d) The expected number of defective drives in the sample is 6.6
Step-by-step explanation:
For each DVD, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is defective, or it is not. The probability of a DVD being defective is independent of any other DVD, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used 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.
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.
[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]
And p is the probability of X happening.
A company that produces DVD drives has a 12% defective rate.
This means that [tex]p = 0.12[/tex]
Let X represent the number of defectives in a random sample of 55 of their drives.
This means that [tex]n = 55[/tex]
a. What is the probability the sample will contain exactly 8 defective drives?
This is [tex]P(X = 8)[/tex]. So
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 8) = C_{55,8}.(0.12)^{8}.(0.88)^{47} = 0.1287[/tex]
0.1287 = 12.87% probability the sample will contain exactly 8 defective drives.
b. What is the probability the sample will contain more than 8 defective drives?
This is:
[tex]P(X > 8) = 1 - P(X \leq 8)[/tex]
In which:
[tex]P(X \leq 8) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) + P(X = 7) + P(X = 8)[/tex]
Then
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{55,0}.(0.12)^{0}.(0.88)^{55} = 0.0009[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 1) = C_{55,1}.(0.12)^{1}.(0.88)^{54} = 0.0066[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 2) = C_{55,2}.(0.12)^{2}.(0.88)^{53} = 0.0244[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 3) = C_{55,3}.(0.12)^{3}.(0.88)^{52} = 0.0588[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 4) = C_{55,4}.(0.12)^{4}.(0.88)^{51} = 0.1043[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 5) = C_{55,5}.(0.12)^{5}.(0.88)^{50} = 0.1450[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 6) = C_{55,8}.(0.12)^{6}.(0.88)^{49} = 0.1648[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 7) = C_{55,7}.(0.12)^{7}.(0.88)^{48} = 0.1573[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 8) = C_{55,8}.(0.12)^{8}.(0.88)^{47} = 0.1287[/tex]
So
[tex]P(X \leq 8) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) + P(X = 7) + P(X = 8) = 0.0009 + 0.0066 + 0.0244 + 0.0588 + 0.1043 + 0.1450 + 0.1648 + 0.1573 + 0.1287 = 0.7908[/tex]
[tex]P(X > 8) = 1 - P(X \leq 8) = 1 - 0.7908 = 0.2092[/tex]
0.2092 = 20.92% probability the sample will contain more than 8 defective drives.
c. What is the probability the sample will contain less than 8 defective drives?
This is:
[tex]P(X < 8) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) + P(X = 7)[/tex]
With the values we found in b.
[tex]P(X < 8) = 0.0009 + 0.0066 + 0.0244 + 0.0588 + 0.1043 + 0.1450 + 0.1648 + 0.1573 = 0.6621[/tex]
0.6621 = 66.21% probability the sample will contain less than 8 defective drives.
d. What is the expected number of defective drives in the sample?
The expected value of the binomial distribution is:
[tex]E(X) = np[/tex]
In this question:
[tex]E(X) = 55(0.12) = 6.6[/tex]
The expected number of defective drives in the sample is 6.6

Answer:
f = 3 units
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratios of side lengths in this 30°-60°-90° triangle are ...
1 : √3 : 2
So, the ratio of interest is ...
1 : √3 = √3 : f
We can see that the numbers in the second ratio are √3 times the numbers in the first ratio, so
f = √3 × √3 = 3
f = 3 units

[tex]P(-1.72<Z<1.72)=0.9146[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that:
Population mean \mu=91
Sample Mean \=x =2.08
Standard Deviation \sigma=10
Sample size n=68
Generally the Probability that The sample mean would differ from the population mean
P(|\=x-\mu|<2.08)
From Table
[tex]P(|\=x-\mu|<2.08)=P(|z|<1.72)[/tex]
T Test
[tex]Z=\frac{\=x-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex]
[tex]Z=\frac{2.08}{\frac{10}{\sqrt{68} } }[/tex]
[tex]Z=1.72[/tex]
[tex]P(|\=x-\mu|<2.08)=P(|z|<1.72)[/tex]

