Answer:
Estimation is just giving a general answer to the situation and can be specified on specifics depending on the numbers used and whichever question it's asking. But also remember that whenever you estimate your answer will be an approximate answers, not an exact.
2*(5/44)
Dividing fractions means take the reciprocal of the second fraction then multiply
Find the reciprocal of 8 4/5
44/5 becomes 5/44
Then multiply by 2
The table you drew under the question is exactly the right way to start.
-- Make a second column, next to the 6 and 7. This column will be
the actual number of each thing.
-- You know that there are 42 marbles, so write '42' in the box
next to the 6, on the 'Marbles' line.
Now you need to figure out what to write in the 'Stones' line, next to the 7.
-- Look at the 'Marbles' line. There's a 6 and then a 42.
Ask yourself: " Self ! What does the 6 have to be multiplied with to get 42 ?"
-- Whatever the answer is, drop down to the 'Stones' line,
and multiply the 7 by the same number.
The product is the total number of stones, and it goes in the box.

(The mystery number is 7. There are 49 stones.)
Answer:
0.9999
Step-by-step explanation:
Let X be the random variable that measures the time that a switch will survive.
If X has an exponential distribution with an average life β=44, then the probability that a switch will survive less than n years is given by
So, the probability that a switch fails in the first year is
Now we have 100 of these switches installed in different systems, and let Y be the random variable that measures the the probability that exactly k switches will fail in the first year.
Y can be modeled with a binomial distribution where the probability of “success” (failure of a switch) equals 0.0225 and
where
equals combinations of 100 taken k at a time.
The probability that at most 15 fail during the first year is
