A company that produces fine crystal knows from experience that 13% of its goblets have cosmetic flaws and must be classified as

Kisachek [45]

Answer:

(a) The probability that only one goblet is a second among six randomly selected goblets is 0.3888.

(b) The probability that at least two goblet is a second among six randomly selected goblets is 0.1776.

(c) The probability that at most five must be selected to find four that are not seconds is 0.9453.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X = number of seconds in the batch.

The probability of the random variable X is, p = 0.31.

The random variable X follows a Binomial distribution with parameters n and p.

The probability mass function of X is:

$P(X=x)={n\choose x}p^{x}(1-p)^{n-x};\ x=0,1,2,3...$

(a)

Compute the probability that only one goblet is a second among six randomly selected goblets as follows:

$P(X=1)={6\choose 1}0.13^{1}(1-0.13)^{6-1}\\=6\times 0.13\times 0.4984\\=0.3888$

Thus, the probability that only one goblet is a second among six randomly selected goblets is 0.3888.

(b)

Compute the probability that at least two goblet is a second among six randomly selected goblets as follows:

P (X ≥ 2) = 1 - P (X < 2)

$=1-{6\choose 0}0.13^{0}(1-0.13)^{6-0}-{6\choose 1}0.13^{1}(1-0.13)^{6-1}\\=1-0.4336+0.3888\\=0.1776$

Thus, the probability that at least two goblet is a second among six randomly selected goblets is 0.1776.

(c)

If goblets are examined one by one then to find four that are not seconds we need to select either 4 goblets that are not seconds or 5 goblets including only 1 second.

P (4 not seconds) = P (X = 0; n = 4) + P (X = 1; n = 5)

$={4\choose 0}0.13^{0}(1-0.13)^{4-0}+{5\choose 1}0.13^{1}(1-0.13)^{5-1}\\=0.5729+0.3724\\=0.9453$

Thus, the probability that at most five must be selected to find four that are not seconds is 0.9453.

$100 is invested at 12% per year. If the amount is compounded annually, write the total amount after 2 years in exponential func

Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

A = $100(1.12)^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard formula for compound interest is given as;

A = P(1+r/n)^(nt) .....1

Where;

A = final amount/value

P = initial amount/value (principal)

r = rate yearly

n = number of times compounded yearly.

t = time of investment in years

For this case;

P = $100

t = 2years

n = 1

r = 12% = 0.12

Substituting the values, we have;

A = $100(1+0.12)^(2)

A = $100(1.12)^2

An orchard sells 4 pounds of apples for one dollar how much would 5 pounds of apples cost

Mrac [35]

Answer:

1.25

Step-by-step explanation:4 pounds equal to 1 dollar so that means that each pound equals to 0.25 cents. SO, now you multiply 0.25 x 5= 1.25
