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.

What is 1.498 divived by 30. plz show your work.
Irina18 [472]

Answer:

0.0749

Step-by-step explanation:

1.498/30

To divide the form directly in fraction divide the numerator and denominator by a common number to simplify the values.

Simplifying the value  

    Removing the decimal in the numerator makes 1000 in denominator

                                               \frac{1498}{30}*\frac{1}{1000}

dividing by a common value i.e 2                            

                                         \frac{749}{10}*\frac{1}{1000}

Now, removing the decimals from denominator puts the decimal in the numerator gives   0.0749

Marta_Voda [28]
Factor the equation:
(x-6)(x+1)

Check:
-6+1=-5
-6*1=-6

Use the zero product property
x-6=0
x=6

x+1=0
x=-1

Final answer: x=-1, x=6

Which are the correct measures for
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

option c is the correct answer

Step-by-step explanation:

∠YXZ+117°=180°

∠YXZ=180°-117°

∠YXZ=63°

63°+36°+∠YZX=180°(sum of angles is 180)

99°+∠YZX=180

∠YZX=180-99

∠YZX=81
