A manufacturer knows that on average 20% of the electric toasters produced require repairs within 1 year after they are sold. When 20 toasters are randomly selected, find appropriate numbers x and y such that (a) the probability that at least x of them will require repairs is less than 0.5; (b) the probability that at least y of them will not require repairs is greater than 0.8

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) The value of x is 5.

(b) The value of y is 15.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the random variable X represent the number of electric toasters produced that require repairs within 1 year.

And the let the random variable Y represent the number of electric toasters produced that does not require repairs within 1 year.

The probability of the random variables are:

P (X) = 0.20

P (Y) = 1 - P (X) = 1 - 0.20 = 0.80

The event that a randomly selected electric toaster requires repair is independent of the other electric toasters.

A random sample of n = 20 toasters are selected.

The random variable X and Y thus, follows binomial distribution.

The probability mass function of X and Y are:

[tex]P(X=x)={20\choose x}(0.20)^{x}(1-0.20)^{20-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(Y=y)={20\choose y}(0.20)^{20-y}(1-0.20)^{y}[/tex]

(a)

Compute the value of x such that P (X ≥ x) < 0.50:

[tex]P (X \geq x) < 0.50\\\\1-P(X\leq x-1)<0.50\\\\0.50<P(X\leq x-1)\\\\0.50<\sum\limits^{x-1}_{0}[{20\choose x}(0.20)^{x}(1-0.20)^{20-x}][/tex]

Use the Binomial table for n = 20 and p = 0.20.

[tex]0.411=\sum\limits^{3}_{x=0}[b(x,20,0.20)]<0.50<\sum\limits^{4}_{x=0}[b(x,20,0.20)]=0.630[/tex]

The least value of x that satisfies the inequality P (X ≥ x) < 0.50 is:

x - 1 = 4

x = 5

Thus, the value of x is 5.

(b)

Compute the value of y such that P (Y ≥ y) > 0.80:

[tex]P (Y \geq y) >0.80\\\\P(Y\leq 20-y)>0.80\\\\P(Y\leq 20-y)>0.80\\\\\sum\limits^{20-y}_{y=0}[{20\choose y}(0.20)^{20-y}(1-0.20)^{y}]>0.80[/tex]

Use the Binomial table for n = 20 and p = 0.20.

[tex]0.630=\sum\limits^{4}_{y=0}[b(y,20,0.20)]<0.50<\sum\limits^{5}_{y=0}[b(y,20,0.20)]=0.804[/tex]

The least value of y that satisfies the inequality P (Y ≥ y) > 0.80 is:

20 - y = 5

y = 15

Thus, the value of y is 15.

Answer:

  145.39

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of supply to demand will be 1 at the equilibrium price:

  S(p)/D(p) = 1 = 140e^(0.005p)/(448e^(-0.003p))

  448/140 = e^(0.005p -(-0.003p)) = e^(0.008p)

  ln(448/140) = 0.008p . . . . . . . . . taking the natural log

  p = ln(448/140)/0.008 ≈ 145.39

The equilibrium price is about $145.39.

A table of values of a linear function is shown below. Find the output when the input is N. Type your answer in the space provide

Answers

Answer:

[tex] -3n - 7 [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the linear function represented in the table above, to find what output an input "n" would give, we need to first find an equation that defines the linear function.

Using the slope-intercept formula, y = mx + b, let's find the equation.

Where,

m = the increase in output ÷ increase in input = [tex] \frac{-13 - (-10)}{2 - 1} [/tex]

[tex] m = \frac{-13 + 10}{1} [/tex]

[tex] m = \frac{-3}{1} [/tex]

[tex] m = -3 [/tex]

Using any if the given pairs, i.e., (1, -10), plug in the values as x and y in the equation formula to solve for b, which is the y-intercept

[tex] y = mx + b [/tex]

[tex] -10 = -3(1) + b [/tex]

[tex] -10 = -3 + b [/tex]

Add 3 to both sides:

[tex] -10 + 3 = -3 + b + 3 [/tex]

[tex] -7 = b [/tex]

[tex] b = -7 [/tex]

The equation of the given linear function can be written as:

[tex] y = -3x - 7 [/tex]

Or

[tex] f(x) = -3x - 7 [/tex]

Therefore, if the input is n, the output would be:

[tex] f(n) = -3n - 7 [/tex]

Answer:

p-value = 0.1213  (to 4-decimal places)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

N = 240

mean  = 7.5

s = 1.0

Solution

With N=240 and using the central limit theorem, distribution can be approximated as normal.

