Answer:

The probability that two of them

die is 0.257

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we have that the mortality rate is 0.1

So the probability that they will survive is 1-0.1 = 0.9

Now, we want to check that two will die

We are going you use the Bernoulli approximation of the Binomial theorem as follows

= nCr * p^n * q^(n-r)

where n = 16

r = 2

P = 0.1

q = 0.9

Substituting these values;

14 C 2 * 0.1^2 * 0.9^12

= 0.257

A total of h males and (h - 2) females visit the museum on a certain day. If total of visitors for that day is 80, what is the v
Akimi4 [234]

Given:

Number of males = h

Number of females = (h-2)

Total number of visitors = 80

To find:

The value of h.

Solution:

We have,

Number of males = h

Number of females = (h-2)

So, the total number of visitors is:

Total=h+(h-2)

Total=2h-2

It is given that the total number of visitors is 80. So,

2h-2=80

2h=80+2

2h=82

Divide both sides by 2.

h=\dfrac{82}{2}

h=41

Therefore, the correct option is D.
