A manufacturer of matches randomly and independently puts 23 matches in each box of matches produced. The company knows that one-tenth of 8 percent of the matches are flawed. What is the probability that a matchbox will have one or fewer matches with a flaw?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

0.9855 or 98.55%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of each individual match being flawed is p = 0.008. The probability that a matchbox will have one or fewer matches with a flaw is the same as the probability of a matchbox having exactly one or exactly zero matches with a flaw:

P(X\leq 1)=P(X=0)+P(X=1)\nP(X\leq 1)=(1-p)^(23)+23*(1-p)^(23-1)*p\nP(X\leq 1)=(1-0.008)^(23)+23*(1-0.008)^(23-1)*0.008\nP(X\leq 1)=0.8313+0.1542\nP(X\leq 1)=0.9855

The probability  that a matchbox will have one or fewer matches with a flaw is 0.9855 or 98.55%.

The area of a right triangle is 270 m². The height of the right triangle is 15 m. What is the length of the hypotenuse of the right triangle?

Answers

The area of a triangle is calculated by the expression given as:

Area = bh/2

where b is the base and h is the height.

We calculate as follows:

270 = b (15) / 2
b = 36

hypotenuse = sqrt ( 15^2 + 36^2 ) = 39

Answer:

hypotenuse = 39m

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a triangle= 1/2 * base * height

where base = ?

        height = 15

Plugin values into the formula:

270 = 1/2 base (15)

base = 270 (2)

               15

base = 36

hypotenuse = √(base² + height²)

                    = √( 36² + 15² )

                    = 39

What is the y-intercept of the function f(x) = -2/9x + 1/3​

Answers

Answer:

y-intercept = 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = mx + c

f(x) =  -  (2)/(9) x +  (1)/(3)

c = y-intercept

y-intercept= 1/3

Hello! :)

To find the y-intercept, substitute 0 for x-intercept then you will get the y-intercept.

(0,1/3) y-intercept
