Using the binomial distribution, the probabilities are given as follows:
- 0.3675 = 36.75% probability that more than 4 weigh more than 20 pounds.
- 0.1673 = 16.73% probability that fewer than 3 weigh more than 20 pounds.
- Since P(X > 7) < 0.05, it would be unusual if more than 7 of them weigh more than 20 pounds.
<h3>What is the binomial distribution formula?</h3>
The formula is:
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.
The values of the parameters for this problem are:
n = 10, p = 0.4.
The probability that more than 4 weigh more than 20 pounds is:
In which:
Then:
Hence:
0.3675 = 36.75% probability that more than 4 weigh more than 20 pounds.
The probability that fewer than 3 weigh more than 20 pounds is:
P(X < 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) = 0.0061 + 0.0403 + 0.1209 = 0.1673
0.1673 = 16.73% probability that fewer than 3 weigh more than 20 pounds.
For more than 7, the probability is:
Since P(X > 7) < 0.05, it would be unusual if more than 7 of them weigh more than 20 pounds.

Answer:
The original length was 41 inches and the original width was 16 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x ----> the original length of the piece of metal
y ----> the original width of the piece of metal
we know that
When squares with sides 5 in long are cut from the four corners and the flaps are folded upward to form an open box
The dimensions of the box are
The volume of the box is equal to
so
simplify
-----> equation A
Remember that
The piece of metal is 25 in longer than it is wide
so
----> equation B
substitute equation B in equation A
solve for y
Solve the quadratic equation by graphing
using a graphing tool
The solution is y=16
see the attached figure
Find the value of x
therefore
The original length was 41 inches and the original width was 16 inches
Answer:
1.526
Step-by-step explanation:
12-2x-9x-2 = 4+8x-32
-11x+10 = 8x-28
-19x = -29
x = 1.526
The answer is (6,-4). By the way, this was very hard to read.
