This problem is a combination of the Poisson distribution and binomial distribution.

First, we need to find the probability of a single student sending less than 6 messages in a day, i.e.
P(X<6)=P(X=0)+P(X=1)+P(X=2)+P(X=3)+P(X=4)+P(X=5)
=0.006738+0.033690+0.084224+0.140374+0.175467+0.175467
= 0.615961

For ALL 20 students to send less than 6 messages, the probability is
P=C(20,20)*0.615961^20*(1-0.615961)^0
=6.18101*10^(-5)   or approximately
=0.00006181

Helen [10]

Answer:

8x + 11= 315

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = the number of students in a bus

There are 8 buses

8x is the number of students in buses

There are 11 students in cars

Add this together to get all the students, which is 315

8x + 11= 315

We know that the true value for pi is given as 3.14156.

Now, we have been given that the approximate value for pi is 3.141

We know the formula

Absolute error,  \Delta x = | \text{True value } - \text{ Approximate value} | \\&#10;\\&#10;\Delta x =|3.14156-3.141|\\&#10;\\&#10;\Delta x =0.00056

Relative error is given by

\text{Relative error }= \frac{\Delta x}{\text{true value} }\\&#10;\\&#10;\text{Relative error }=\frac{0.00056}{3.14156} \\&#10;\\&#10;[tex]\text{Relative error }=0.000178

The percentage error is given by

\text{Relative error } \times 100\\  &#10;\\  &#10;0.000178\times 100  &#10;\\  &#10;=0.0178 \%

Tina has two bags of counters. Bag A has 5 red and 3 blue. Bag B has 4 red and 5 blue. Work out the probability that tina takes
nikklg [1K]

Tina has two bags of counters. Bag A has 5 red and 3 blue. Bag B has 4 red and 5 blue. The probability that tina takes two blue counters in fraction is 15/72

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

Given parameters:

Bag A= 5 red + 3 blue

Bag B = 4 red + 5 blue

Hence,

Total counters in bag A = 5 +3 = 8

Total counters in bag B = 4 + 5 = 9

Now let determine the probability that she takes two blue counters

Probability =  3 /8 × 5 /9

Probability = 15 / 72

Therefore 15 / 72 is the probability that two blue was taken.
