Flaws in a carpet tend to occur randomly and independently at a rate of one every 270 square feet. What is the probability that a carpet that is 8 feet by 14 feet contains no flaws

The probability that it contains no flaws=0.585

Step-by-step explanation:

Flaws in a carpet tend to occur randomly and independently at a rate of one every 270 square feet.

One = 270 ft²

8*14= 112 ft²

Probability of containing flaws

So if 270 ft² = 1

112 ft² = 112/270

112ft² = 0.415

The probability that it contains no flaws= 1- probability that it contains

The probability that it contains no flaws= 1-0.415

The probability that it contains no flaws=0.585

b. 6

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the table representing an exponential function.

we can see from the table that, as x is increasing, the value of y is increasing in the power of 6.

i.e. the following relation is obtained,

x = 1, y = 6

x = 2, y = 36 =

x = 3, y = 216 =

x = 4, y = 1296 =

x = 5, y = 7776 =

so, the geometric series obtained is .

thus, the common ratio is given by = = 6.

hence, the common ratio is 6.
