Answer:

a.) 0.1028

b.) 0.6477

c.) 0.0388

d.) 3

e.) 2.55

Step-by-step explanation:

Forming a binomial Probability distribution

n = 20

Probability of success for Weld metal failure = 85%

Probability of success for base metal failure = 15%

We use the probabilit distribution formula of combination to solve the problem.

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

a.) if exactly 5 are base metal failures, then p = 15 and our solution becomes:

P(x=5) = 20C5 * 0.15^5 * 0.85^15

P(x=5) = 0.1028

b.) probability that fewer than 4 are base metal failure= P(x=0) + P(x=1) + P(x=2) + P(x=3)

P(x=0) = 20C0 * 0.15^0 * 0.85^20 = 0.0388

P(x=1) = 20C1 * 0.15¹ * 0.85^19 = 0.1368

P(x=2) = 20C2 * 0.15² * 0.85^18 = 0.2293

P(x=3) = 20C3 * 0.15³ * 0.85^17 = 0.2428

Probability that fewer than 4 are base metal failures becomes: 0.038 + 0.1368 + 0.2293 + 0.2428 = 0.6477

c.) probability that none of them are results of base metal failure = P(x=0). As earlier calculated,

P(x=0) = 0.0388

d.) mean of base metal failures = np = 20*0.15 = 3

e.) standard deviation of base metal failures = √np(1-p)

=3 * (1 - 0.15) = 3 * 0.85

= 2.55

I need to figure out what proportion I need to use to convert 3,600 feet into miles
katovenus [111]

There are 5280 feet in a mile:

5280ft/mi

When using proportions to solve for unknown quantities, you need to keep the same units on the same side. This means keep "ft" on the top side and "mi" on the bottom side.

I would go with the second choice.

sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

10.17 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

substitute y=0 into the equation

0=-16x²+153x+98

then use the quadratic formula

a = -16

b= 153

c = 98

Substituting values into the Quadratic equation, you get (Round the values to the nearest hundreth):

x₁= 10.17

x₂= -0.60

Suppose that 37% of college students own cats. If you were to ask random college students if they own a cat what would the proba
Likurg_2 [28]

Using the binomial distribution, the probabilities are given as follows:

a) 0.37 = 37%.

b) 0.5065 = 50.65%.

c) 0.3260 = 32.60%.

<h3>What is the binomial distribution formula?</h3>

The formula is:

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

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

The parameters are:

  • x is the number of successes.
  • n is the number of trials.
  • p is the probability of a success on a single trial.

For this problem, the fixed parameter is:

p = 0.37.

Item a:

The probability is P(X = 1) when n = 1, hence:

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

P(X = 1) = C_{1,1}.(0.37)^{1}.(0.63)^{0} = 0.37

Item b:

The probability is P(X = 3) when n = 3, hence:

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

P(X = 3) = C_{3,3}.(0.37)^{3}.(0.63)^{0} = 0.5065

Item c:

The probability is P(X = 2) when n = 4, hence:

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

P(X = 2) = C_{4,2}.(0.37)^{2}.(0.63)^{2} = 0.3260
