Colby is making a home video consisting of a 5-minute introduction followed by several short skits. Each skit is 6 minutes long.

<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is: There are a total of 16 skits in the video.

From the statement, we know that the total length of the video is 101 minutes and it contains a 5-minute introduction, the rest of the minutes are short skits (which are 6 minutes long each one).

So, we need to write the following equations:

First equation:

$TotalDuration=Introduction+n*Skit$

Second equation:

$Skit=6Minutes$

Where,

$TotalDuration=101Minutes\\Introduction=5Minutes\\n=NumberOfSkits\\Skit=6Minutes$

So, replacing and substituting the second equation into the first equation we have:

$101Minutes=5Minutes+n*6Minutes\\n*6Minutes=101Minutes-5Minutes\\n*6Minutes=96Minutes\\n=\frac{96Minutes}{6Minutes}=16$

So, there are a total of 16 skits in the video.

Let's prove it substituting "n" into the first equation:

$101Minutes=5Minutes+16*6minutes\\101Minutes=5Minutes+96Minutes\\101Minutes=101Minutes$

Have a nice day!

A manufacturer of matches randomly and independently puts 23 matches in each box of matches produced. The company knows that one

Answer:

0.9855 or 98.55%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of each individual match being flawed is p = 0.008. The probability that a matchbox will have one or fewer matches with a flaw is the same as the probability of a matchbox having exactly one or exactly zero matches with a flaw:

$P(X\leq 1)=P(X=0)+P(X=1)\\P(X\leq 1)=(1-p)^{23}+23*(1-p)^{23-1}*p\\P(X\leq 1)=(1-0.008)^{23}+23*(1-0.008)^{23-1}*0.008\\P(X\leq 1)=0.8313+0.1542\\P(X\leq 1)=0.9855$
