Answer:

c. 40.32%

Step-by-step explanation:

8.77-6.25 = 2.52

2.52/6.25 x 100 = 40.32%

Hope this helps!

Mr. Gengel wants to make a shelf with boards that are 1 1/3 feet long. If he has an 18 foot board, how many pieces can he cut fr

In-s [12.5K]

Let us assume that the number of pieces that can be cut = x
Length of each shelf board = 1 1/3 feet
= 4/3 feet
Total length of board available for making shelf = 18 foot
Then
4x/3 = 18
4x = 18 * 3
4x = 54
x = 54/4
= 13 2/4
As we can see from the above deduction, 13 shelf's can be made from the 18 foot board. There will be about 2/4th of the board remaining, but that 2/4th part will be wasted as it cannot create a complete board.I hope the answer is to your satisfaction and the explanation is clear to you.

Every time I use a piece of scrap paper, I crumple it up and try to shoot it inside the recycling bin across the room. I'm prett

Using the binomial distribution, it is found that there is a 0.0012 = 0.12% probability at least two of them make it inside the recycling bin.

<h3>What is the binomial distribution formula?</h3>

The formula is:

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

The parameters are:

x is the number of successes.

n is the number of trials.

p is the probability of a success on a single trial.

With 5 shoots, the probability of making at least one is $\frac{211}{243}$ , hence the probability of making none, P(X = 0), is $\frac{232}{243}$ , hence:

$(1 - p)^5 = \frac{232}{243}$

$\sqrt[5]{(1 - p)^5} = \sqrt[5]{\frac{232}{243}}$

1 - p = 0.9908

p = 0.0092

Then, with 6 shoots, the parameters are:

n = 6, p = 0.0092.

The probability that at least two of them make it inside the recycling bin is:

$P(X \geq 2) = 1 - P(X < 2)$

In which:

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

Then:

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{6,0}.(0.0092)^{0}.(0.9908)^{6} = 0.9461$

$P(X = 1) = C_{6,1}.(0.0092)^{1}.(0.9908)^{5} = 0.0527$

Then:

P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.9461 + 0.0527 = 0.9988

$P(X \geq 2) = 1 - P(X < 2) = 1 - 0.9988 = 0.0012$

0.0012 = 0.12% probability at least two of them make it inside the recycling bin.
