(14.14) larry reads that 1 out of 6 eggs contains salmonella bacteria. so he never uses more than 5 eggs in cooking. if eggs do

or don't contain salmonella independent of each other, find the probability (±±0.01) that at least 1 of larry's 5 eggs contains salmonella. rn note: please be sure you read the question as 'at least 1' and not instead just find the prob of exactly one. probability is about

we know that

The probability that "at least one" is the probability of exactly one, exactly 2, exactly 3, 4 and 5 contain salmonella.

The easiest way to solve this is to recognise that "at least one" is ALL 100% of the possibilities EXCEPT that none have salmonella.

If the probability that any one egg has 1/6 chance of salmonella

then

the probability that any one egg will not have salmonella = 5/6.

Therefore

for all 5 to not have salmonella


= (5/6)^5 = 3125 / 7776

= 0.401877 = 0.40 to 2 decimal places


REMEMBER this is the probability that NONE have salmonella


Therefore

the probability that at least one does = 1 - 0.40

= 0.60


the answer is

0.60 or 60%

A referendum failed by a vote of 36 No's and 24 Yes's. To make a pie chart of this result, what is the lesser measure in degrees
Daniel [21]
From the given number of people who voted Yes and No to the referendum, there are 60 people all in all. The fewer of which is 24 which voted as Yes. If we are to construct a pie chart and calculate the measure of the smaller angle, we take the ratio of 24 and 60 and multiply it to 360. 
      
                       measure of angle ACB = (24/60)(360)
                         measure of angle ACB = 144°

Thus, the angle measure 144°.

baker has 5\dfrac145 4 1 ​ 5, start fraction, 1, divided by, 4, end fraction pies in her shop. She cut the pies in pieces that a
kupik [55]

Answer:

The answer is "She cut a total of 42 pieces of pie".

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Total pie=  5 \frac{1}{4}

cut pie = \frac{1}{8}

The number of pieces of the pie she has=?

Solve the mixed fraction value:

\to 5 \frac{1}{4}= \frac{21}{4}

If she cuts the pieces into the entire pie, that is  = \frac{1}{8}  

So, the equation is:

\to \frac{21}{4} = \frac{1}{8} \times x

\to x= \frac{21 \times 8}{4}\\\\ \to x= 21 \times 2\\\\ \to  x=42

A middle school chess club has 5 members: Adam, Bradley, Carol, Dave, and Ella. Two students from the club will be selected at r

Answer:

Probability that Adam and Ella will be selected:

\displaystyle \frac{1}{10}=0.1

Step-by-step explanation:

Probabilities

The probability of a random event E to occur is a real number between 0 and 1, both inclusive, where 0 indicates an impossible event and 1 a sure event. There are many techniques to compute probabilities depending on the particular situation and distribution.

This question will be solved by simple calculations and logic, given its simplicity. We know the middle school chess club has 5 members: Adam, Bradley, Carol, Dave, and Ella. Two of them are going to be selected at random to participate in the county chess tournament. We can calculate the number of different ways it can be done without any restriction. It's called the sample space.

The sample space of this event is the combination of 5 members regardless of their position. If {a,b,c,d,e} are the five members, then the possible combinations are {ab,ac,ad,ae,bc,bd,be,cd,ce,de}. Notice that there are only 10 possibilities because the combination ab is the same as ba since it's the same team for the tournament.

We can see there is only one combination of two specific letters out of 10. If a=Adam and e=Ella, only one combination is ae, the other 9 don't include both members, so the probability is

\displaystyle P(ae)=\frac{1}{10}=0.1