Let

Null hypothesis H0, mu = 7.6

Alternate hypothesis, mu not equal to 7.6  (two-tail test)

for

Alpha = 0.1 (two sided)

Z = sqrt(N)(mean – mu)/s = sqrt(240)(7.5-7.6)/1.0 = -1.54919

p-value  

= P(|Z|>1.54919)  

= 2P(Z>1.54919)

= 2(1-P(Z<1.54919)

=2(1-0.9393)     (using normal distribution table)

=0.12134

Since alpha = 0.1 < p-value (0.1213), H0 that mean = 7.6 is not rejected.

The winery sold 81 cases of wine this week. If twice
as many red cases were sold than white, how many
white cases were sold this week?


A. 32 cases
B. 61 cases
C. 27 cases
D. 54 cases​

Answers

Answer:

Option (C)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the red cases sold = r

and the number of white cases sold = w

Total number of cases sold by the winery = 81

r + w = 81 -------(1)

If number of red cases sold is twice of white cases sold,

r = 2w ------- (2)

By substituting the value of r from equation (2) to equation (1),

2w + w = 81

3w = 81

w = 27 cases

From equation (1),

r + 27 = 81

r = 54 cases

Therefore, number of white cases sold are 27 cases

In a certain lake, trout average 12 in. in length with standard deviation 2.75 in. and the bass average 4 lb. in weight with standard deviation 0.8 lb. If Deion caught an 18-in trout and Keri caught a 6-lb bass, which fish was the better catch?

Answers

Answer:

The bass fish was the better catch

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The  population mean for trout is  [tex]\mu_1 = 12 \ in[/tex]

     The  standard deviation is  [tex]\sigma_1 = 2.75 \ in[/tex]

      The  population mean for  base  is  [tex]\mu _2 = 4 \ lb[/tex]

      The standard deviation is  [tex]\sigma_2 = 0.8 \ lb[/tex]

      The number of  trout caught   [tex]x_1 = 18[/tex]

     The number of  bass caught  [tex]x_2 = 6[/tex]

Generally z-value(standardized value ) for the of number  trout caught  is mathematically represented as

        [tex]z_1 = \frac{x_1 - \mu_1}{\sigma_1 }[/tex]

substituting value

       [tex]z_1 = \frac{18 - 12}{2.75 }[/tex]

       [tex]z_1 = 2.18[/tex]

Generally z-value(standardized value ) for the of number  bass caught  is mathematically represented as

        [tex]z_2 = \frac{x_2 - \mu_2}{\sigma_2 }[/tex]

substituting value

       [tex]z_2 = \frac{6 - 4}{0.8 }[/tex]

       [tex]z_2 = 2.5[/tex]

From our calculation we see that  [tex]z_2 > z_1[/tex]

The  fish that was the better catch is the bass fish

Find the unknown side length, x. Write your answer in simplest radical form.
A. 3
B. 34
C. 6.
D. 41

Answers

Answer:

√41

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the sides with lengths 48 and 52 units, we would use Pythagoras theorem to find the third side. Let that side be t

52² = 48² + t²

t² = 52² - 48²

= 2704 - 2304

= 400

t = √400

= 20

Considering the next triangle with sides t (20 units) and 12 units, again using the theorem

20² = 12² + y²

where y is the third side

400 = 144 + y²

y² = 400 - 144

= 256

y = √256

= 16 units

Considering the triangle with two sides given as 5 and 13 units, the third side (which is part of the 16 units calculated earlier)

13² = 5² + u²

where u is the 3rd side

169 = 25 + u²

u² = 169 - 25

u² = 144

u = √144

u = 12

The other part of the side of that triangle

= 16 - 12

= 4

Considering the smallest triangle whose sides are x, 5 and 4,

x² = 5² + 4²

= 25 + 16

= 41

x = √41

Intelligence quotients​ (IQs) measured on the Stanford Revision of the Binet Simon Intelligence Scale are normally distributed with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 16. Determine the percentage of people who have an IQ between 115 and 140.