The population of the world in 1987 was 5 billion and the annual growth rate was estimated at 2 percent per year. Assuming that the world population follows an exponential growth model, find the projected world population in 2015
Answer:
The projected world population in 2015 was 8,705,121,030 people.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the population of the world in 1987 was 5 billion and the annual growth rate was estimated at 2 percent per year, assuming that the world population follows an exponential growth model, to find the projected world population in 2015 the following calculation must be performed :
5,000,000,000 x 1.02 ^ (2015-1987) = X
5,000,000,000 x 1.02 ^ 28 = X
5,000,000,000 x 1.741024 = X
8,705,121,030 = X
Therefore, the projected world population in 2015 was 8,705,121,030 people.
A ball is thrown from an initial height of 7 feet with an initial upward velocity of 23 ft/s. The ball's height h (in feet) after 1 seconds is given by the following.
h = 7+23t-16t^2
Find all values of 1 for which the ball's height is 15 feet.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If we are looking for the time(s) that the ball is at a height of 15, we simply sub in a 15 for the height in the position equation and solve for t:
[tex]15=-16t^2+23t+7[/tex] and
[tex]0=-16t^2+23t-8[/tex]
Factor this however you factor a quadratic in class to get
t = .59 seconds and t = .85 seconds.
This means that .59 seconds after the ball was thrown into the air it was 15 feet off the ground. Then the ball reached its max height, gravity took over, and began pulling it back down to earth. The ball passes the height of 15 feet again on its way down after .85 seconds.

Answer:
The 1st,Thrid, Fifth Option
Step-by-step explanation:
The first option is true. We can move the orginal square root function to get g(x).
The second option is false. Function g(x) which equals
[tex] \sqrt{x - 3} - 1[/tex]
Domain is all real numbers greater than or equal to 3.
The third option is true. Since minimum point we can get is 0 in a square root function. We have a vertical shift so our new minimum point is
[tex]0 - 1 = - 1[/tex]
We can take the sqr root of 0 so
So all real numbers that are greater than or equal to -1 is true.
The fourth option is false, we need to add 3 instead of subtract 3.
The fifth option is true, we can do that to get back to our original function

Let f(x) = 5 + 12x − x^3. Find (a) the x- coordinate of all inflection points, (b)
the open intervals on which f is concave up, (c) the open intervals on which
f is concave down.
Answer:
A) x = 0.
B) f is concave up for (-∞, 0).
C) f is concave down for (0, ∞).
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the function:
[tex]f(x)=5+12x-x^3[/tex]
A)
We want to find the x-coordinates of all inflection points.
Recall that inflections points (may) occur when the second derivative equals zero. Hence, find the second derivative. The first derivative is given by:
[tex]f'(x) = 12-3x^2[/tex]
And the second:
[tex]f''(x) = -6x[/tex]
Set the second derivative equal to zero:
[tex]0=-6x[/tex]
And solve for x. Hence:
[tex]x=0[/tex]
We must test the solution. In order for it to be an inflection point, the second derivative must change signs before and after. Testing x = -1:
[tex]f''(-1) = 6>0[/tex]
And testing x = 1:
[tex]f''(1) = -6<0[/tex]
Since the signs change for x = 0, x = 0 is indeed an inflection point.
B)
Recall that f is concave up when f''(x) is positive, and f is concave down when f''(x) is negative.
From the testing in Part A, we know that f''(x) is positive for all values less than zero. Hence, f is concave up for all values less than zero. Our interval is:
[tex](-\infty, 0)[/tex]
C)
From Part A, we know that f''(x) is negative for all values greater than zero. So, f is concave down for that interval:
[tex](0, \infty)[/tex]
A soft drink manufacturer wishes to know how many soft drinks adults drink each week. They want to construct a 95% confidence interval with an error of no more than 0.08. A consultant has informed them that a previous study found the mean to be 3.1 soft drinks per week and found the variance to be 0.49. What is the minimum sample size required to create the specified confidence interval? Round your answer up to the next integer.
Answer:
The minimum sample size required to create the specified confidence interval is 295.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have that to find our [tex]\alpha[/tex] level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:
[tex]\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.025[/tex]
Now, we have to find z in the Z-table as such z has a p-value of [tex]1 - \alpha[/tex].
That is z with a pvalue of [tex]1 - 0.025 = 0.975[/tex], so Z = 1.96.
Now, find the margin of error M as such
[tex]M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]
In which [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.
Variance of 0.49:
This means that [tex]\sigma = \sqrt{0.49} = 0.7[/tex]
They want to construct a 95% confidence interval with an error of no more than 0.08. What is the minimum sample size required to create the specified confidence interval?
The minimum sample size is n for which M = 0.08. So
[tex]M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]
[tex]0.08 = 1.96\frac{0.7}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]
[tex]0.08\sqrt{n} = 1.96*0.7[/tex]
[tex]\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.96*0.7}{0.08}[/tex]
[tex](\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{1.96*0.7}{0.08})^2[/tex]
[tex]n = 294.1[/tex]
Rounding up:
The minimum sample size required to create the specified confidence interval is 295.

