Certain insecticide kills 60% of all insects in laboratory experiments. A sample of 13 insects is exposed to the insecticide in a particular experiment. What is the probability that exactly 4 insects will survive? Round your answer to four decimal places.

0.0243

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are asked to calculate the probability that if a certain insecticide having a particular potency rate is applied to a sample number of insects, exactly 4 will die.

Let’s proceed.

The best Way around this is the use of Bernoulli trial.

Let the probability of death be p = 60/100 = 0.6

If the probability of living is q, its value would be 40/100 = 0.4

Now, let’s write the Bernoulli trial equation

Probability of exactly 4 deaths will be;

13C4 * p^4 * q^9

= 715 * 0.6^4 * 0.4^9

= 0.024291311616

Let’s say approximately 0.0243

"it's not the heat, it's the humidity".   that's a partly valid phrase you may have heard in the summer, but it's actually both.   the heat index, also known as the apparent temperature, is what the temperature feels like to the human body when relative humidity is combined with the air temperature.   this has important considerations for the human body's comfort.   when the body gets too hot, it begins to perspire or sweat to cool itself off.   if the perspiration is not able to evaporate, the body cannot regulate its temperature.   evaporation is a cooling process.   when perspiration is evaporated off the body, it effectively reduces the body's temperature.   when the atmospheric moisture content (i.e. relative humidity) is high, the rate of perspiration from the body decreases.   in other words, the human body feels warmer in humid conditions.   the opposite is true when the relative humidity decreases because the rate of perspiration increases.   the body actually feels cooler in arid conditions.   there is direct relationship between the air temperature and relative humidity and the heat index, meaning as the air temperature and relative humidity increase (decrease), the heat index increases (decreases).

step-by-step explanation:

proofs involving isosceles triangles often require special consideration because an isosceles triangle has several distinct properties that do not apply to normal triangles.(more about triangle types) therefore, when you are trying to prove that two triangles are congruent, and one or both triangles, are isosceles you have a few theorems that you can use to make your life easier.

step-by-step explanation:

an isosceles triangle has two congruent sides and two congruent angles. the congruent angles are called the base angles and the other angle is known as the vertex angle. ∠bac and ∠bca are the base angles of the triangle picture on the left. the vertex angle is ∠abc
