Answer:

0.25% probability that they are both defective

Step-by-step explanation:

For each computer chip, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they are defective, or they are not. The probability of a computer chip being defective is independent of other chips. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which 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)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

5% of the computer chips it makes are defective.

This means that p = 0.05

If an inspector chooses two computer chips randomly (meaning they are independent from each other), what is the probability that they are both defective?

This is P(X = 2) when n = 2. So

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 2) = C_{2,2}.(0.05)^{2}.(0.95)^{0} = 0.0025

0.25% probability that they are both defective

Gabe made a rectangular sandbox for his brother to play in. Gabe wants to paint only the sides of the sandbox. A prism has a len
alukav5142 [94]

Answer: The surface area of the sides of the sandbox that Gabe wants to paint is 47ft2

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi to answer this we have to apply the formula:

Surface Area of a rectangular prism = 2lw + 2wh + 2lh

Where:

l= length

w= width

h= height

Since the sandbox is open , it has one less surface (length x width), we have to add only one lw term.

Surface Area of the sandbox = lw + 2wh + 2lh

A = (4x5) + 2( 5x1.5) + 2( 4x1.5)

A = 20+15+12

A= 47 ft2

what does this mean when a rhombus is split into 2 triangles ; what's the formula to find the value of x? also it's about polygo
tangare [24]

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

The rhombus when split into two triangles will give us two equilateral triangles that are congruent to each other.

Therefore:

The two bases of both triangles will have equal angle measures of 4x + 5 each and a third angle measure of 8x - 6.

✅Formula to find the value of x:

(8x - 6) + 2(4x + 5) = 180° (sum of triangle)

8x - 6 + 8x + 10 = 180

8x + 8x - 6 + 10 = 180

16x + 4 = 180

16x + 4 - 4 = 180 - 4

16x = 176

16x/16 = 176/16

x = 11
