Entomologists estimate that an average person consumed almost a pound of bug parts each year. There are that many insect eggs, l

arvae, and miscellaneous body pieces in the food we eat and the liquids we drink. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) sets a Food Defect Action Level (FDAL) for each product. For example, the legal limit for peanut butter is 30 insect fragments per 100 grams. You just bought the crackers with 25 grams of peanut butter. What is the probability that the snack will include at least 3 crunchy critters

Answer:

0.9797

Step-by-step explanation:

We have X = number of insects in the 25bgrams of butter

Then the legal limit of concentration in peanut butter = 30 fragments/ 100 grams

Then insect amount in 25 grams =

E(X) = 30/100 x 25

= 0.3 x 25

= 7.5 fragments of insects

Using the poisson function in Excel, the probability of at least 3 crunchy critters

1 - p(X<=2)

p(X<=2) = POISSON (2, 7.5, TRUE) = 0.020156715

1 - 0.020156715

= 0.9797

Which set is closed under the operation multiplication?
oee [108]
I have another set of choices here:

A. {0.5, 1, 2} 


B. {1, 2, 4} 


C. {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} 


<span>D. {0} 
</span>
If you multiply two numbers from a closed set the answer is in the set. 
<span>So A is not closed because 2 x 2 = 4 which isn't in the set. Only 0.5, 1, and 2 are in set A. </span>

<span>Try multiplying the largest numbers in sets B, C, and D by themselves. You will soon discover the closed set.</span>

A spherical exercise ball has a maximum diameter of 30 inches when filled with air. The ball was completely empty at the start,
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

A) A(t)  =  4500*π  -  1600*t

B) A(4)  =  7730 in³

C) t  =  8,8 sec

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of the sphere is:

d max  =  30   r max  =  15 in

V(s) =  (4/3)*π*r³      V(s)  =   (4/3)*π* (15)³

V(s) = 4500*π

A)  Amount of air needed to fill the ball A(t)

A(t)  = Total max. volume of the sphere - rate of flux of air * time

A(t)  =  4500*π  -  1600*t    in³

B) After 4 minutes

A(4)  =  4500*π  - 6400

A(4)  =  14130 - 6400

A(4)  =  7730 in³

C)  A(t)  =  4500*π  -  1600*t  

when  A(t) = 0   the ball got its maximum volume then:

4500*π -  1600*t  =  0

t  =   14130/1600

t  =  8,8 sec

Triangle- interior angle<br> Please help !
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

x = 25

<B = 120 degrees

<C = 30 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Total angle measure of a triangle - 180 degrees

Add all the angles together to find the value of x

30 + 4x + 20 + x + 5 = 180

55 + 5x = 180

55 - 55 + 5x = 180 - 55

5x = 125

\frac{5x}{5} = \frac{125}{5}

x = 25

<B = 4(25) + 20

<B = 100 + 20

<B = 120

<C = 25 + 5

<C = 30
