Answer 2

The probability that exactly 5 are sedimentary is from a shipment which contains 9 igneous, 7 sedimentary, and 7 metamorphic rocks is 21/33649.

What is combination?

Combination is the way of arrangement or the collection of items in the particular order. The order of this group of items does not matter in the combination type of arrangement.

A shipment contains 9 igneous, 7 sedimentary, and 7 metamorphic rocks. If 7 rocks are selected at random, find the probability that exactly 5 are sedimentary.

Number of ways to choose 5 sedimentary from 7  sedimentary is,

[tex]^7C_5=\dfrac{7!}{(7-5)!5!}\\^7C_5=\dfrac{7\times6\times5!}{2!5!}\\^7C_5=\dfrac{7\times6}{2\times1}\\^7C_5=21[/tex]

There are total 23 rocks (9+7+7). Number of ways to choose 7 rocks from 23 rocks is,

[tex]^{23}C_5=\dfrac{23!}{(23-5)!5!}\\^{23}C_5=\dfrac{23!}{18!5!}\\^{23}C_5=33649[/tex]


Thus, the probability that exactly 5 are sedimentary is,

[tex]P=\dfrac{21}{33649}[/tex]

Hence, the probability that exactly 5 are sedimentary is from a shipment which contains 9 igneous, 7 sedimentary, and 7 metamorphic rocks is 21/33649.

How many palindromes between 1000 and 9999 inclusive are divisible by 9?

Answers

Palindromes are numbers that remain the same, when reversed.

There are 10 palindromes divisible by 9 between 1000 and 9999

To do this, we list the numbers divisible by 9 between 10 and 99.

The numbers are:

[tex]\mathbf{A = 09,\ 18,\ 27,\ 36,\ 45.\ 54,\ 63,\ 72,\ 81,\ 90,\ 99}[/tex]

Flip these numbers

[tex]\mathbf{B =90,\ 81,\ 72,\ 63,\ 54.\ 45,\ 36,\ 27,\ 18,\ 09,\ 99}[/tex]

Combine corresponding numbers

[tex]\mathbf{AB =0990,\ 1881,\ 2772,\ 3663,\ 4554,\5445,\ 6336,\ 7227,\ 8118,\ 9009,\ 9999}[/tex]

Rewrite as:

[tex]\mathbf{AB =990,\ 1881,\ 2772,\ 3663,\ 4554,\5445,\ 6336,\ 7227,\ 8118,\ 9009,\ 9999}[/tex]

990 is less than 1000.

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{AB =1881,\ 2772,\ 3663,\ 4554,\5445,\ 6336,\ 7227,\ 8118,\ 9009,\ 9999}[/tex]

Count the numbers

[tex]\mathbf{n(AB) =10}[/tex]

Hence, there are 10 palindromes divisible by 9 between 1000 and 9999

Answer:

1/98

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Translate statement into equation.

[tex]\frac{1}{7}/x = 14[/tex] [tex]\frac{1}{7x}=14[/tex]

Step 2: Multiply both sides by 7x.

[tex]\frac{1}{7x} * 7x = 14 * 7x[/tex] [tex]1 = 98x[/tex]

Step 3: Divide both sides by 98.

[tex]\frac{1}{98} =\frac{98x}{98}[/tex] [tex]x = \frac{1}{98}[/tex]

Step 4: Check if solution is correct.

[tex]\frac{1}{7}/\frac{1}{98}[/tex] [tex]\frac{1}{7}*98[/tex] [tex]14[/tex]

Therefore, the answer is 1/98.

Find the probability if three dice are rolled. (Enter the value of probability in decimals. Round the answer to three decimal places.) (You must provide an answer before moving to the next part.)

Answers

Using the binomial distribution, it is found that there is a 0.3472 = 34.72% probability that it comes up five exactly once.

For each dice that is rolled, there are only two possible outcomes, either it comes up 5, or it does not. The probability of a dice coming up 5 is independent of any other dice, which means that the binomial distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

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.

In this problem:

There are three throws, hence [tex]n = 3[/tex].A five is one of the six sides, hence [tex]p = \frac{1}{6} = 0.1667[/tex]

The probability that it comes up five exactly once is P(X = 1), hence:

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 1) = C_{3,1}.(0.1667)^{1}.(0.8333)^{2} = 0.3472[/tex]

0.3472 = 34.72% probability that it comes up five exactly once.

Patients in the treatment group ate an average of 52.1 grams of biscuits, with a standard deviation of 45.1 grams, and patients in the control group ate an average of 27.1 grams of biscuits, with a standard deviation of 26.4 grams.
