Out of 10,000 doors painted, about how many doors would be expected to have no blemishes? 75. a. about 500 doors b. about 3,935 doors c. about 5,000 doors d. about 6,065 doors

Explanation / Answer

ANSWER:-

72.

Given p=0.05, n=10

so the probability is (1-0.05)^10= 0.5987369

Option C is correct

73.

Positively skewed distribution

Option a is correct

74.

Probability of none returned = (1-0.1)^5 = 0.9^5 = 0.590

Option C is correct
