a manufacturer has the following quality control check at the end of a production line. if at least 8 of 10 randomly picked arti

cles meet all specifications, the whole shipment is approved. if in reality, 85% of a particular shipment meets all specifications, what is the probability that the shipment will make it through the control check?​

Using the binomial distribution, it is found that there is a 0.8202 = 82.02% probability that the shipment will make it through the control check.

For each article, there are only two possible outcomes, either it meets the specifications, or it does not. The probability of an article meeting the specifications is independent of any other article, hence, the <em>binomial distribution</em> is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

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.

In this problem:

  • 10 articles are picked, hence n = 10.
  • 85% of the articles meets all specifications, hence p = 0.85

The probability is:

P(X \geq 8) = P(X = 8) + P(X = 9) + P(X = 10)

Then:

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

P(X = 8) = C_{10,8}.(0.85)^{8}.(0.15)^{2} = 0.2759

P(X = 9) = C_{10,9}.(0.85)^{9}.(0.15)^{1} = 0.3474

P(X = 10) = C_{10,10}.(0.85)^{10}.(0.15)^{0} = 0.1969

P(X \geq 8) = P(X = 8) + P(X = 9) + P(X = 10) = 0.2759 + 0.3474 + 0.1969 =  0.8202

0.8202 = 82.02% probability that the shipment will make it through the control check.

Can someone help me on this ? its Algebra 1 on exponents
Svetradugi [14.3K]
The volume of a rectangular prism is its length times width times height, or algebraically, V=lwh. You may be used to computing volume with numbers, but remember, a variable is a stand-in for a number. So you can solve this in the same way. Substitute l=x, w= \frac{x}{2},h= \frac{x}{3} into the formula for volume. You get (x)( \frac{x}{2})( \frac{x}{3} ), and you multiply these factors together. As you would with ordinary fractions, multiply the numerators and denominators across. You get \frac{(x)(x)(x)}{(1)(2)(3)} =  \frac{x^3}{6}. It seems that the book wants you to simplify by bringing the 6 up to the denominator. Recall the rule x^{-n}= \frac{1}{x^n}, if n is non-negative. The opposite applies so that \frac{1}{6} = 6^{-1}. For your final answer, you write 6^{-1}x^3. This corresponds to answer choice B.

Does anyone know how to find the area of the shaded region?
Rzqust [24]
Find the area of the rectangle with the circles. Then find the area of each of the circles and add them together and minus that from the rectangle’s area.

A of rectangle = 30x10 = 300
A of circle = pi x r squared = pi x 25
A of shaded region = 300 - 75 pi = 68.3805cm square

John is making 4 cylindrical wax candles. If he plans to make candles with a diameter of 7 cm and a height of 12 cm, approximate
Stells [14]
He will need 527.52 cubic centimeters of wax. You divide the diameter by 2 ten multiply that number by itself to get the circumference. From there you multiply it by 12 then by 4 and there's your answer
