An automobile manufacturer finds that 1 in every 2500 automobiles produced has a particular manufacturing defect. ​(a) Use a binomial distribution to find the probability of finding 4 cars with the defect in a random sample of 7000 cars. ​(b) The Poisson distribution can be used to approximate the binomial distribution for large values of n and small values of p. Repeat​ (a) using a Poisson distribution and compare the results.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) 0.1558 = 15.58% probability of finding 4 cars with the defect in a random sample of 7000 cars.

b) 0.1557 = 15.57% probability of finding 4 cars with the defect in a random sample of 7000 cars. These probabilities are very close, which means that the approximation works.

Step-by-step explanation:

Binomial 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.

Poisson distribution:

In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:

[tex]P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}[/tex]

In which

x is the number of sucesses

e = 2.71828 is the Euler number

[tex]\mu[/tex] is the mean in the given interval.

To use the Poisson approximation for the binomial, we have that:

[tex]\mu = np[/tex]

1 in every 2500 automobiles produced has a particular manufacturing defect.

This means that [tex]p = \frac{1}{2500} = 0.0004[/tex]

a) Use a binomial distribution to find the probability of finding 4 cars with the defect in a random sample of 7000 cars.

This is [tex]P(X = 4)[/tex] when [tex]n = 7000[/tex]. So

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 4) = C_{7000,4}.(0.0004)^{4}.(0.9996)^{6996} = 0.1558[/tex]

0.1558 = 15.58% probability of finding 4 cars with the defect in a random sample of 7000 cars.

(b) The Poisson distribution can be used to approximate the binomial distribution for large values of n and small values of p.

Using the approximation:

[tex]\mu = np = 7000*0.0004 = 2.8[/tex]. So

[tex]P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 4) = \frac{e^{-2.8}*(2.8)^{4}}{(4)!} = 0.1557[/tex]

0.1557 = 15.57% probability of finding 4 cars with the defect in a random sample of 7000 cars. These probabilities are very close, which means that the approximation works.

Step-by-step explanation:

Under her cell phone plan, Lily pays a flat cost of $55.50 per month and $4 per
gigabyte. She wants to keep her bill at $63.10 per month. Write and solve an equation
which can be used to determine x, the number of gigabytes of data Lily can use while
staying within her budget.
equation:
answer x=

Answers

Answer:

Equation : y = 4x + 55.50

x = 1.9 gigabytes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Flat fee per month = $55.50

Cost per gigabyte = $4

Let,

x be the number of gigabytes.

y be the total cost

y = 4x + 55.50

Lily wants to keep her bill $63.10

63.10 = 4x + 55.50

63.10 - 55.50 = 4x

4x = 7.60

Dividing both sides by 4

[tex]\frac{4x}{4} = \frac{7.60}{4}\\x=1.9[/tex]

Hence,

Equation : y = 4x + 55.50

x = 1.9 gigabytes

Answers

Answer:

y = 4x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write the general equation

y = mx + b

Step 2: Identify b, the Y intercept (x = 0)

b is the value of y when x = 0.

From the graph, when x = 0, y = 3.

Therefore, b = 3

Step 3: The second point from graph (x, y):

P = (1, 7)

Step 4: Define m as ratio of rise / run:

[tex] m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} [/tex]

Step 5: Put coordinates into ratio:

Using the two coordinates, (0, 3) and (1, 7), we would have,

[tex] m = \frac{7 - 3}{1 - 0} [/tex]

Step 6: Perform subtraction to get slope:

[tex] m = \frac{4}{1} [/tex]

m = 4

Step 7: Substitute values into y = mx + b:

Thus, plug in the values of m and b into the slope-intercept equation.

b = 3, m = 4, therefore:

y = (4)x + (3)

Step 8: Write answer:

y = 4x + 3

Use this information to work out the total fuel bill for 1 working day.

You must show all your working.

Answers

Answer: £1517.04

Step-by-step explanation:

The fuel expenses for the vans will be calculated as:

Vans:

Since the average distance travelled per day is 198km and the average distance travelled per litre is 9km, the van would use:

= 198/9

= 22 litres

Since there are 8 vans, they'll use:

= 22 × 8 = 176 liters

Trucks:

Since the average distance travelled per day is 620km and the average distance travelled per litre is 6.2km, the truck would use:

= 620/6.2

= 100

Since there are 10 trucks, they'll use:

= 100 × 10 = 1000 liters

The amount of liters for both the van and the truck will be:

= 176 liters + 1000 liters

= 1176 liters

The fuel cost will then be:

= 1176 × 1£1.29

= £1517.04

Answers

Answer:

lesser x = -2

greater x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The values of a function f(x) are the values of x for which f(x) = 0.

In this question:

[tex]f(x) = 5x^2 - 20[/tex]

So, finding the zeros:

[tex]5x^2 - 20 = 0[/tex]

[tex]5x^2 = 20[/tex]

[tex]x^2 = \frac{20}{5}[/tex]

[tex]x^2 = 4[/tex]

[tex]x = \pm \sqrt{4}[/tex]

[tex]x = \pm 2[/tex]

So

lesser x = -2

greater x = 2

June serves a total of 10 slices of apple pie and a total of 11 slices of blueberry pie.

June serves 8 guests slices of both pies.

Answers

Answer:

a. 3

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve this question gathering the information given in the question.

June serves 8 guests slices of both pies.

This is soon going to be used

June serves a total of 10 slices of apple pie

This includes the 8 guests which got served both pieces. So 10 - 8 = 2 guests were served only apple pie.

11 slices of blueberry pie.

By the same logic as above, 11 - 8 = 3 guests were served only blueberry pie.

So

8 + 2 + 3 = 13 guests were served at least one pie.

16 - 13 = 3 guests had no pie at all.

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+138=180

2x= 42

x= 21

8y+2+2x=180

8y+2 + 42=180

8y= 136

y= 17

Answer:

x=21, y=68

Step-by-step explanation:

We're given that the quadrilateral on the left is a parallelogram as indicated by the arrow markings on the sides. We're also told that the angle on the right is 42 degrees. So, we can find the bottom right angle in the parallelogram by subtracting 42 from 180, because it forms a straight angle. 180-42 is 138. By the alternate interior angles theorem, 8y+2=138, because 138 is also the angle measure of the opposite corner. we also know that the bottom left angle in the parallelogram is the same as 2x. by the alternate interior angles theorem. Notice how the sides of the parallelogram with two arrow markings are parallel, which means that the bottom left angle and the 42 degree angle are congruent, or have the same measure, because of the parallel lines. This means that 2x=42, and the bottom left angle is 42. We can solve for x and y with simple algebra now. 8y+2=138, 8y=138-2, 8y=136, y=68. 2x=42, x=42/2, x=21. So, x is 21 and y is 68.