By using the Bayes' theorem, we get
⇒ [tex]P[(X<4)|(X \geq 2)] = \frac{P(2 \leq X < 4)}{P(X \geq 2)}[/tex]
By putting the values, we get
[tex]=\frac{[P(2)+P(3)]}{[1-P(0)-P(1)]}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{(0.20+0.15)}{1-0.20-0.30}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{0.35}{0.5}[/tex]
[tex]=0.70[/tex]
The concentration of carbon monoxide (CO) in a gas sample is measured by a spectrophotometer and found to be 85 ppm. Through long experience with this instrument, it is believed that its measurements are unbiased and normally distributed, with an uncertainty (standard deviation) of 9 ppm. Find a 95% confidence interval for the concentration of CO in this sample. Round the answers to two decimal places. The 95% confidence interval is
Answer:
The confidence interval is [tex](85 - \frac{14.81}{\sqrt{n}},85 + \frac{14.81}{\sqrt{n}})[/tex], in which n is the size of the sample.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have that to find our [tex]\alpha[/tex] level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:
[tex]\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.025[/tex]
Now, we have to find z in the Z-table as such z has a p-value of [tex]1 - \alpha[/tex].
That is z with a pvalue of [tex]1 - 0.025 = 0.975[/tex], so Z = 1.96.
Now, find the margin of error M as such
[tex]M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]
In which [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.
[tex]M = 1.645\frac{9}{\sqrt{n}} = \frac{14.81}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]
The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is [tex]85 - \frac{14.81}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]
The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is [tex]85 + \frac{14.81}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]
The confidence interval is [tex](85 - \frac{14.81}{\sqrt{n}},85 + \frac{14.81}{\sqrt{n}})[/tex], in which n is the size of the sample.
Suppose f(x)=x^2. What is the graph of g(x)=1/2f(x)?
9514 1404 393
Answer:
see attached
Step-by-step explanation:
The graph of g(x) is a vertically scaled version of the graph of f(x). The scale factor is 1/2, so vertical height at a given value of x is 1/2 what it is for f(x). This will make the graph appear shorter and fatter than for f(x).
The graph of g(x) is attached.
A business rents in-line skates and bicycles to tourists on vacation. A pair of skates rents for $5 per day. A bicycle rents for $20 per day.
On a certain day, the owner of the business has 25 rentals and takes in $425.
Write a system of equation to represent this situation, then solve to find the number of each item rented.
Show both the equations and the solution.
Answer:
5x+20y=425
Step-by-step explanation:
Its 5 bucks for x pairs of skates
Its 20 dollars for y bikes
x+y rentals have to equal 25
all of this is equal to 425. All that is left to do is test with number until the statement is true.
try :
5(5)+(20)(20)=425
x + y do equal 25, and the total is equal to 425.

The regression analysis can be summarized as follows: Multiple Choice No significant relationship exists between the variables. A significant negative relationship exists between the variables. For every unit increase in x, y decreases by 12.8094. A significant positive relationship exists between the variables
Answer:
A significant negative relationship exists between the variables
Step-by-step explanation:
Base on the information given in the question which goes thus : For every unit increase in x, y decreases by 12.8094. The value 12.8094 is the slope which is the rate of change in y variable per unit change in the independent variable. The sign or nature of the slope Coefficient gives an hint about the relationship between the x and y variables. The slope Coefficient in this case is negative and thus we'll have a negative relationship between the x and y variables (an increase in x leads to a corresponding decrease in y). This is a negative association.
