A sequence of Bernoulli trials consists of choosing components at random from a batch of components. A selected component is eit

her classified as defective or nondefective. If the probability that a selected component is non-defective is 0.8, find the following probabilities: a) Three non-defective components in a batch of seven components. b) 8 non-defective components are drawn before the first defective component is chosen.

Answer:

a) 0.0287 = 2.87% probability that three non-defective components in a batch of seven components.

b) 0.0336 = 3.36% probability that 8 non-defective components are drawn before the first defective component is chosen.

Step-by-step explanation:

A sequence of Bernoulli trials composes the binomial distribution.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

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

In which 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)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

The probability that a selected component is non-defective is 0.8

This means that p = 0.8

a) Three non-defective components in a batch of seven components.

This is P(X = 3) when n = 7. So

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

P(X = 3) = C_{7,3}.(0.8)^{3}.(0.2)^{4} = 0.0287

0.0287 = 2.87% probability that three non-defective components in a batch of seven components.

b) 8 non-defective components are drawn before the first defective component is chosen.

Now the order is important, so the we just multiply the probabilities.

8 non-defective, each with probability 0.8, and then a defective, with probability 0.2. So

p = (0.8)^8*0.2 = 0.0336

0.0336 = 3.36% probability that 8 non-defective components are drawn before the first defective component is chosen.

Answer:

$2.35 for one video

Step-by-step explanation:

You set up two equations:

$7.50= p + 2v

$12.20= p + 4v

You then set both equal to p

p=-4v+12.20 and p=-2v+7.50

So you can set them equal to each other and solve for v (the cost of one video)

v= $2.35

A survey about the student government program at a school finds the following results:
Serhud [2]
A total of 440 students took part in the survey. Each student makes up 0.8181818182% of the central angle of the circle graph. You get to this number by dividing 360 degrees by 440 students. Then you simply multiply this number by 110 students (who liked the program).

0.8181818182%*110=90 degrees

The debate team is showing a video of their recent debate. The first showing begins at 3:15 p.m. The second showing starts at 4:
Ghella [55]
Given:
3:15 pm - start of first showing.
30 minutes break;
20 minutes late - 2nd showing.
4:50 - start of second showing.

4:50 - 0:20 = 4:30 should be the start of the second showing.
4:00 - 4:30 = 1/2 hour break
3:15 - 4:00 = duration of the 1st showing. 45 minutes in all.

4:50 + 0:45 = 5:35 pm end of the 2nd showing.

Yes, the 2nd showing will be over by 6:30 pm.
