0.9990 = 99.90% probability that at least one of them will require repairs in the first seven months.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each car, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they will require repair in the first seven months, or they will not. The probability of a car requiring repair in the first seven months is independent of other cars. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

The probability that a certain make of car will need repairs in the first seven months is 0.9.

This means that p = 0.9 A dealer sells three such cars.

A dealer sells three such cars.

This means that n = 3

What is the probability that at least one of them will require repairs in the first seven months?

Either none will require repairs, or at least one will. The sum of the probabilities of these events is decimal 1. So

P(X = 0) + P(X 0) = 1

We want P(X > 0). So

P(X 0) = 1 - P(X = 0)

In which

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{3,0}.(0.9)^{0}.(0.1)^{3} = 0.001$

Then

P(X 0) = 1 - P(X = 0) = 1 - 0.001 = 0.9990

0.9990 = 99.90% probability that at least one of them will require repairs in the first seven months.

Where the white dots are is where your points should be plotted.a translation is simply just moving something from one place to another. in this case, you would move each plot point of the original shape 2 units up, and 5 units to the left.

Answer from: Quest

$w\geq 14$

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

$2l+2w\geq 40$

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

$2\times 6+2w\geq 40$

now, we can solve for w

$12+2w\geq 40$

subtract both sides by 12

$12+2w-12\geq 40-12$

$2w\geq 28$

divide both sides by 2

and we get

$w\geq 14$

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet
