The probability that a lab specimen contains high levels of contamination is 0.10. five samples are checked, and the samples are independent. (a) what is the probability that none contain high levels of contamination? (b) what is the probability that exactly one contains high levels of contamination? (c) what is the probability that at least one contains high levels of contamination?

(a) 0.59049 (b) 0.32805 (c) 0.40951

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's define

: the lab specimen number i contains high levels of contamination for i = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, so,

for i = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

The complement for is given by

: the lab specimen number i does not contains high levels of contamination for i = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, so

P()=0.9 for i = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

(a) The probability that none contain high levels of contamination is given by

P(∩∩∩∩)==0.59049 because we have independent events.

(b) The probability that exactly one contains high levels of contamination is given by

P(∩∩∩∩)+P(∩∩∩∩)+P(∩∩∩∩)+P(∩∩∩∩)+P(∩∩∩∩)=5×(0.1)×=0.32805

because we have independent events.

(c) The probability that at least one contains high levels of contamination is

P(∪∪∪∪)=1-P(∩∩∩∩)=1-0.59049=0.40951

i can you with this question sweetie!

step-by-step explanation:

c: y > - 1/6x + 1

step-by-step explanation:

dashed line - meaning this < or > also not equal

solid line - meaning this < or > also equal

your answer is c because y > means up & it's shaded up, but y < means down

hope this ! : )
