A geologist has collected 5 specimens of basaltic rock and 7 specimens of granite. The geologist instructs a laboratory assistant to randomly select 9 of the specimens for analysis.
Let X= the number of granite specimens selected for analysis.
Note: Take 10 decimal places after the ".", if the answer is a fraction, enter the fraction (a/b). Use a period (.) not a comma (,) for decimals.
a) Compute EX = ?; Var(X) = ?
b) Compute P(X<6) = ?
c) What is the probability that all specimens of one of the two types of rock are selected for analysis?
P(all specimens of one of the two types of rock are selected for analysis) = ?

Answers

Answer 1

The rocks are chosen without replacement, which means that the hypergeometric distribution is used to solve this question. First we get the parameters, and then we answer the questions. From this, we get that:

[tex]E(X) = 5.25, Var(X) = 0.5966[/tex]P(X < 6) = 0.9545P(all specimens of one of the two types of rock are selected for analysis) = 0.2046.

Hypergeometric distribution:

The probability of x successes is given by the following formula:

[tex]P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}[/tex]

In which:

x is the number of successes.

N is the size of the population.

n is the size of the sample.

k is the total number of desired outcomes.

Combinations formula:

[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]

The mean and the variance are:

[tex]\mu = \frac{nk}{N}[/tex]

[tex]\sigma^2 = \frac{nk(N-k)(N-n)}{N^2(N-1)}[/tex]

We have that:

5 + 7 = 12 rocks, which means that [tex]N = 12[/tex]

9 are chosen, which means that [tex]n = 9[/tex]

7 are granite, which means that [tex]k = 7[/tex]

Question a:

[tex]E(X) = \mu = \frac{9\times7}{12} = 5.25[/tex]

[tex]Var(X) = \sigma^2 = \frac{9\times7(12-7)(12-9)}{12^2(12-1)} = 0.5966[/tex]

Thus:

[tex]E(X) = 5.25, Var(X) = 0.5966[/tex]

Question b:

Since there are only 5 specimens of basaltic rock, at least 9 - 5 = 4 specimens of granite are needed, which means that:

[tex]P(X < 6) = P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6)[/tex]

In which

[tex]P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 4) = h(4,12,9,7) = \frac{C_{7,4}*C_{5,5}}{C_{12,9}} = 0.1591[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 5) = h(5,12,9,7) = \frac{C_{7,5}*C_{5,4}}{C_{12,9}} = 0.4773[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 6) = h(6,12,9,7) = \frac{C_{7,6}*C_{5,3}}{C_{12,9}} = 0.3181[/tex]

Thus

[tex]P(X < 6) = P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) = 0.1591 + 0.4773 + 0.3181 = 0.9545[/tex]

So P(X < 6) = 0.9545.

Question c:

5 of basaltic and 4 of granite: 0.1591 probability.

7 of granite is P(X = 7), in which

[tex]P(X = 7) = h(7,12,9,7) = \frac{C_{7,7}*C_{5,2}}{C_{12,9}} = 0.0455[/tex]

0.1591 + 0.0455 = 0.2046, thus:

P(all specimens of one of the two types of rock are selected for analysis) = 0.2046.

c. (x = 16, y = -9, z = -1)
d. (x = 14, y = -7, z = 3)

Answers

Answer:

x = 14

y = -7

z = -3

but this is none of the provided answer options !

Step-by-step explanation:

it's really easy by principle. it's just some work to do.

we try to find equations to express one variable in terms of the others.

but one thing there is : your teacher made a mistake.

the right solution is x = 14, y = -7, z = -3

your teacher made a typo at d.

but the right answer should be d.

just to give you an idea how this can be done (and also to prove that there is a mistake by the teacher):

we can directly try to transform one expression into one that describes x by y and z.

and then another to describe e.g. z by y. and then solve the third one just for y. and then we get the other 2 by these other expressions.

or we can e.g. add or subtract one equation to/from another. this is one of these cases, because we can find really simple expressions that way :

we do

5x + 6y + 7z = 7

- (3x + 4y + 3z = 5)

- (2x + 2y + 3z = 5)

---------------------------

0x + 0y + z = -3

=> z = -3

3x + 4y - 3×3 = 5

3x = -4y + 14

x = (-4y + 14)/3

2×(-4y + 14)/3 + 2y - 9 = 5

(-8y + 28)/3 + 2y = 14

-8y + 28 + 6y = 42

-2y = 14

y = -7

x = (-4×-7 + 14)/3 = (28+14)/3 = 42/3 = 14

The cost of producing x units of a particular commodity is 2 C(x) = x' +6x +45 shillings, and the production level t hours into a particular production run is x(1)=0.312 +0.04 units. At what rate is cost changing with respect to time after 5 hours?​

Answers

Complete question is;

The cost of producing x units of a particular commodity is C(x) = ⅔x² + 6x + 45 shillings and the production level t hours into a particular production run is x(t) = 0.3t² + 0.04t. At what rate is cost changing with respect to time after 5 hours?

Answer:

dC/dt = 49.45

Step-by-step explanation:

Since C(x) = ⅔x² + 6x + 45

And x(t) = 0.3t² + 0.04t

This means that;

C(x) = C(x(t))

The rate at what cost is changing with respect to time is given as;

dC/dt

Thus, from chain rule;

dC/dt = (dC/dx) × (dx/dt)

dC/dx = (4/3)x + 6

dx/dt = 0.6t + 0.04

Now, when t = 5, then;

x(5) = 0.3(5)² + 0.04(5)

x = 7.7

Thus;

dC/dx = (4/3)x + 6 = (4/3)(7.7) + 6 = 16.267

At 5 hours,

dx/dt = 0.6(5) + 0.04 = 3.04

Thus;

dC/dt = 16.267 × 3.04

dC/dt = 49.45

This differential equation is separable:

(1 + y²) dx + (1 + x²) dy = 0

(1 + y²) dx = - (1 + x²) dy

dy/(1 + y²) = -dx/(1 + x²)

Integrating both sides gives

arctan(y) = -arctan(x) + C

and solving for y gives (over an appropriate domain)

y = tan(C - arctan(x))

(the domain being -1 ≤ y ≤ 1).

Answer: Hello the table related to your question is attached below

answer:

a) attached below

b) The process is out of control because two ( 2 ) values from the defect rate table are out of the control limits at 95% as seen in the p-chart in question ( A )

Step-by-step explanation:

a) p-chart for 95% confidence

std = 1.96

Total defects = ∑ number of defective items in the sample = 10

number of samples = 10

sample size ( n ) = 15

The P value for the process is calculated as :

Total defects / ( number of sample * sample size )

= 10 / ( 15 * 10 ) = 10 / 150 = 0.067

standard deviation ( σ ) = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n } } = \sqrt{\frac{0.067(1-0.067)}{15} }[/tex]  =  0.065

next we determine the limits ( i.e. upper and lower )

UCL = p + zSp = 0.067 + 1.96(0.065 ) = 0.194

LCL = p - zSp = 0.067 - 1.96(0.065) = -0.060 ≈ 0 ( because LCL ≠ negative)

attached below is the required p-chart
