Using the binomial distribution, it is found that they would expect to find 240 dead batteries among the entire 12,000.

For each battery, there are only two possible outcomes, either it was dead or it was not. The probability of a battery being dead is independent of any other battery, hence the binomial distribution is used to solve this question.

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

It is the <u>probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, with p probability</u> of a success on each trial.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

E(X) = np

In this problem, we have that:

  • One in 50 batteries are dead, hence p = 1/50 = 0.02.
  • There is a total of 12,000 batteries, hence n = 12000.

Then:

E(X) = np = 12000(0.2) = 240

They would expect to find 240 dead batteries among the entire 12,000.

Answer:

m<N, m<L, m<M

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle that sees the longest side length has the bigger angle measurement

so the angles would be listed as following :

from smallest to largest :

m<N, m<L, m<M

The total weight of 30 bags of flour and 4 bags of sugar is 42.6 kg. If each bag of sugar weighs 0.75 kg, what is the weight of
alina1380 [7]
The answer is: Each bag of flour weighs 1,32 kg. 

If we the total weight of the bags is given, and we know both the number of bags of flour and sugar, and we also know the weight of each bag of sugar, then we have to find the unknown, which is X. 30 times X plus 4 times the weight of a bag of sugar would equal 42.6kg. Next step is to put the unknown on one side and the known values on the other side. We have 30 times X equals 42.6 minus 4 times 0.75. 
To find X we need to divide the value with 30, or to sum up 

30X + 4*0.75 = 42.6
30X + 3 = 42.6
X = (42.6 - 3) / 30
X = 1.32 kg

Use the Pythagorean theorem to find the unknown side of the right<br>triangle​
kramer

Answer:

26

Step-by-step explanation:

→ Utilise Pythagoras theorem

a² + b² = c²

→ Substitute in the values

10² + 24² = c²

→ Simplify

100 + 576 = c²

→ Simplify further

676 = c²

→ Square root both sides to isolate c

26 = c

Can you help me answer this
Ipatiy [6.2K]
2149 seats.  Since 2149 rounds down to 2100 at the nearest hundred, this is the greatest amount of seats possible in the stadium.  If there were 2150 seats, it would round to 2200 seats, so 2149 seats is the correct answer.

Hope this helps!
