A rainstorm in Portland, Oregon, has wiped out the electricity in about 7% of the households in the city. A management team in Portland has a big meeting tomorrow, and all 6 members of the team are hard at work in their separate households, preparing their presentations. What is the probability that none of them has lost electricity in his/her household

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

0.647 = 64.7% probability that none of them has lost electricity in his/her household

Step-by-step explanation:

For each household, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they lost electricity, or they did not. The probability of a household losing electricity is independent of any other household. This means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

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

In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

And p is the probability of X happening.

A rainstorm in Portland, Oregon, has wiped out the electricity in about 7% of the households in the city.

This means that [tex]p = 0.07[/tex]

6 members

This means that [tex]n = 6[/tex]

What is the probability that none of them has lost electricity in his/her household?

This is P(X = 0). So

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

[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{6,0}.(0.07)^{0}.(0.93)^{6} = 0.647[/tex]

0.647 = 64.7% probability that none of them has lost electricity in his/her household

Which equation could be solved using this application of the quadratic formula? x = (- 3 plus/minus sqrt(3 ^ 2 - 4(1) * (24)))/(2(1)) A. x ^ 2 + 6x + 24 = 3x B 3x ^ 2 + 3x + 24 = 3 C. x ^ 2 + 3x - 24 = 3 D x ^ 2 + 3x + 24 = 3

Answers

Answer:

[tex]x^2 + 3x + 24 = 0[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]x = \frac{-3\±\sqrt{3^2 - 4*1*24}}{2*1}[/tex]

Required

Select equation with the above solution

The solution is represented as:

[tex]x = \frac{-b\±\sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}[/tex]

By comparison:

[tex]b= 3[/tex]       [tex]a = 1[/tex]       [tex]c = 24[/tex]

So, the equation is:

[tex]ax^2 + bx + c = 0[/tex]

What is the volume, in cubic centimeters, of a cube with an edge length of 15
centimeters?

Answers

Answer:

3375

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for volume is

volume = length x height x width

or in simpler terms (only works for cubes i think)

v = a^3

so we know that the side is 15cm long, so we substitute that back into the equation, so,

3375 = 15 x 15 x 15

or

3375 = 15^3

Using L Hospital's rule, evaluate :
lim
x →0(x² – Sin²x)/x^2​

Answers

Answer:

0

Step-by-step explanation:

L Hospital's rule states that as long as u have the form

of infinity / infinity or 0/0 in general you can take its derivative to find the limit.

In this case as X tends to 0, the numerator tends to 0

Denominator will also tends to 0.

We have the 0 / 0 form, which means we can take the derivative for its numerator and denominator which gives

(2x - 2SinxCosx) / 2x | lim x -> 0

= (2x - Sin2x) / 2x | lim x -> 0

Based on this equation, as x tends to 0

both numerator and denominator tends to 0.

So we take its second derivative,

(2 - 2Cos2x) / 2

Now as x -> 0,

we will get (2 - 2)/2 = 0

HELP PLS

Answers

Answer:

In order to solve this problem, you have to find the lowest common denominator.  Take multiples of both 6 and 4 and see which is the lowest you have in common.

4: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20

6: 6, 12, 18, 24

So 12 is the lowest common multiple....

5/6 x ?/? = ?/12 (you have to multiply the numerator and the denominator by the same number)

3/4 x ?/? = ?/12 (you have to multiply the numerator and the denominator by the same number)

When the denominators are the same, you can subtract the numerators.  The denominator will stay 12!
