80}C_2 *  0.02^2 *  (1- 0.02)^{80-2}

=>  P(X <  3) = 1 *  1 * 0.1986 + 80 *  0.02 *  0.2027 + 3160 *  0.0004 * 0,2068

=>  P(X <  3) =  0.7843

What is the difference between 2/3 and 1/6 ?
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer: 1/2

Explain how you would use a number line to find to find the absolute value of-12
victus00 [196]
So a absolute value is just the opposite of the value given, (unless it is a positive number) so you start on -12 and count 24 units to the right so it would make positive 12