Answers

Answer:

the percentage of people who have an IQ between 115 and 140 is 16.79%

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given:

We are to  determine the percentage of people who have an IQ between 115 and 140.

i.e

P(115 < X < 140) = P( X  ≤ 140) - P( X  ≤ 115)

[tex]P(115 < X < 140) = P( \dfrac{X-100}{\sigma}\leq \dfrac{140-100}{16})-P( \dfrac{X-100}{\sigma}\leq \dfrac{115-100}{16})[/tex]

[tex]P(115 < X < 140) = P( Z\leq \dfrac{140-100}{16})-P( Z\leq \dfrac{115-100}{16})[/tex]

[tex]P(115 < X < 140) = P( Z\leq \dfrac{40}{16})-P( Z\leq \dfrac{15}{16})[/tex]

[tex]P(115 < X < 140) = P( Z\leq 2.5)-P( Z\leq 0.9375)[/tex]

[tex]P(115 < X < 140) = P( Z\leq 2.5)-P( Z\leq 0.938)[/tex]

From Z tables :

[tex]P(115 < X < 140) = 0.9938-0.8259[/tex]

[tex]P(115 < X < 140) = 0.1679[/tex]

Thus; we can conclude that the percentage of people who have an IQ between 115 and 140 is 16.79%

Using the normal distribution, it is found that 82.02% of people who have an IQ between 115 and 140.

Normal Probability Distribution

In a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

It measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score, which is the percentile of X.

In this problem:

The mean is of [tex]\mu = 100[/tex].The standard deviation is of [tex]\sigma = 15[/tex].

The proportion of people who have an IQ between 115 and 140 is the p-value of Z when X = 140 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 115, hence:

X = 140:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{140 - 100}{16}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 2.5[/tex]

[tex]Z = 2.5[/tex] has a p-value of 0.9938.

X = 115:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{115 - 100}{16}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -0.94[/tex]

[tex]Z = -0.94[/tex] has a p-value of 0.1736.

0.9938 - 0.1736 = 0.8202.

0.8202 = 82.02% of people who have an IQ between 115 and 140.

The graph represents function 1 and the equation represents function 2:

Function 2 y = 4x + 1

How much more is the rate of change of function 2 than the rate of change of function 1?

Answers

Greetings from Brasil...

In a linear function, the rate of change is given by M (see below).

F(X) = Mx + N

M = rate of change

N = linear coefficient

The Function 2 has M = 4, cause

F(X) = 4X + 1

(M = 4 and N = 1)

For Function 1 we have a rate of change equal to zero, becaus it is a constant function... let's see:

M = ΔY/ΔX

M = (3 - 3)/(4 - 0)

M = 0/4 = 0

So, the Function 2 has 4 times more rate of change than the first

Ava wants to figure out the average speed she is driving. She starts checking her car’s clock at mile marker 0. It takes her 4 minutes to reach mile marker 3. When she reaches mile marker 6, she notes that 8 minutes total have passed since mile marker 0. What is the average speed of the car in miles per minute? What is an equation of the line that represents n, the number of mile marker passed, as a function of t, time in minutes? PLEASE HELP

Answers

Answer:

Below

Step-by-step explanation:

The average speed is given by the following formula:

● V = d/t

● d is the distance covered

● t is the time spent to cover the distance d

■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

Ava takes 8 minutes to go from mile marker 0 to mile marker6.

● the distance Ava traveled is 6 miles

● the time Ava spent to reach mile marker 6 is 8 minutes

So the average speed of Ava is:

● V = 6/ 8 = 3/4 = 0.75 mile per min

●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●

Let's The equation of the line that links the number of milemarkers (n) and the time (t).

Ava went from mile marker 0 to mile marker 6.

At t=0 Ava just started travelling from mile marker 0 to 1.

Afrer 8 minutes,she was at mile marker 6.

