Answer:

If the variable Y being 5.5 it's because she was divisible by two. So if I divise X by 2 the reply is 0.5. So at least if y is 5.5, x is 0.5.

The answer to this probability question is .86 or 86%. The probability that a batch of 10,000 batteries will contain at least 175 defective batteries is 86 percent. I calculated the failure rate of 10,000 batteries (10k*.015) and yielded 150, meaning there will be 150 batteries that will be defective in a set of 10,000. Then i divided 150 by 175 to get the probability.

Seeds are often treated with fungicides to protect them in poor-draining, wet environments. A small-scale trial, involving six t

Answer:

0.0076 = 0.76% probability that all five plants emerged from treated seeds

Step-by-step explanation:

The plants were 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:

6 + 6 = 12 seeds, which means that $N = 12$

6 treated, which means that $k = 6$

Five sprouted, which means that $n = 5$

What is the probability that all five plants emerged from treated seeds?

This is P(X = 5). So

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

$P(X = 5) = h(5,12,5,6) = \frac{C_{6,5}*C_{6,0}}{C_{12,5}} = 0.0076$

0.0076 = 0.76% probability that all five plants emerged from treated seeds
