Answer:

0.5 ; 0.475 ; 0.689 ; 0.4013

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Rate of production of defective batteries p = 0.05

Number of batteries produced (n) = 10

The expected number of defective batteries = mean = n * p = 10 * 0.05 = 0.5 batteries

Variance of defective batteries :

Var(X) = n * p * q ; q = 1 - p

Hence,

Var(X) = 10 * 0.05 * 0.95 = 0.475

Standard deviation (X) = sqrt(variance) = sqrt(0.475) = 0.689

Probability that atleast 1 battery is defective :

Using the binomial probability function

P(x ≥ 1) = 1 - p(x = 0)

= 1 - q^n

= 1 - 0.95^10

= 1 - 0.59873693923837890625

= 0.40126306076162109375

= 0.4013

A coin is tossed and a number cube is rolled. What is the probability that the coin shows heads and the number cube shows 5? a.
Inessa [10]

Answer:

1/12

Step-by-step explanation:

P( coin = heads) = number of heads / total = 1/2

P( cube = 5) = number of 5's / total =1/6

P( heads, 5) =1/2 * 1/6 = 1/12

A line that passes through (-1, 6) and the origin
zmey [24]

Answer: The equation is y = -6*x

Step-by-step explanation:

I suppose that we want to find the equation for a line that passes through the point (-1, 6) and the origin (remember that the origin is the point (0,0))

A general linear equation is written as:

y = a*x + b

Where a is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

If this line passes through the points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂), then the slope of the line is equal to:

a = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

Now we know that our line passes through the points (0, 0) and (-1, 6), then the slope is:

a = (6 - 0)/(-1 - 0) = 6/-1 = -6

Then our equation is something like:

y = -6*x + b

To find the value of b we can use the fact that this line passes through the point (0, 0).

This means that when x = 0, y is also equal to zero.

If we replace these values in the equation we get:

0 = -6*0 + b

0 = b

Then our equation is:

y = -6*x

a hardware store charges a $30 rental fee and $15 per day to rent a power washer which equation correctly relates to the total c
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

y = 15x + 30

Step-by-step explanation:

The $30 rental fee is a flat fee.

The $15 per day can be noted as 15x.

y = 15x + 30

Which expression represent a number that is one fourth as great as 10-2
Nataliya [291]
I think the answer to the expression would be D. (10 - 2) x 4 because (10 - 2) would be multiplied 4 times, which means it would be four times greater. I hope this made sense and also helped you in some way.