So 8 min => 6 mile markers (igonring mile marker 0 since the distance there was 0 mile)

6/8= 0.75

Then n/t = 0.75

● n = 0.75 * t

Let's check

● n= 0.75*4 = 3

That's true since after 4 minutes Ava was at mile marker 3.

a) John is 3 years older than his brother Brian, the product of their ages is 54 i) Express this information in equation form ii) Show this information as a quadratic equation iii) Hence, solve the equation to find their individual ages.

Answers

Answer:

John is 9, Brian is 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

I)

Let [tex]J[/tex] represent John's age and [tex]B[/tex] represent Brian's age.

John is three years older than Brian. In other words:

[tex]J=B+3[/tex]

The product of their ages is 54. Or:

[tex]JB=54[/tex]

II)

Write this as a quadratic by substituting:

[tex]JB=54\\(B+3)B=54\\B^2+3B-54=0[/tex]

III)

Solve the quadratic:

[tex]B^2+3B-54=0\\B^2-6B+9B-54=0\\B(B-6)+9(B-6)=0\\(B+9)(B-6)=0\\B=-9, 6[/tex]

Since age cannot be negative, Brian must be 6 years old right now.

John is three year older, so John is 9.

EXAMPLE 4 Find ∂z/∂x and ∂z/∂y if z is defined implicitly as a function of x and y by the equation x6 + y6 + z6 + 18xyz = 1. SOLUTION To find ∂z/∂x, we differentiate implicitly with respect to x, being careful to treat y as a constant:

Answers

Answer:

see attachment

Step-by-step explanation:

We differentiate implicitly with respect to x taking y as a constant and we differentiate implicitly with respect to y taking x as a constant.

[tex]\rm \dfrac{\partial z}{\partial x} = - \dfrac{(x^5 + 3yz)}{z^5 + x} \ \ and \ \ \dfrac{\partial z}{\partial y} &= - \dfrac{(y^5 + 3xz)}{z^5 + y}[/tex]

What is an implicit function?

When in a function the dependent variable is not explicitly isolated on either side of the equation then the function becomes an implicit function.

The equation is given as [tex]\rm x^6 + y^6 + z^6 + 18xyz = 1.[/tex]

Differentiate partially the function with respect to x treating y as a constant.

[tex]\begin{aligned} \dfrac{\partial}{\partial x} x^6 + y^6 + z^6 + 18xyz &= 0\\\\6x^5 + 0 + 6z^5 \dfrac{\partial z }{\partial x} + 18y(z + x\dfrac{\partial z}{\partial x}) &= 0\\\\x^5 + z^5 \dfrac{\partial z }{\partial x} + 3y(z + x\dfrac{\partial z}{\partial x}) &= 0\\\\\dfrac{\partial z}{\partial x} &= - \dfrac{(x^5 + 3yz)}{z^5 + x} \end{aligned}[/tex]

Similarly, differentiate partially the function with respect to y treating x as a constant.

[tex]\begin{aligned} \dfrac{\partial}{\partial y} x^6 + y^6 + z^6 + 18xyz &= 0\\\\ 0 + 6y^5+ 6z^5 \dfrac{\partial z }{\partial y} + 18x(z + y\dfrac{\partial z}{\partial y}) &= 0\\\\y^5 + z^5 \dfrac{\partial z }{\partial y} + 3x(z + y\dfrac{\partial z}{\partial y}) &= 0\\\\\dfrac{\partial z}{\partial y} &= - \dfrac{(y^5 + 3xz)}{z^5 + y} \end{aligned}[/tex]

When doing blood testing for a viral infection, the procedure can be made more efficient and less expensive by combining partial samples of different blood specimens. If samples from five people are combined and the mixture tests negative, we know that all five individual samples are negative. Find the probability of a positive result for five samples combined into one mixture, assuming the probability of an individual blood sample testing positive for the virus is 0.06.

Answers

Answer: 0.271

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of complement of an even is 1 decreased by the probability of the event

P(At least one) =1 - P(none)

The probability that of testing negative is 0.9 because the probability of testing positive is 0.1

P( at least one) = 1 - P(none) = 1 - (0.93^3) = 0.271
