(a) 0.8836

(b) 0.6096

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a computer can be classified as either cutting dash edge or ancient. Suppose that 94% of computers are classified as ancient.

(a) Two computers are chosen at random.

The above situation can be represented through Binomial distribution;

$P(X=r) = \binom{n}{r}p^{r} (1-p)^{n-r} ; x = 0,1,2,3,.....$

where, n = number of trials (samples) taken = 2 computers

r = number of success = both 2

p = probability of success which in our question is % of computers

that are classified as ancient, i.e; 0.94

LET X = Number of computers that are classified as ancient

So, it means X ~ Binom(n=2, p=0.94)

Now, Probability that both computers are ancient is given by = P(X = 2)

P(X = 2) = $\binom{2}{2}\times 0.94^{2} \times (1-0.94)^{2-2}$

= $1 \times 0.94^{2} \times 1$

= 0.8836

(b) Eight computers are chosen at random.

The above situation can be represented through Binomial distribution;

$P(X=r) = \binom{n}{r}p^{r} (1-p)^{n-r} ; x = 0,1,2,3,.....$

where, n = number of trials (samples) taken = 8 computers

r = number of success = all 8

p = probability of success which in our question is % of computers

that are classified as ancient, i.e; 0.94

LET X = Number of computers that are classified as ancient

So, it means X ~ Binom(n=8, p=0.94)

Now, Probability that all eight computers are ancient is given by = P(X = 8)

P(X = 8) = $\binom{8}{8}\times 0.94^{8} \times (1-0.94)^{8-8}$

= $1 \times 0.94^{8} \times 1$

= 0.6096

The above situation can be represented through Binomial distribution;

$P(X=r) = \binom{n}{r}p^{r} (1-p)^{n-r} ; x = 0,1,2,3,.....$

where, n = number of trials (samples) taken = 8 computers

r = number of success = at least one

p = probability of success which is now the % of computers

that are classified as cutting dash edge, i.e; p = (1 - 0.94) = 0.06

LET X = Number of computers classified as cutting dash edge

So, it means X ~ Binom(n=8, p=0.06)

Now, Probability that at least one of eight randomly selected computers is cutting dash edge is given by = P(X $\geq$ 1)

P(X $\geq$ 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)

= $1 - \binom{8}{0}\times 0.06^{0} \times (1-0.06)^{8-0}$

= $1 - [1 \times 1 \times 0.94^{8}]$

= 1 - $0.94^{8}$ = 0.3904

Here, the probability that at least one of eight randomly selected computers is cutting dash edge is 0.3904 or 39.04%.

For any event to be unusual it's probability is very less such that of less than 5%. Since here the probability is 39.04% which is way higher than 5%.

So, it is not unusual that at least one of eight randomly selected computers is cutting dash edge.

Answer from: Quest

first option

a function is a relation in which an input is paired with exactly one output.

so, let's find the right answer.

in our first option, our inputs are january, february, and march. the outputs are 30, 28, and 25. each input has it's own output. this is correct!

our second option we know is incorrect, because ms. valverade has two outputs, dogs and cats. this is not a function.

our third option is incorrect as well. the yellow square has two ouputs, the square and the triangle.

lastly, in our fourth option, we see the number 7 two times with a different output. therefore, this is not a function.

remember: each input must be paired with only one output!

Me? ! with this question which relationship is a function?

Someone answer this asap rn for ! a discount store’s prices are 25% lower than department store prices. the function c(x) = 0.75x can be used to determine the cost c, in dollars, of an item, where x is the department store price, in dollars. if the item has not sold in one month, the discount store takes an additional 20% off the discounted price and an additional $5 off the total purchase. the function d(y) = 0.80y - 5 can be used to find d, the cost, in dollars, of an item that has not been sold for a month, where y is the discount store price, in dollars. create a function d(c(x)) that represents the final price of an item when a costumer buys an item that has been in the discount store for a month. d(c(x)) =
